Bruised wing?

[joeydgraffix]

Yesterday Kiwi was flying to me when I was going into my room, and one of her wings hit the door. I think her wing got bruised, cause now she sorta flaps it up. Should I just let her rest for the next couple of days?

I would let her rest. She is probably startled from the hit & her wing just needs some time to heal. If its not better in the next few days I would take her to the vet. Do you see anything visibly wrong, i.e. it looks broken or she cant hold it to her body on her own? If she is clearly struggling with the wing, take her to the vet. Otherwise give her a few days to recuperate.

No, visibly everything seems good. She can flap her wings and she acts normal. But since its hurting I see she doesnt want to fly.

But if she does fly a short distance I do see her flap her injured wing a bit.

I wouldn't encourage her to fly. If the wing is hurt in any way flying could only make it worse. Try to keep her from using the wing, shell heal faster that way.
