Question

my bird's foot has been bothering her all day, it's also warmer than her other foot...she keeps like kicking it so I know it's really annoying her..what is the problem???

Answer 1

If one foot is warmer than the other it could be a sign of infection.

Does it look swollen at all? If its annoying your bird chances are its painful. I would consult a vet asap as any sign of illness in birds should be treated as serious and an infection can kill.

Your vet will be able to give your bird some antibiotics and possibly anti-inflammitories to help her.

Answer 2

Get her to the vet it's better to be safe than sorry.
