My budgies recently got their wings clipped. They all seemed fine right after. However, a few days later, one of them keeps stretching her wings, especially the right one. And whenever she stretches it, it vibrates. She tends to keep it stretched and therefore, it continuously vibrates. The wing area that I would equate to the human shoulder also seems a little higher on that side than the other. Is this just a stress response because she is the one that is least comfortable with touching and loves to fly away from us (and now she can't) or do you think there's a problem and she hurt herself trying to fly after getting her wings clipped? Her behavior seems fine and she seems to fly and jump around like normal.

Just out of curiosity, you said she is the least comfortable with touching.
How are you touching her? Are you trying to get her to step up, stroking her belly or her back? I'm only curious as most budgies don't enjoy being touched that much and you should never stroke them on the back (I'm not assuming that you don't know this already, but it's worth mentioning in case you don't).
I also wonder why you clipped the wings of a budgie that wants to fly away from you and now can't. I'm not sure it's the right way to gain her trust.

I can't advise on the wing clipping and if there's an injury, so can be of no help there.

Good question! With my other budgies, they will usually let me touch their stomachs or their beaks. She, however, tends to run away unless she's jumping onto me. She has become more comfortable with me over time, but she's still a bit more flighty compared to the others, which I'm guessing is just her personality.

As in all situations if you are unsure I would recommend an avian vet visit. She could be stressed from the situation or there could be some damage, a vet is the best option. I hope she is simply not used to the situation and is adjusting . ope she settles soon.:budgie:
