My cockatiel took a fall from the top of the fridge and isn't adjusting his wing in place properly. This is relatively common for him given he is somewhat clumsy so I wasn't too worried at first, but it's been a couple of hours and by now he would have notmally sorted it out already. I'm having second thoughts and thinking that maybe I should go to the vet, but all the ones that treat birds are closed. Am I overthinking things?

Here is a video:

I have some vets nearby who treat birds only and that's where i usually take him, but they are closed right now. This is the type of dumb stuff he does about once a month, but usually he doesnt stay like this for so long and right now I'm starting to freak out a bit I guess. He still moves without making a fuss and has preened it a bit, but still...
