i have a three year old cockatiel. i just moved so his surroundings are new and he was flying around and i think he must have hit his toe on the wall or something b/c now it's purple and swollen. what can you do for a broken toe?

I accidentally walk on my lovebird foot one day and he was screaming hell. I was so nervous and didn’t know what to do. It took 1.5 month to gain back his full foot flexibility.
I simply made sure he always was resting on one side (a little tilted) on a blanket by stuffing on side. Eliminating weight on his foot. Also leaving him walk a little someday but most important, making him gripped on different circumference size of sticks, metal rod, etc, starting from the largest of course. This way, the bird slowly exercises the joins and muscles back to original flexibility. Hope it works out for you!
