Actually, many birds can do very well with only one leg -- far better than humans. If this is a kept bird, you might keep the wings a little less clipped, so they can use the wings to correct a fall. If the wound is still open, treat with antibiotics and bandage until it heals -- this is often a problem as birds dislike bandages. You might want professional help here. If the wound is healed, no worries. Until the bird acclimates to the missing leg (which is usally not a long time), keep an eye on it to make sure it's safe. Be extra careful to make sure it can easily get to food and water.

∙ 13y agoWhen taking care of a baby bird, no matter how old it is, it is best fed with dog food, mixed with water...very little. I use a very small measuring spoon to start with, holding the bird in my left had and unfortunately insert the small spoon in the mouh of the baby bird...after a day or so...it will gladly open it's mouth for it's food. I have raised many babies this way, and released them in my yard. I have had several return to me for a couple of days trying to land on my hat...then I would sit on the walkway..with the dog food in a dish, and let them approach me. The would land about 5 ft. away...then hop over to the food. I had a sparrow that did this for 3 days before learning how to eat seed. She was precious and is now out there somewhere.
