I had a pet canary that grew it's leg back. I was 10 yrs old and cleaning his cage. The chain fell loose and the cage dropped, trapping the bird's leg under the bottom of the cage. I yelled for my Dad when I saw the leg was hanging by a sliver of skin. Dad took a piece of toothpick to use as a splint, spread Watkins Petro-Carbo salve on a small piece of gauze and wrapped it's leg. It grew back by the next time I cleaned the cage which was about a week. Miracle? I believe it was to this day.

Can Magpies grow missing wing feather back - I have a magpie that has been attacked by other Magpies and has a broken foot and feathers missing. It can fly but I want to know if feather grow back?

Yes. All birds will regrow feathers. Birds go through a molt each year. Molt is the loss of old and damaged feathers and the regrowth on new ones. If the magpie can still fly and if it survives until its next molting period, it will have a new feather to replace the lost one.

It depends what type of shrub forms the hedge. With the normal hedging like privet or cotoneaster you can cut it hard back to a foot from the ground and it will grow back much thicker.
