Baby cockateil was sat on the door and the door was accidentally slammed shut. Her toes are still in tact, but her foot is bleeding and she finds it hard to put pressure on it.

Hi and thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Sorry to hear about Pika. I would advise taking her to the local avian vet near you. Looks like she needs some soaking solution for her feet, some antibiotics, and some pain/anti-inflammatory meds. Not sure what they can do if the toes are broken. Good luck
