Found a sick wild parrot with broken wings. What should I do?

Question

This parrot crashed in our balcony last night. And we fed it with bread crumbs and fruits. But it looks really sick and its legs are kind off broken and spread out and a wing is broken too. We want to save it but is scared if it is infected or has bird flu. I tried to attach photos but could not. Kindly assist. Pet's info: Bird | Unknown - Bird | Female

If you've found a wild or potentially sick parrot, it would be best to seek out a local wildlife refuge or vet that sees birds in your area ASAP. They can assess the bird for any signs of illness, rehabilitate it and release it back into the wild as needed. If you have any other pet birds, it is best to keep them completely separated in different cages, rooms, etc and clean any objects or wash your hands after handling the possibly ill bird to prevent the spread of illness to any others in your household. Keeping the bird calm, quiet, and eating and drinking may help some until you can find someone to take a look at her.
