I have my budgie for 6 years and since then he has kind of broken leg( actually its nothing serious it was probably broken when he caught in fight with another bird). So whats process of getting his leg to normal, will it hurt him? Any possible side effects, sufferings and etc.

If the leg is currently broken, it needs to be seen by a veterinarian right away as breaks in bird bones can lead to serious infection. If it was broken or deformed in the past but now healed, there may not be much that can be done for it, but a vet can still take a look. Otherwise, changing Parrot's environment so it is easier for him to perch, get around, get into and out of food and water dishes, etc may help.

You are probably doing all that can be done at home. Without a physical exam, we cannot legally recommend an antibiotics dose. The type of injury is likely still painful and she may need pain medication. Ideally, an exam with a veterinarian is what is needed to diagnose the extent of the injury and to discuss possible treatments.

Remove or lower high perches. Pad the cage bottom to prevent injury if he falls. Have him examined by your veterinarian or an experienced avian vet as soon as you can get an appointment. Keep Gaylord warm and as stress free as possible until he sees the doctor.

If your parrot has broken his leg it is best to seek veterinary care in person immediately. They can assess the extent of the break, providing treatment for repairing or stabilizing it and provide any medications as needed such as pain meds while he recovers. Your vet can also provide you with further instruction for caring for the leg as it heals. Until you can get to your vet, moving your bird to a hospital cage that is kept warm with low, flat perches (or no perches) and food and water dishes that are shallow and easy to get in and out of may help take some weight off the injured leg until it can be treated.
