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.
