PLEASE!!
Vets allways have emergencey Numbers to telephone call. 24/7.
First, check your local areas. There is always somewhere specifically open 24/7 for animals. Second, your bird will most likely not die. It's just a foot injury. You involve to check everywhere for an animal hospital or clinic. I'm sure there is something around to help you. I don't really assume you can make a cast for him but you should just maintain an eye on him until he's better.
Hope I helped!
Answers: Keep your bird warm by placing a heating wipe under outside bottom of is cage. Then place hose down and food on bottom of cage for him. Cover half cage to hold heat in. Call ER vets and see whether they have a vet that sees birds on staff. If not as if they know of one that does. If cannot cart tonight then keep bird warm and silence and call avian vet first thing in am. I would not attempt to clear a brace or anything for foot or leg as you do not know if and where the break is and may make it worse. Have to remain stillness as the bird picks up on your stress and it will make things worse for him and yourself. Its turning purple as it is bruised or broke. As long as not loosing any blood that is a good sign. Call vet and see what have to offer. Good luck.
Ditto what Thom said, they always have emergency numbers to call so name anyway and get that number.
You can't really make a cast for it. Chances are whether it is broken it will heal but if toes are bent or deformed it will stay that way. But here are emergency vets in most cities. Good luck. Clip its wings so it wont begin again.
