Question
Bruce was given to me to take care of ... My dad found him on the side of the street hurt... His leg dangles so I put a cast so it could stay place,  .. is there any advice that you can give me for him please.

Answer
Hello cat and thank you for your post.
bruce needs to be seen by a Certified Avian or Exothi Animal Vet to have his leg set correctly.
Any kind of injury can be extremely stressful to a bird, and in some instances, cause the bird to have a hearattack.
In the mean time, try to keep him calm and warm.  He is probably in shock.  

Good luck and God Bless.
