Answer
Hi, Heather.  Thanks for posting!

Australian Conure - I can't help much since I don't know exactly what's wrong with the conure's leg.  Is it broken, do you see any type of injury(ies), blood, etc.?  When a parrot gets a leg tangled up like this in a toy, they can do all sorts of damage to themselves trying to free themselves, so her leg/foot might not be her only injury.  You've done good by putting her in a small cage to limit her movements, but you've got to stop her from climbing up the cage wire...do you have an even smaller cage she can be placed in so you can keep her on the cage bottom or at most perching on a low perch?  She also needs to be kept warm and in a quiet location with plenty of food and water.  Shock is often worse than the injury(ies) themselves.

Blue crown - This bird could have had a stroke or something serious.

I know you say you don't have $$$, but both of these parrots need to be seen by an avian veterinarian ASAP.  Sorry, but there's just no getting around it.
