Welcome to BYC. I had one with a dislocated wing or leg (I don't remember), and I relocated it.

Can you walk me through how you did it?

If she will let you touch her leg? Have a feel of the leg bones and joints to determine if anything is broken, out of place or swollen.
I take it she is missing feathers on her back under her wings and a bit raw?

Yes, I can touch it and even move it a bit. I can't see any open wounds on her leg. Her back is healing and the feathers are just barely reappearing.

And her hip? Does she show any signs of discomfort when you touch or move her legs?

I can move it. She doesn't like it, but her reaction isn't hysteria, just avoidance. I believe it is actually her hip that is out of place. The leg and foot look okay. When I carry her, her good leg paddles, but the bad one doesn't move much.

I don’t know enough about goose hips to advise there I’m sorry, other than it could be dislocated with nerve and tendon damage. Do you have an avian vet or wild bird rescue in your area?

Our "bird vet" passed away a year ago. Would have to research for rescue group. Thanks for the support.
