I am using Hydrogen peroxide to clean there wounds. I tried wrapping the one who doesn’t have a leg (iris) but she kept taking it off. She can get around better without the wrapping on her.

Peroxide is ok for initial cleaning, but prolonged use can damage skin.
If you need to re-clean the feet, then you can use something like diluted Chlorhexidine or if you don't have that, then a little warm soapy water will work - just rinse well.
Apply triple antibiotic ointment to the wounds. The wounds that are fairly minor like scratches, I would leave those uncovered, but the one on the top of the foot, if it were mine, I would apply just a thin layer of ointment, place a tiny square of nonstick gauze, then wrap with vet wrap. Change the dressing and check the wound daily.
Keep the birds on clean dry bedding.

Ok thank you so so much! I am going to keep the baby with the wound on top covered, and keep the baby with the broken leg in a splint. Again, thank you so much!
