Were any large arteries or veins hit? Head to the vet as soon as possible. Thats really all you can do.

Can you get photos for us? Is a vet an option?

For now,
It's also very important that you treat for shock, place the bird indoors, where it is warm, and make the room dark. Keep everything quiet to reduce stress.

Make sure its clean and the bleeding is stopped. If not apply corn starch to the wound to help in clot.

Most vets that treat birds like parakeets and wild birds, are also willing to take waterfowl and landfowl. Some small animal vets may even do it

She stopped bleeding, no veins or arteries were hit and the esophagus is in tact

I just know it isn't always an option. In a lot of areas including mine, vets won't see birds or poultry unless they're avian/exotics vets. I'm lucky as I have one exotics vet that's close enough, no one else sees them.
