Love the pictures.
Depending on how much skin is missing.. Carefully clean the wound and hold the skin together with thin strips of bandage. Honey is an antibiotic and sugar changes the ph of the wound and both help in healing. This is an old fashioned dressing. If there is no way to bandaid cover the wound, then use a gauze pad and wrap the bird to hold the dressing in place...change every 3rd day.
(Currently being used by a doctor as a dressing for a little old lady back behind us who lost a strip of skin on her leg! Hers is covered by a shaped silver metal plate and wrapped in gauze)
