Help! How to bandage Cockatiel's nail After it stopped bleeding?

My fiance cut Marshy's nail too short. We stopped the bleeding by dipping her nail in flour. The issue is that it's clearly sensitive and causing her pain. She doesn't put weight on her foot. Is there a type or way of bandaging her nail and talon so it doesn't hurt her?

Thanks!

It will hurt with or without a bandage because it is a nerve that has been bothered.
If it is not bleeding I would guess you would be best to leave it be as birds have a tendency of harassing bandages and things stuck on them that do not belong there.
Maybe pad one of her favorite perches with vet tape or fleece blanket fixed in place so it is a bit easier for her to rest that toe and still be comfy for a few days.

@finchly might have some better ideas for you.

I have nothing to add. It just hurts. It’ll get better.
