my 'tiel muffin just got attacked my kiwi. they usually like each other and get along well but for some reason kiwi attacked muffin. muffin's eyes are red and some feathers on her head have been pulled out. she also has a scratch on her beak. right now I separated them and gave muffin time to rest and put some food and water next to her
ill try to get her to the vet asap (which is in like a couple of days.)
is there anything I should do in the meantime?

What is kiwi? Another bird? If so what kind?

There’s not much information to be able to help with but generally keep them quiet warm and calm till they can be taken to the vet.

update: just saw that muffin's toe is bent, I think it's broken.

Have you managed to secure an appointment time? If there are possible broken bones then you'll want that vet appointment asap. Until your vet trip I suggest keeping the birds separate and setting up a smaller cage so you can keep your injured bird safe warm and quiet.
