You really need to take your bird to the vet for treatment. Necrosis (like on your bird's foot) can and many times will turn into gangrene. The only cure many times for gangrene is amputation.

My vet who removed this thread situation from birds foot once before ..he has seen the picture and told me to anyhow remove the thread and give her medicine which I have... But m unable to remove the thread it's too tightly wrapped.. Trying again n again.. She's very much in pain
Yes I'm sure this is going to get worse.. Can't have any doctor around for now, I'm in India at present and everything is shut. No vet /avian doctors available at this time..You really need to take your bird to the vet for treatment. Necrosis (like on your bird's foot) can and many times will turn into gangrene. The only cure many times for gangrene is amputation.

Cutest Bird Ever!!!
That is a budgie not a lovebird.
Try your best to remove the thread, maybe get someone else to hold the bird while you do so.
Pain medication from the vet would be good if you can get it but ultimately you will need the vet to treat this (likely by amputation).
I would also try and clean up your cage removing those materials to avoid future problems.
