My dear, I realize that you want to help the poor little thing but he is suffering and needs medical treatment or, at least, somebody who has a lot of experience with injured birds and has the meds he
needs. for all your good intentions, you simply do not have the knowledge, the meds or the financial resources. I also realize your parents are not being very cooperative about the whole thing and will not pay for a vet (it would cost much closer to $100 than to $500) so what you need to do is call local bird rescues and ask them for help in either taking the bird in (so they can take it to the vet) or giving you advice/medicine for it. He needs metacam (which is a pain killer but you can only get it with a vet's prescription), antibiotics (because the 'goo' that came out is, most likely, pus) and ointment for his burns as well as soft perches and surfaces (because the feet cannot be bandaged so you need to reduce, as much as possible, the friction on the burns so they can heal).
If you cannot find a good rescue (don't give it to just anybody who calls itself a rescuer or says they have experience) and you are in the NY tristate area, I can send my husband to pick him up as I could treat him for you (I don't want to keep him, I just don't want him to continue suffering - I have the meds he needs and the experience to treat him).
