I used to work for the conservation department, and unfortunately you don’t really have options. If it were a bird of prey you could take it to the bird sanctuary in St. Louis. I mean, you could take it to a vet, but I’m not sure if they would fix it up and that could be pricey.

The sad thing is this happens all the time in the natural world, we just don’t see it and thus it is sheltered from our value system. If you cant find options, the best thing is to put it down. A painless death is better than what most animals succumb to anyways.
