I am very worried, i have a parrotlet and she is 7 years old, she got something in her mouth and have been doing this for a while, so she shakes her head and then scratchas her mouth to get the stuff out today,So it started to bleed but know it has stopped. This only happend two times but a long time ago. The thing that concerns me is that she always had this abcess in her tounge. We took a vet checkup on my other bird that time, but the vet examined both of them, at the time she du did not say anything about the abcess but it have been there in months since i started noticing it. So i maybe think that is was the abcess that bled but i dont know. I am just worried and i dont want her to have cancer or anything like that. No change in her behavior, same apetite. Im just really really worried.

I wonder if the vet did not notice this? It’s too bad you didn’t tell them about the mouth problem.
If she’s not bleeding now, that’s good. But she likely needs someone to take a look at her mouth sore. If she gets stuff caught in it or is scratching at it, it may be painful. I would get it checked out!

Yes, ive seen that she has been doing this a couple of times today, but she eats normalt and dont have problem at that point. But when she gets something in her mouth she starts shaking it. I will see if i will have to take her to the vet.
There is no vet until tomorrow, om freaking out

Awww...this is a scary concerning issue.
There is definitely pain, that's why she keeps scratching at it .
I hope you will keep us updated on the cause and treatment. We all learn from each other.
Good luck at the vets! Praying you guys get good help

So today we will take her to the vet, but its so devastating to se her in pain, her eyes are squinting and seems stressed, the good news is that she still eats her favourite food like a horse. I still see some bleeding after she ate or sharpen her beak. But not much, she just needs to rest until we take her to the vet so she does not feel stress

I hope the vet can offer some help and relief for your little one.
UPDATE!!
So ive had her checked now, she did not have some kind of wound and said her mouth was fine, maybe a slight injury in the mouth but will be treated with a painkilling medecine. She seems fine now and are eating well! The only thing that was off was some swelling around the cloaca, ive had checked this before and said it was becuase of an egg, this swelling have been around for a very long time and have not grown anything at all, but for now she is fine! They only said we need to take her in if the swelling has grown, but it have not.Thankyou for the souport and advice! I aprecieate it!

Yes, she maybe do that, but the vet told is that the lump kind of was soft, and that often presents as lipomas ive had reaserch about, but in not a vet myself, it is only a guess, but the mainly thing is that she is ok and got the medecation she needed!! it was so funny that she was so calm , she preens herself when she was at the vet, and also wanted to eat some pellets on the ride home, that was a little diffucult do

No source of the blood was found?
Well I'm glad to hear she feels better and has pain relief. Hopefully no repeats!
I would monitor her weight weekly.

they said that they did not find sometjing on her tounge, they checked the crop and the throat but did not find anything there neither, she bleeds sometimes but not much only when she eats and the food maybe touches some sore place, but she still tries to eat. We have given her pain medication and i hope in the week it Will be better!
Yes she gets soft good but dont have problem with hard food, she is ok , she seems to be a little under the weather still but she can eat. A little puffed up and squinty eyes when she rests,She almost ate the whole time thorugh the day, she has been wagging her tail and also flied today!! I will just let her recover and have a calm week until she feels better and that the medication will have full effect!
