Odd crust on my caiques beak

I just came back from college for the weekend And noticed these odd purple-ish spots on my sweet baby's beak but I'm not sure what they are. My other bird (a sunset lorikeet) doesn't seem so have them. She's about 14 and we recently moved both of them to a new room. Does anyone know what this is and should I take her to a vet?

I havent seen it before on any of mine. Id be concerned that the caique has been exploring in dark corners where no bird should be. No harm to have have a vet look at it. But you should examine the room first for any caique damage which might be the explanation

Does she have any purple toys that could have transferred the dye to her if they became wet?

It's possible, they're in the care of my parents while I'm at college right now and they usually let her run around like a dog inside. She loves is but she's always so curious about everything. I'm gonna schedule a vet appointment for the both of them just to be safe
