I was just checking on Chirp, and I noticed that he had a bit of dried blood on his cere! I cleaned it up with a wet q tip, and it looks like he scuffed up his cere.
He likes to rub his head/beak on stuff, so I'm thinking he scratched himself up when he was wiping his beak, for example, on the corner of his cage, which is kind of sharp.
He isn't bleeding now, and he's just as happy as ever. Flying, yelling, the whole shebang. I put him in his travel cage just to keep an eye on him, which he isn't happy about.
Thoughts? Should we call the vet, or just keep an eye on him?
ETA: I just wiped a little bit more of the blood off his cere with another Q-tip. Now there's only a little bit left.
