Sunny my cockatiel has a broken feather after flying into the wall. It's a bit pinkish-orange. Is that blood? What should I do?

It's quite possibly blood. If it's not actively bleeding, it should be fine. If it's still bleeding, you can put corn starch, etc to help stop the bleeding. But it doesn't sound like it's still bleeding? Is he acting okay other that that? Is he stunned or sleepy?

He was still behaving fine after that.

How is your bird now?

He is still behaving like he usually would, I don't see the broken feather or blood anymore so I'm assuming it fell off.

Do you have QuikStop? It’s not recommended to use directly on skin, but it helps with small bleeds.
