Hello. I see it has been a few hours now since you first posted your question.

What is the situation right now?

Is there still any active bleeding going on? Where was/is, the blood coming from?

Is it actually from a break in the beak itself?

It there is still any bleeding, stop wiping it off. It needs the chance to clot.

Are the bird's wings clipped? Did you witness the accident? From how high did it fall? I'm trying to get a feel for how serious the injury may be.

Let me know and we can go from there. Patricia
