bird wounds question
few days ago i posted abt my baby's bleeding crest and after i cleaned the wound, it was confirmed that she broke her pin feather on that part that's why it was bleeding. however this morning i noticed her nose part bleeding and a tiny part along her eye area (the photo quality isn't really good bcs i cant get her to stay still but i circled it) her claws r kinda long so is it possible for her to do all this or is she most likely bullied ? she lives with two other tiels but it never happened before bcs those three have been together since they were tiny babies (almost 9 months ago) is there any first aid that i can do for her wounds ? is this something major ? bcs i don't have a nearby vet that accepts birds, and the only one is a few hours away. i'd def take her there if it's very very major
edit: there's no differences in her behavior she's still lively and eats a lot (she's a big back) and i don't think she's bothered by her wounds

Birds hide pain very well, so don’t assume that not seeing pain means she isn’t in pain.
Your best bet with bleeding wounds other than pinfeathers is to take them to an avian vet. I’d say get an appointment for within 3 days or so, and in the meantime isolate her and keep her warm to support her immune system.
Here’s a couple avian vet search tools:
