Injured nostril

[eosaw]

Hello,

Earlier today my parrot ran into a wall and when I when to pick him up I noticed a bit of the skin around his nostril had been peeled back. It didn't look really bad at first and I choose let it go and just keep watching him in case something happened. When I came back to check on him a few hours later I noticed dried blood around the scratch and although he's been acting very normally, I don't know if I should just let it heal or if this is something to be really worried about?

Yikes! Poor baby! As long as he’s not scratching it open, it looks to me like it should heal fine on its own. Just keep an eye on it for a few days.

Just make sure it stays clean and he isn't reopening it. Watch for signs of infection too but otherwise it should heal on its own
