Last night I left my parrot on top of the cage while I was in the room, which I never had problem with, but this time I left a window open (it has a net so he won't fly out) but some idiot drove by with a really loud muffler, and scared my bird. He normally isn't bothered by loud noises but this time he got spooked and flew outside of the room in to a pitch black living room, and he hit something.
He has had accidents similar like that when he was learning to fly, but this time when I put him in the cage I found his blood on my hand, I initially freaked out, he is very tame when I handle him, I opened his beak, used paper towel to clean out blood, the beak stopped bleeding in about a minute if not less. There were not a whole lot of blood.
After I cleaned it, there is a small piece/lair broke off right on the tip. the problem now is that anytime he tries to bite something and he slightly touches tip of his beak it hurts. If I touch the beak it self outside and inside with the swab he is not bothered by that but only the tip. He wouldn't eat anything a whole day, but I decided to hand feed him now, I figured that he should feel better now, It was initially hard to put food in his mouth because it would hurt but after I was "teaching" him to not use the tip of the beak he caught on to it and was just opening his mouth while I was putting food in between beaks so when he closes his mouth the food wouldn't touch the tip. He's eating that way without a problem.
I know it hasn't been a day yet but Is this something I should be concerned about? How fast should I expect it to heal and for him not to feel pain when he's eating? and is there something I can get for his pain to temporarily go away.
ON one side I"m thinking he shouldn't use the tip of his beak because it may get infected but I'm not a vet so I don't even know if it can get infected.
I couldn't find a crack, just seems like a small lair separated and happened to be too close to a capillary/vain not sure how it works there.
