I see that you asked this question twice, so I am reposting my answer here to you to make sure it gets to you.
If Pirrot has been injured it is best to seek veterinary care right away, especially if he was bleeding. It may be possible that there are more severe internal injuries, or there are wounds that need to be properly cleaned and treated with antibiotics to help heal.
Until you can get to your vet, it is best to keep him in a warm cage separated from any other birds, and to clean up any blood or wounds with a clean washcloth. If he begins to act ill or the bleeding is unable to be stopped, seeking veterinary care immediately is needed.
