Poor Grey! If the bleeding has stopped, I would keep an eye on him and If he has any trouble breathing, there is a large visible wound or crack on the beak, or he isn't eating or drinking, then I would seek veterinary care ASAP as these are all signs that the issue is more serious and requires treatment by a veterinarian.
