My conure hit her head. Should I take her to vet or just monitor?

Pet's info: Bird | Conure | Female | unspayed | 1 year and 2 months old

Hello! So I have a one year old conure who I was about to give a bath to today when she heard a loud noise and began flying around, bumping her head into the mirror about 3-4 times. Her beak is fine, she’s turning her head, grooming and flying fine without balance issues or drooping wings. She ate and drank, but had some watery poop. She’s as active. I wanted to know if I should still bring her to our local vet or monitor her as a car ride might be bad.

As long as she is behaving normally, you can monitor her at home. the loose droppings were likely stress related. If they don't firm up or if Red develops lethargy, bleeding, bruising or loss of appetite, then you should have her examined.
