Thanks for reaching out about Red. Without a photo it is difficult to give any further advise, except a veterinary visit is needed as soon as possible. Blood on the head is a possible trauma from a fall or aggression by another animal, bleeding blood feathers, self induced trauma, a few viral diseases (PBFD, polyoma) just to list a few. Separate from the other birds, provide heat support in the 80-85 F range, ensure food/water is within reach. Syringe water if not drinking. Good luck.
