Okay, so our sun conure is a little sh** ball, and he bit Chivalry (my grey) a couple times. They are very very minor, and he hardly bled, but I'd like to know how (if at all) I should take care of his wounds. I gave him a bath and dried him really well to get the blood off, but I'm not sure what else to do. Any advice?

Aloe vera can be used for minor wounds as it is a natural antiseptic. Where did he get bitten?

iThere is one small cut right above his nostril and then another right above his eye (that one is pretty minor). Actually, they're BOTH pretty minor, but I am always overly concerned, especially since we lost one of our lovebirds recently.

Joshua sometimes gets bumps and cuts and what look like bruises from when he plays in a fairly rough-and-tumble manner. I just leave them be, they are so minor it hardly seems to matter, but I suppose where the mouth bacteria of one animal comes in contact with the blood of another, you might need to disinfect it - just to be on the safe side. Not because of the cuts/grazes, but because of the toxic nature of bites.
