-----Answer-----
Hi, Sam.  Thanks for posting!

Depends on what is causing the problem!  Lories don't have much blood in their entire bodies...how bad is this bleeding?  A bleeding nose in a parrot is usually a serious situation, as I have rarely seen this in over 17 years of caring for hundreds of parrots.  Usually, a nose bleed is the result of some type of fall, which has resulted in an internal injury.  You might need to take this bird to an avian veterinarian or emergency animal hospital ASAP, depending on whether the nose is still bleeding and the condition of the bird.  Do you have any idea what caused the bleeding?

Chrysthe lorikeets fine this morning well alert and i think its still a baby as its beek is still a odd colour .yes i think it flew into the doors .

Hi again, Sam.

If it flew into a window or a door, that could cause a nose bleed.  The bird is lucky, as I've seen birds do this and break their necks as soon as they hit.  Keep an eye on the bird as it could have injured itself internally.

Lorikeet are nice birds.  I have 3 red lories...very beautiful birds.  They make good pet birds.  They eat fruit, pollen, nectar, fruit juice, like hummingbirds.  I also feed mine cooked brown rice and veggies, etc.
