...Nubby has got a minor injury. He has a small blood mark under his left eye. It was bothering him as he keeps rubbing it. Strange because I am thinking he must have done it 1 of 3 ways... 1. Rubbing his head too vigorously because he is moulting atm 2. Murph preening him (he does this A LOT) and broke a feather or 3. He was pecked by Muprh earlier on in the day because he got a bit nasty with him and Murph pecked him (very unusual) however he might have been grooming him and caught a sore feather causing the bleed hence I found blood on Murphs cheek! I have kept an eye on him (excuse the pun) and bathed it with a weak saline solution. Only later this morning after the bathing he would let me look at it (managed to get a photo): "I have been violated, dont come near me".
At least his eye isn't swollen and as you can see it is underneath and not the eye itself (thank god)
Captions if you like for the photo lol!

It'll probably remain a mystery, but my guess is he's rubbed it on a perch.

Keep sounding like a parent when I speak to him at the moment... am saying "stop rubbing it" in my usual silly budgie voice lol!!!

How is Nubby this morning Sam, hope his eye is looking better. Well he's none the worse for wear, so fingers crossed it is only a minor thing. It's not impeding him in any way and he's jumping around the cage like he normally does so he's alright (silly sausage) Thanks for asking JB
