The night before last, Peach had night frights. I got up and helped her back to her perch and sat with her for a while and she seemed OK. Next morning I found a pretty good size drop of blood on her floor paper. I have been watching her closely. No more blood, she's eating (not much yesterday but regularly today)and playing with her toys. I can't find any sign of the source of the blood. Should I assume she's OK?

She's fine. Jaid gets night frights too and they end with some blood, but I've never had to pull any feathers. As long as she's acting normal, no need to worry.

I agree with Stephanie. If the bleeding has stopped and she's acting normal, she's fine. The blood spot is a sign that a wing feather was knocked loose or even knocked out completely. If it was knocked out completely it's not a problem - the feather will grow back. If it was just knocked loose it's possible that it might bother her some and you'll hear her squawk when she preens it or when she folds her wing after flying or stretching. But this isn't a major problem either. The feather will either heal back into place or it will fall out after a while.
