Bloody Poop- Coccidiosis? Urgent!

Sounds like new feathers coming in. The feathers form inside sheaths, and once ready the sheaths flake off and the feathers emerge. While they are still inside the sheaths they are called pin feathers. Could be part of a juvenile molt, and there may be more on other parts of her body also. Sometimes it's very gradual and not very noticeable, they are more visible on the head and neck. So probably perfectly normal. Here's a couple of pictures of pin feathers and sheaths.

Looks just like that! It's not as prominent on her, but that's exactly what it is! Thanks so much!

This looks like it could be intestinal lining.

x2, which should not happen often at all
i would def keep an eye on it

Quick question, this may be nothing, but there are these weird casings on Luna's head feathers. She is asleep right now so I can't get a photo, but I will describe it. It looks just like that plastic casing on the end of shoelaces that keep the laces from fraying. It comes off if I massage it. I checked for lice/mites on her head and under her wings, and although I couldn't see anything, I'm not 100% sure what I'm looking for. Thanks!

if it happens again - make note

Hasn't happened again. She is healthy now and all better. Thanks for the extra info though!
