It looks like frostbite. Have you been experiencing freezing temps?

That's what did it then I've only dealt with minor frostbite, but I've heard a lot of people say to leave it alone to heal and the black parts will eventually fall off. It shouldn't affect the bird negatively.

Give him some lovins and put some plain neosporin on his comb. Check him daily. X

I hope Cooper gets better soon. Was there a wind chill with the 4 degrees?

Depending on how bad the frostbite is, he may lose the purpled parts of his comb. Poor guy!
