Alright

It looks like it's her beak that's bleeding. It's hard to tell from the pictures, but is the tip of her top beak missing? They can bleed.

If the damage is getting this bad, you should probably decided which one to keep and which one to rehome.

You're doing the right things so far. Does your injured bird have heat too? Injured birds may need it and should be kept warm.

Looks like the upper beak is chipped (in pics, you can see how it wouldn't quite meet the lower if it were closed) and blood is wicking into her mouth, thus the bloody corners.

Keep in mind that blood always looks way more alarming spread around than it does in a drop—this doesn't look extreme, but the injury must be painful.

Keep light and noise low, put her in a container with clean bedding, add a heat source if your house is cold, and wait for her body's own clotting factor to kick in. Don't worry about getting her clean until later, and don't be surprised if she preens out her own dirty feathers.

She has heat. Now that she's calmer she did start preening. She stopped bleeding. Thanks.

In my experience with surface wounds on these birds, it's a good sign when they go from "ow—I hurt!" to "eew—I'm itchy!" Lingering too long in the "I'm hurt!" phase usually means the wound is actually more severe. If she doesn't resume normal behavior by tomorrow, you might take her to a vet if you can, see what else might be wrong.

When birds are beyond simple stress or in shock (not preening, not eating/drinking, not moving, puffed up feathers, eyes closed and/or head bowed), that's usually when you lose them or the injury winds up being more than they can heal to full health on their own. Like, I've had several birds bleed, but I've never lost a bird because of bleeding.

Also, my females don't get along and I don't know why. This is the second time they have attacked each other so I keep them separated and switch them every few days but they still live side by side. I put them together for one second and then I was going to serperate again and she was bleeding.

I don't understand - they did this to each other through their cages or you put them together knowing they've already attacked each other? Can I ask why would you do this? putting them together even for a second?
I've learned these Jumbo white females are stubborn and aggressive ( I hatched one, raised her with alot of handling and she can barely stand me and attacks when i take her eggs) I'm only questioning to learn, not to attack.

this is the second bird, correct? Please don't put them in the same room, especially for the next couple of days so they can heal in peace.

Yes, I put them together but I try not to. I realized I didn't have the other cage actually ready next to me and when I came back she (the one who was bleeding, Windsprint) was hurt. I'm definitely NEVER putting them together again, especially since they somehow both got hurt. They're not next to each other right now.
