However, if Blue Bird had a blue cere, and it turned this color, a vet check is in order. The darkening of the cere, if it's not nasal discharge, indicates an over-production of estrogen. In females, this is normal, of course. In males, it is a possible indicator of a tumor.
I hope this helps. If you're still concerned, an avian vet checkup might help!
