He needs to see a vet. Sooner than later. It looks like his preening gland is infected. The infection needs to be treated right away. If it starts bleeding before you can get in to see a vet, you can use flour or cornstarch to help stop bleeding.
Please let us know how the vet visit goes.

Trying my best to make him an appointment. Unfortunately very few avian vets near me and the only options are booked out for at least a week or two (this is the emergency wait times, regular visits are booked out one to two months!). Is there anything I can do in the meantime?

All I can suggest is warm water with a little epsom salt mixed in it and clean the area a few times a day. Infections in birds progress very quickly so any appointment is better than no appointment. Maybe you can place a call to a vet to seek advice. As well, you can sometimes get advice from vets online.search for “free avian vet advice” or something similar to see what you can find.
