Assuming that it is just dried blood on the bird due to a broken feather ect and not a wound of some sort simply put a dish of water in the cage and do nothing else. The bird will thoroughly groom itself in a short period of time. Using cleaning products or soaps is never a good idea because they can leave residue which can be ingested through grooming and cause illness. If the bird is still bleeding, it needs to see the vet.
