My male budgie slammed into a wall...?

Hi. I had my male budgie out about an hour ago with my two cockatiels, and he got startled and flew into the kitchen. I heard a loud thump and saw him standing on the top of my cabinets, so I'm guessing he hit his head. He was fine, he flew over to me, then flew back to his mate, and was acting normal. He chirped and bobbed his head at his girlfriend, doing what he normally does.

However, when I picked him up again to see if he was okay, there seemed to be a red split down the middle of his cere. He doesn't seem like he's hurt, he just seems normal. I'm just really worried this might be an issue. Will he be okay? There's no blood... It's just like a little kid when he's bust his lip.

I just need to know if I need to take him to a vet? (I'm trying to save it for complete emergencies... Just a little check-up for them costs over $60.00!)

Thank you!
