Hello I have a 2 year old English budgie and he has plucked out his feathers off his wing to the point where you can see his skin on shoulder area and it looks a bit swollen. I am making an appointment for him this week but I was wondering if anyone might know something about this

You can get a clean new mini spritz spray bottle, and add a few drops if betadine to water for a light water down tea color, and spritz the area. It won't hurt anything, might help a little as it has anti microbial properties. Not a replacement fir vet care of course
Could have injured it, does he live with other budgies?

No it’s just him. I rescued him and he was in bad shape he got better and now he’s doing this !
Ya I think so to. I’m going to take him to the vet hopefully it’s nothing to bad !
He was never handled or trained he was severely dehydrated and the vet gave me antibiotics for him wasn’t drinking at all singing only a little and sleeping most of the time. I seen him and took him from my friend straight to the vet and I kept him . Tried training him when he felt better but he is so afraid of hands so I stopped ! He’s in good spirits singing away seems happy it’s just this wing I’m worried about
