my cockatiel bumped a feather out of place, and it was causing her so much pain and discomfort she was constantly screaming at it and walking weird and she couldn't reach it herself. it had been going on for five minutes, so i got her to fly and it fell out.it obviously broke and there is a bit of blood at the end. im just glad she is not in pain anymore. here is a picture of the feather now and when it was still on her.

I'm glad she feels better. All my birds are going through big molts right now too.

Poor baby! Glad it's out now, and hopefully no future problems.
