I have a 1 year old pearl female cockatiel. A minor earthquake happened and my bird was startled. I wasn't there when it happened, but I noticed 2 blood feathers had been broken (1 on each wing). I have never dealt with a bird health emergency, so we did not have much success in towelling her to apply cornstarch. We noticed that the bleeding stopped very quickly, so we don't think there is a need to apply pressure or add cornstarch. I don't think pulling the feather is necessary, and I am not experienced enough to do so. Should I let the feather clot on its own, or should I go to the vet? My bird is behaving perfectly fine and acting normal, but I am still worried for her health.
