Hi guys today when i was cleaning my cockatiel's cage i found a feather... first i was happy cuz i thought ''it's going throught the first molt so soon i'll know if it is a male or a female'' but when i took a closer look at the feather i saw some blood at the end of it !!!!! is it normal or my bird has a problem...take a look at the photo:

I don't think I've ever seen blood on any feathers. It's possible the bird pulled it out, or it may have gotten caught on something.

Just keep your eye out for more, but one isn't really something to worry about I don't think.

I agree with Audrey. Just keep an eye out for more, one would not worry me.
