Hello! My tiel while preening will make little hurt squeaks and then she will come up with a knot of down feathers in her beak. Usually there is a scabby/flaky grey bit attached. Is this dry skin flaking? She's not plucking at all. Just pulling out these little bits a few times a day.
If the feather is loose because it's being molted it shouldn't make her squeak in pain. I would at least be suspicious that she is plucking. My gcc plucks downy feathers under her wings on her back
