I was playing with her and she went to preen herself and a split second later her tail feather came out! I don’t know if this is a plucked feather or not. Please help! (She looks so bald without her tail feather wah) She has already molted in April - May this year so I’m not sure if this is supposed to happen….

edit: I said preened and not molted

I’d say it’s naturally fallen out.
Did your bird only have this one tail feather?

She previously lost a tail feather in her molt earlier, and I think there is new one growing.

So she’s lost the two longest tail feathers?
