Hi everyone,
I have this babe Quaker, I’ve got him when he was 29 days old and now he’s about 38 days. He’s eating well with hand feeding formula (EXACT). His weight is 97 grams
I recently noticed there are some areas in his feather that have horizontal black lines, it (looks like a scratch) and I don’t know what is it since this is my first time I have a quaker parrot (I had a lovebird before).
Is there any possibility that it could be a serious thing ?

I appreciate ur help, thanks

Those are stress bars - they occur when something happens to the bird during feather development - usually stress related (like removing them from the nest) or nutrition related (not getting enough nutrients for proper development).
