This morning I had snick on my shoulders while preparing breakfast for myself and since he gets a little too curious about what I'm eating and tries to take a bite from it even if its not healthy for him. I was reaching for him to put him into his cage and he went to my back where its harder to reach him. I always gently put my hand around him and he lifts his legs up and puts them onto my hand but this time he suddenly moved before I closed my hand and ended up holding his feathers then he suddenly flew. This lead to a few feathers coming off and I was surprised how it happened because I was barely using any force at all as I could've swore the feathers could've easily just slipped out instead. Snick made a small sound and flew to my shoulder and surprisingly he kept grinding his beak a few times before preening his tail. Right away I checked if there's any bleeding at all but there wasn't. I then checked his feathers that came off and they all seemed to be empty with no blood flowing in them. I even wiped my finger at the edge of them all to see if there was any blood but there wasn't any at all. I kept watching him very closely ready to take him to the hospital the moment I see a drop of blood but after an hour all what happened was that he did some preening and kept grinding his beak. I've already made an appointment with the vet but I think that since he's recently started molting again I was lucky and happened to be holding dead feathers that were already close to coming off. Here's a video of him I happened to take the day before and a picture of him later that day at night. He seems to be well without any injuries so far but will still take him to the vet anyways.
