Peach Fronted Conures small tail feather is broke!?

What do I do? It is snapped halfway down it so the feather sticks out farther sideways then the rest. Do I just leave it or do I pull it out?

Just clip the feather on the break. If you leave it it will continue to split and will cause more pain to the bird.





DON'T PULL IT! You will stress your bird out, and there is also a chance that you break the feather further and cause massive bleeding.
Reply:If it is a blood filled feather it must be pulled out, BUT this is a task for one experienced only! If you ask this question I think only a avian vet should pull it.





If the feather is not a blood feather and not bleeding, then towel the bird and cut across the break, then leave the feather alone it will drop out when the new feather grows in and pushes it out.
