Buford had a primary feather coming in out of line and looking strange. I watched it for a week and it didn't seem to be working itself out. I also noticed a large purple lump next to it and thought it might be an ingrown feather.
I took him to the vet today and the vet ended up removing two ingrown feathers each about an inch and a half long. Hopefully this will allow them to grow back in normally.
This was also Buford's first trip to the vet in his harness rather than in a carrier. He refused to sit on the perch I strapped into the seat. Instead, he chose to sit on my shoulder the whole trip. All in all he did pretty well.
