My macaw grows the same feather in the same place everytime. 2 vets have told me its a twisted feather and to watch she doesnt pick at it. They both pulled them out after the blood retracted. But it keeps coming back and it seems painful. My vet said he could preform perform surgery on this one but that it will keep growing back and continue its course. She doesn't play with it or take them out on her own. He said surgery is risky because of birds and their limited blood supply. Anyone know what this is or what else i could do? Also shes been fully plucked underneath her wings since i rescued her 10+ years ago. This feather thing is new in about the last 9 months.
