My parakeet broke a blood feather today and I was unable to help him other than pull it and try using stuff to stop the bleeding (i couldnt find flour..)
and I realized that I dont think I can handle taking care of him.
I couldnt towel him, or pull the tip of the feather out, and he bled a lot..
:( I feel really bad, I've had him for two weeks but I just cant handle such a tiny bird.

It's okay, you only had him for 2 weeks. He probely wasn't used enough to you to be towled. Somthing like this always happens with a pet , you wonder " am I cut out for this ? " they're just like baby's , you'll have your moments.I would reccomend to take him to the vet just for a check up for the bleeding. I would only consider rehoming a bird if it got extremely out of control, like nonstop biting , screaming and if it turned your life upside down.Just give him lots of warmth and keep a close eye on him in case bleeding starts again.

Birdlover11 has given you some great advise
Just take it one day at a time, things will improve.
It's exactly the same with human babies, you live and learn
