Is it possible for a budgies to break a bood feather internally and if so what do we do for that ?
I have a budgie that cant fly well when wet and she fell from about 1-1 1/2 ft and now has some bleeding in her feather shafts and it doesnt appear to be external but i dont know what to do about it

I wouldn't worry. As long as it's not bleeding externally, she should be okay. As soon as it starts bleeding externally, you might have to pluck it.

You'll need to remove it if it's broken, then apply something like cornflour to stop it from bleeding. Alternatively you can let your avian vet do it.

If there is very little bleeding, just add some flour(cornflour works best, but others are ok as long as it's very fine).
