My green cheek had a broken blood feather on his outer most primary flight feather which I pulled and looked as though the second one was bleeding as well. It turns out that only the first one was actually bleeding, but both were pulled. The non-broken, but now pulled blood feather had a blood vessel fully exposed and hanging. I coaxed it into the skin, but don't know if I need to do anything else or if he'll be ok. I could not find any information on this. Also, is he going to be afraid of me after going through this?
 
Wow, I've never had any experience with this, but I would defiantly take him to the vet as soon as possible! I hope hes alright!
 
If you see exposed tissue, then I agree, take your bird to an avian vet. It is possible for an infection to become a real issue in the future, so be safe and let a vet handle it.
 
Above members are correct a visit to the vet us a must, I would rather be safe than sorry
