My cockatiel has a patch of pin feathers on her head and when I touched one it just came out. She's not bleeding but I've also never heard of this happening

If there's a whole patch of them, maybe they're irritating her a bit and she might have scratched at them or rubbed them against a perch and loosened it and it fell out?
