Found Feather

[Harly_Guy]

I found this on the ground where my Blue Gold Macaw had been. I believe it to be a blood feather that came completely out, but not sure and never had this before. Has anyone seen this before? Should I be worried? He is not bleeding and not sure where it came out. I have attached it to this message.

I appreciate any help.

You are correct that it's a blood feather. Is your macaw a plucker/mutilator?

It's a blood feather, and it looks bent/damaged at the base. If a blood feather gets damaged like that the bird will usually pluck it out himself and start over. Unless you keep seeing more pop up I wouldn't worry. He probably knocked it somewhere, it was sore and bothering him, so he removed it. Perfectly normal.
