When I returned home to my Caique today I noticed his tail feathers were unusually ruffled and damaged, as seen in the first picture. It kind of seems like the tips are damaged. This might've been the case for longer and I just didn't notice, but when looking at images from a couple of days ago his tail looks a lot neater (see second image).
When preening he doesn't seem to specifically target or avoid his tail feathers, and in his behaviour I generally see nothing too out of the ordinary. But the damaged tail does sightly concern me. Is this reason to be concerned, or am I worrying over something trivial?
