Lol, I don't think the vet did anything to intentionally hurt Boomer. Poor boy just got scared and things got dicey. That vet most likely saved his life recently, it's just shocking to see all the feathers (they're so pretty!). It reminds me of the way lizards will lose their tail while trying to get away. It's a reminder if the reptile past of birds...quite a neat way to evade predators. A cat trying to grab a parrot would end up with a face full of feathers looking stupid if that happened, so it could be a valuable trait under the proper circumstances. That poor little guy! Hopefully he's done with the vet for a while. He's going to have a pin-cushion butt as that grows out.
