Question about overgrooming?

[SarahP2010]

Hi guys, I'm just curious about something I noticed on my green cheek conure and wanted a few opinions. Some of the feathers around the upper part of her wings are looking a little ratty and not complete and some of them look like they have little bits of black around some of the edges. I think the best way to describe it is it almost looks like they were burned at the edges, similar to how paper would look if you burned it. I'm doing some research now and the closest match in description that I can find to what I'm seeing is that it's either overgrooming or stress feathers from her last molt. She's in really good health otherwise so I'm not too concerned just now but wanted to know if anyone else has experienced this or knows what it is in case I should get her into a vet. Thank you!

The best thing to do to get the most helpful reply would be to post a picture of her highlighting the areas you are talking about.

Here are the best pictures I could get. Hopefully they give a good look at what's going on.
