Weird tail feather growth

[Zeeby]

my conure has been having some weird feather growth since i got him, his feathers have been growing kinda crooked and one of his blood feathers broke at the base but didn't bleed and kept growing. the part that broke fell off and the rest of the feather grew to normal size. im not sure if this is normal or what. he also has a blood feather right now that seems to be really sensitive and hasn't grown or changed at all for the past week. it is crooked and i think it's broken but there is no blood and i don't want to accidentally hurt him trying to check. i want to take him to the vet but i don't think my mom will let me unless i can make her realize that we need to. he is barely a year old and i want to do anything i can to help him. he is on a seed and pellet diet atm but im getting him onto a chop diet. im not sure if the problem is just malnutrition or if it is something else.



edit: ill try to get some pics of the feather in the morning, he is asleep rn

Sounds somewhat concerning, a pic would def help though

Young Companion Parrots and Tail Feathers have been a long and known problem as the tail feathers, whether old, middle age and new come in contact with near everything and they become broken or damaged is a reality. Within another year or two, your young Parrot will be more aware of the location of their tail feathers and you will see much less tail feather issues.
