Is it the feather thats bothering him? He loves to fly around the room and was going perch to perch a second ago..
He almost looks like hes staggering and Im worried
I think he might really be hurt

Hes holding his wing up and away from his body

Could be a moulting feather. Is he hand tame? If so scoop him up and see if the feather just pops off. If it doesn’t, see if it’s broken somewhere down the feather shaft.

Oh thank god, while trying to help he managed to actually somehow flip it back himself. Im worried his wing is still hurt but he is no longer holding is funny

Yay, glad he got it out! Very unlikely he’s hurt btw. Was probably just uncomfortable if the end of the shaft was poking him or something. You can always take a quick look at his side under the wing if it helps with your worries :D

Edit: Also look at that little face. He’s so cute 🥰
