Hi. I'm not sure if you tried to upload a picture with this post but if so it didn't come through. If Berry is having the same normal activity and appetite as normal perhaps he just has some feathers molting or growing in differently or even broken feather can make thier wing look odd. If he is used to being handled gently look at his wings up close. If the entire wing is drooping and he can't hold it properly you may need to see an avian veterinarian to rule out a fracture or dislocation. If you have a Pict you can try posting again. Hope this helps.
