I'm not sure what you mean when you say the feathers (remiges) "crack" when he tries to fly?? The only thing I can think of for "cracking" would be that he has a broken or abnormal feather or bone in that left wing. Closing the eyes all the time is not normal either. He may be doing that due to pain. My suggestion is to get him to a vet that is used to treating birds to see if they can figure out what is going on. Hope this helps. Best wishes.
