Why is my cockatiel's wing twitching and painful after clipping?

Question

Hello, so my cockatiel got clipped today and he is usually aggressive when he gets clipped so he was flapping his wings around and after the clip one of his wings kept going out and it was twitching alot, he is in pain from it but i cant see any issue, he is not bleeding or has any broken feathers, they said its nothing but after going home i could tell he is in pain alot, what is the best thing to do, what could it be? Pet's info: Bird | Cockatiel | Male | 1 year and 10 months old | 0.19 lbs

If there is no visible injury but Kody still seems agitated, giving him a chance to rest and relax by keeping his cage quiet and dark may help him to settle back in. I would keep an eye on him, and if he stays agitated or doesn't return to normal after 24 hours, have a vet take a look to make sure there isn't an injury or issue causing his distress.
