Parrot cut a blood feather. What to do for a quiet, not eating bird?

Question

Hi, Yesterday we were clipping my parrots wings when we cut a blood feather. I wasn't aware of a blood feather was and I googled it. There was no serious bleeding just a hand full of blood but after a few hours we remove it with plyers. He hasn't been eating anything apples but do and is very quiet when we're in my room. He frequently talks and says hello and gives kisses. He's a Amazon bird . We're planing on carrying him to the vet on Friday when my parents don't have to work. What should do?

Thanks for reaching out about Kai and including photos. Typically birds deal with broken blood feathers and blood loss pretty well. Allowing to re-hydrate by offering water-rich vegetables and some fruit, and providing proper diet to replaced lost nutritions, is usually sufficient. If still recovering after a few days, something else is probably occurring. Besides a physical exam, a review of diet and husbandry practices is important.
