Willow currently has two. They are still attached but barely. Is this common or a sign of a problem? Is there anything I should do or will it take card of itself?

I can't answer if it is due to a health issue or not, but all but ONE of my cockatiel's tail feathers have broken because she's so clumsy. Sarah also told me that baby feathers are much weaker than the adult ones. It could be that Willow's tail feathers are baby ones still?

I rearranged her cage a little so maybe she is just knocking into things because they are in a different place. She is also flying out of her cage a lot so maybe it's that. Do you just leave your cockatiels feathers alone?
