Somethibg wrong with my cockatiel's wing?

Hello all it's me again.

I found my 3-month old cockatiel's wing was a little weird today. It seemed like one of her wing (on the left), the underneath feather dropped a bit and I could see that it's like a little broken and a little messy in the end of the wing feather. I think she might got stuck in the cage somewhere. She seems okay - playing and eating as usual. I wonder if that will fix by itself?

Update:

I need to make it clear that:

By underneath feather, I meant her wing's feather inside fell down a bit, and I could see her inside feather was a little broken and messy in the feather end. She's not bleeding tho I think that's a good sign :)

    hey there,

    dont worry at all...... she will be alrigt. birds wings and feathers are like human hairs. they keep growing..... replacing the old ones.... just makesure she is not bleeding. cause if she is bleeding, then its time 4 u to take her to some veteran.

    wishing your cockatiel fast recovery.

    notwithstanding i won't be able to offer you a diagnosis on something, i think of that your cockatiel's wing began therapeutic incorrectly. The bones could have fused on the incorrect spot and at the instant are inflicting the lump on her wing. i might get her to a vet ASAP so as that they are able to repair this till now it incredibly is too late! sturdy success!
