Hello ... I have a 3-year-old Jenday conure, Jupe. Aside from a scare with some iron shavings in a batch of birdseed back in '06, he's had no health problems at all.

However, recently, one of his primary wing feathers has started to grow back in upside down (colored side facing in), and I'm not sure what I should do about this, if anything. I tried Googling it, and saw it referred to in one place as a "squint feather", but I can't find any actual references as to what I should do about it. Our closest bird vet is an hour and a half away ... so if there is anything I can do about this, personally, I'd love to know.

Thanks for any help you might be able to offer!
