Clumped Feathers

[Alishamedicalbiller]

Came back from vacation to one of my darlings having clumped feathers on their chest. Searched online and didn't find an exact reasoning for this, there's no parasites that I can see, no tissue damage, and no odors...

I can't tell exactly what's going on. Is she missing feathers or is she just rumpled up?
If her feathers feel coarse in that area she may have gotten wet or dirty somehow. Either way, it's unlikely to be something to worry about.

Looks like when mine get wet and they dry in a weird position due to how they lay or other. I could be wrong, but looks pretty normal.

Where is this located on the body?
Can you spread the feathers back some more and take a closer look to see if there's debris, stuck on poop or scabs under the feathers? Hard to tell.

Most likely she's just gotten dirty.
