My cockatiel accepted scritches form me again today after his long moult, but I felt something solid in his crest which he didn't like me touching for too long. Is there any ideas as to what this could be and how to get it out?

Any chance it’s a feather sheath? That is, a new feather that hasn’t lost the hard keratin coating yet.

It’s too big tho be one of those

Could you provide a picture?

You can't see it, which is why i'm quite confused
I've never felt it before this.

I managed to get a short video win which you can kind of see the thing, it’s a bit darker than the rest of the crest
