Welcome to the forum! This is the season that parrots are molting (losing some feathers and growing new ones). They tend to be itchy and don’t feel 100 %. If you are concerned, you should always follow up with an avian vet. Don’t wait too long because birds hide their illnesses.
Hope Tweety feels better.

Gracie is always sleepy a day or so before her molt and a few days into it. She perks back up long before it's over, though, thankfully. I second what Helena said.

Needs to go to the vet immediately. Birds can bleed to death this way. For now, stop the bleeding by putting flour or cornstarch on it.

Honestly just sounds like a broken blood feather -- from all the research I've done, this can be treated at home? That's what I've heard from vets, too. Of course it won't hurt to see a vet but to my knowledge they'll just pull it or stop the bleeding. The bleeding is something to be worried about, though. They can bleed to death. A longer feather like that is at risk of being reopened so pulling it is the most likely route of treatment.
