That's most probably the wing its sibling accidentally pulled during feeding, mistaking it for food (on 02.06.2026 at 19:26). It looked like a really strong pull. I wonder if the joint could have been dislocated or severely strained by that harsh tugging.
The chick is 32 days old now, and its wings are growing rapidly and getting much heavier. Even if it wasn't a full dislocation, the extra weight of the growing feathers must be putting a lot of strain on that injured joint. The chick is still very young, so hopefully, it will recover before fledging.
Let's hope the wing strengthens as the chick grows. Hopefully, it will heal well.
