Thanks for reaching out about Buddy and including photos. This is evident of trauma, could this bird be getting scared in the cage and flying/hitting the cage bars? Decreasing stress will hopefully allow to calm down. If suspect injury or appears painful, a veterinary visit is recommended.
Good luck.

    Thanks for reaching out about Miki and including photos. The wing lesion is likely due to trauma while flapping the wings. When they get scared, the commonly fly into the bars resulting in injuries. Monitor the wound for now, don't think this required veterinary attention, yet.
    Good luck.
