Hello Mike, use a photo editor such a Paint in windows under your accessories category under all programs. Re-size it to no larger than 500x500 pixels and it will upload for you.

 

Most all Greys and other Parrots are staring or have already started a molt for this season. Unless you notice that the feather has bee chewed in half and does not have it's semi-pointed end on it, then it is probably just a normal molt process taking place.

 

But, a picture does say a thousand words. :-)
