Does this look like a blood feather?

I have a one month old budgie named Blueberry, yesterday my sister let him out and he was flying and hit into a corner of a canvas. He fell on the couch (not a big fall) but was standing. Then my sister told him to step up and examined him and saw a little feather by his wing is bleeding and underneath. We’re not sure if it’s a blood feather or something wrong. I put some cornstarch on after and this morning he is fine, even flew a little and chirps happily w my other 7 month old budgie Honey! Here is an few pictures. Does it seem like it’s something that needs to be looked at by a vet or is it just a blood feather? If it’s a blood feather how can we deal with it? It’s our first time having budgies. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Blessed.

Saved these precious budgies on Sunday. I have gained their trust, they let me hold them, and they love to go on my arm. I also leave the cage open because I don't want them to feel trapped.

I adore them, I'm so thankful for them. Also don't worry, I have bought a much bigger cage, and more things for them to play with. So so happy.

My husband's is the lighter one and mine is the big fatty named Kevin. His favorite thing is to sit in the food bowl. Still don't have another name for the girly.

Naming help 😊

Please help me name the first bird pictured! He’s so baby and interacts less with the others, so his personality is hardest to figure out.

His flock mate’s names are Pteri, Chiquito, and Delilah (she also goes by Perrie), pictured in order.

The last two pictures are strictly for your viewing pleasure as they are a very beautiful flock, indeed.
