Default stiff feathers on Winkie's head

winkie's feathers right around his cere are stiffer than the others just a little bit further back. is this normal?

Can you elaborate? Are they little nare hairs or is it possible that he may have had nasal discharge that hardened?

ok, when you put your finger above Winkie's nare where the feathers really start growing; the feathers right there are stiffer than the feathers that are closer to his neck.

his feathers look normal & there are no pin feathers on his head. unfortunately, i can't figure out how to upload pictures to here. my brother has a camera, but we have dial up. i don't think the feather thing is anything serious, he's had it for a while.
