You don't need to worry when your keet drops its longest tail feathers. Remember, they have to drop and replace all their feathers periodically (not all at once, of course), and that includes the tail.

Even if she lost it to being pulled out instead of falling out because of normal moulting, it's still okay as long as she didn't bleed or anything.

You should see new long tail feathers growing in a couple or a few weeks.
