Droopy wings after flight

After flying a pretty short distance back to her cage, maybe taking one or two wing flaps, my cockatiels wings are droopy.
Is this a cause for concern or something flight training will fix?

I'm not sure I understand. But if she is holding her wings away from her body she is warm and that will cool her down.
That will be better when she is used to fly. Take it slow in the beginning. And best is to stop before she gets to warm.
If this is her first time flying don't train every day, she will just like us get exercise pain in their muscles and will need to rebuild them to get strong.
Train every second day the first two weeks.

Agreed. When I started Rupert out, I did it every 3 days, and only for a short time. (only a couple of laps from one perch to another)
