Foot problem

Had a long day at work and once I got home I picked up my cockatiel and I realized she is not flexing the toes on her right foot to grab like she does with her left foot, her toes remain relaxed and when standing still she tries to avoid stepping on that foot and stays standing on her left only, when walking it is visible something is not right.
Looking at her foot there are no signs of any injuries but it somehow looks little dry with more white on it.
Any idea what could cause this or what the treatment should be?
Note: sometimes when landing on her cage she makes a somewhat rough landing that doesn't look very good for her feet, could that be what caused this?
Any help is appreciated

Can you take a photo and post that? There can be varying causes and they best thing to do might be to take her to the vet. If this just happened she might have a minor injury that could get better on its own. Do monitor and consider taking her to the vet. Hope all will be well.

It’s really hard to say, how old is she? This came on suddenly then?

Woke up today in the morning and took this, it seems she is already doing better. by the way how long should I wait if it doesn't fully heal before going to vet?

This reminds me of @Cockatielier s bird Bertie. Maybe she can offer some advice?

Although realistically, you should head to the vet.
