My little Jilli has a funny toe on one foot. It faces forward when it should face backwards, and it is a bit twisted. Im thinking she doesnt really even have much,if any, range of motion in that toe, or control over it. Wonder if it hurts her? I hope not. Should I take her to the vet to have it checked, or is this something that just sometimes happens with birds? Anyone ever experienced this before?

I didnt try to move it....too afraid of hurting her. :( She didnt want me to touch it, so I didnt push it. Should I try? Poor Jilli.....

I wouldn't push now...just watch her and see how she works with it...It's not swollen or anything like that...give her time to trust you and let you play with her feet...:hug8:
