Hello! I have two cockatiels. One is probably about 2 and half years old and the other only a few months.
My older tiel wasn't tamed (sold to me as a "breeder" hen when she was 6 months old) even in the slightest when I first got her. She is now pretty used to me and let's me hold her and groom her a little.
Anyways, because she is so timid and doesn't like to be handled, I never really noticed until today that her back inside toes on both feet look extremely deformed and lay sideways. Or maybe her toenails are deformed. I don't think she even uses those toes honestly.
Btw, she has no issues climbing/perching/landing(for the most part) so I don't think cause her any pain.
I just want to get other's input in case anyone seen something similar before
I have 3 images of her feet and the last picture is of my younger male's toes for comparison to show just how abnormal her back toes look.
