No need to worry! The nails of a bird grow continuously, as they do with other animals. Overgrown nails can make perching difficult, as well as painful to owners who handle their birds frequently.To check for overgrown nails, place the bird’s feet on a flat surface. If the Nails are folding and making direct contact on the ground, then you must tell the vet or a breeder to trim the nails. I have attached a image for your understanding.👇

Well, that's odd she should be fine in about 2-3 days. If she isn't then keep me updated

You are right, now she feels better. She can walk well but she is a little slower than before.Turmeric and coconut oil helped a lot.I an pretty sure she will be fully recovered in 2 days
Nails are not a normal issue with overgrowth as cockatiels "manicure" their own nails naturally. That is the time when they touch your clothing, or anything cloth, and get a little "stuck" They get themselves out of this situation soon enough.
