So had bambi at the vets to see about her wing. The vet doesn't think it's broken but it might be dislocated. But because it's been like that for a few months they won't be able to do anything with it. She said she wasn't in any pain so I can either pay nearly £350 for an x ray (high risk of her dying) or leave her as she is since she still eats, drinks and plays with her toys. She just won't be able to fly again

I thought it was a recent injury?
I'm sure she must have been in some sort of pain when she initially dislocated it.

I thought it was a recent injury as well, which is why I urged a vet visit asap. Poor little thing; that must have been painful at the time.

Then slowly over time she started to hold it away from her body and would stretch it out. She has never done anything to dislocate it. And I honestly don't think it is. And the vet I saw (the closest one to me I can get to walking) isn't a bird specialist |

The symptoms developed slowly over the few months after she went through a bad moult. I thought it might have been a feather cyst but the vet never mentioned that.

Don’t know the answer then; you would know if it was a feather cyst - you would be able to see that there was a problem.

You say that she couldn't have dislocated it, but could she have had a night fright?
