The pix are too small for me to see her legs and I can't open them larger. But, if she is splayed, there is nothing you can do now and, as long as she can fly and perch, it should be OK.

HI,

Obviously I'll get the AV to check. I think its just because she's small and young. She perches just fine and she can fly well despite her light clip. I've seen her drink and eat (eating very well!). She's quite tame, once she's out of the cage.

Tried to upload some bigger pics.

I'm not sure, personally I wouldn't as they do well on seeds, soaking mix and fresh veg/fruit. They get plenty of protein from there.

She makes the cutest noises!
