Well, if she`s gonna break it, the tip is a great place. Use some sharp scissors and cut the feathers, then bandage it up. You might insert a couple popsicle sticks, or something similar as a splint. Make sure to use tape that can be removed in about 3 weeks. The feathers won`t grow back until she molts next fall. Merry Christmas........Pop

From this question I would guess that you are better off just letting the wing tip heal on it`s own with no bandage or splint. It should be fine in a few weeks.......Pop
