She won’t tuck it in like they normally do. She tucks the other side. I picked her up and can’t find any injuries, and she seems to be acting okay other than not tucking in her wing. ??? See pic.

I'm not seeing an issue? What are you referring to?
That long feather. Those long wing feathers are usually tucked up under the wings. She can’t seem to tuck it… or won’t. She has them tucked on her other side. It’s been like that for days. I don’t want to not help her if it’s injured.
 
See if you can get a pic of her from head on so we can see it sticking out, and compare to the other side. I see what you're talking about. Has it always been like this, or is this something new? When did you notice it?

I can’t take another pic right now, but this is a fairly new thing. I first noticed it probably 10 to 12 days ago. I didn’t think much of it at the time because she seemed to act fine, but I’m becoming concerned because now it’s been like that for a while. I think one of those long wing feathers might even be missing. Could it be that she lost one of those long feathers and it’s hurting the skin/follicle where it pulled out? I guess she’ll be alright being that she acts okay otherwise. I just feel bad for her if something is wrong and I don’t try to help her.
