How can I tell if my irn has a broken wing?

My bird has her wings clipped, but keeps on jumping (far distances) off the top of her cage... She lands smoothly, but sometimes i notice she hits her right wing on the way down... sometimes, i notice the wing is lifted a little, which seems kinda weird to me, but maybe its my paranoia.... I am taking her back to the breeder to have her nails and wings re-clipped this weekend, so I will see if he can check her out... however, until then, has anyone had experience with a broken wing (symptoms/behaviors/characteristics)?

My irn has the same problem with her wing. What did the vet tell you? I don't think it's broken as she stretches both wings. I just think it's growing out with feathers underneath.
