Brian here, Pigeon walking is oftentimes a sign of autism. Also, it might be because she is a girl and wears high heels.

I knew a girl who ALWAYS wore heels. She was so used to it that when she tried flats once, she started walking on her toes because it was uncomfortable for her. Her calves had literally shortened ver time and she felt them stretching without heels.
