If someone is pigeon-toed, the feet turn in towards each other when they stand or walk, so the toes point a little inward. It is about the direction of the feet, not about being a bird, and not about being clumsy — plenty of children walk this way for a while and later walk straight. The opposite picture is feet that turn out. The word is ordinary and a bit old-fashioned; a doctor might say the feet are in-toeing instead. People use it kindly as a description, but it can still sting if you say it as if the person cannot help looking funny.
