I highly recommend taking her to the vet as soon as possible. She might be having some intestinal distress, or some reproductive problem that is very serious. Be warned that birds become critically ill in only a very short period of time. For example, should she stop perching and sit on the bottom of her cage, you have an emergency on your hands. LW
