This may be due to trauma, infection or a nutritional deficiency. You will need to have Chi Chi examined by your veterinarian or a vet experienced in treating birds to diagnose the underlying cause. Supportive care (subcutaneous fluids, syringe feeding, etc) may be necessary until she can raise her head and perch normally.
