I'm sorry Lyla isn't feeling well. Lethargy and puffed feathers are very nonspecific signs of illness in birds. But it clumsy be serious as birds don't show signs of illness easily. They try to hide thier illnesses as long as possible. It may be ideal to separate her from the other bird and give her a cage in a warm, quiet, draft free environment. Try to encourage her eating cooked eggs are a high nutrient food that may tempt her. But she probably needs a veterinarian as soon as possible to evaluate what is wrong. It could be anything from a viral infectio, fungal or bacterial cancer or any other illness. Good luck to Lyla.
