Those are general symptoms that Bibbie is not feeling well and may have an underlying illness. It would be best to seek veterinary care ASAP as this is a symptom of many possible issues and an exam is needed to help narrow down the cause. Until you can get to the vet, moving her to a warm hospital cage with easy access to food and water may help, however if she is completely listless seeking care is needed ASAP.

Hi and thank you for your question, This is not normal and may be serious. I recommend that you take Green to the vet ASAP. At home all you can do is keep her in a warm place, offer a bit of sugar-water to the beak and hope she gets better. Regards
