Rosie is probably very ill, but unfortunately i couldn't tell you what is wrong based on these very general symptoms, which is often the case with birds you will need to take her to an avian vet where a blood test and faecal exam will be done to determine what is the cause of the disease before it can be treated. i would not recommend taking her to a vet that is not an avian specialist, they are not likely to be able to help and will probably end up referring you anyway, try to look on the internet where is the closest avian vet specialist and give them a call, they will tell you to bring her as soon as you can.
