Hello, I am sorry to hear about your bird! The symptoms that you are describing are often signs of sickness in birds. Birds can have various different diseases such as lung infections or GI problems. I would recommend having your bird seen by a veterinarian if possible. Until then please ensure that your bird is kept in a warm safe environment. You could try separating her from your other bird. Hope this helps, good luck!
