My bird is sick, shivering, and tail down after laying an egg. Is she egg bound?

Question

My bird is sick. She is closing her eyes for a long time. She is shivering. Her tail is downward. She laid an egg yesterday and the yolk came out first out of her so I was wondering if I should be worried? Pet's info: Bird | Unknown - Bird | Female | unspayed | 1lb

She could have another egg stuck in her, it's very common in birds and it is called being egg bound, you will need to take her to an avian vet specialist urgently otherwise she is not likely to survive.
