Thanks for reaching out about Pearl. It does sound as if she is very sick and a veterinary visit is recommended today. Once birds show signs of illness, they are fairly debilitated. Whether she is dying or not should be determined by a veterinarian, but depending on the cause, many things are treatable. Good luck.
