My bird is acting strange she eats in very quick flies to her water and sits over it and poops then splashes and makes a mess then she gets out and puts a foot on one toy while the other is on another toy she stands there for a long time and then falls.

Thanks for reaching out about Verde and including photos. Getting ready to lay an egg can change behavior. Can't tell by the first photo if the beak is elongated. Concerns would be about the falling. Heavy metal toxicity (zinc, lead), low calcium levels, other malnutritions could all be causes. A veterinary visit is recommended for diagnostics and a treatment plan. Good luck.
