It is possible Princess ingested part of the bird which is causing GI upset, or some other illness. If she continues to act ill, keeps vomiting, or shows other signs of illness it would be best to bring her to a vet as birds can carry diseases and other parasites which may cause illness, and ingesting bones or other bird parts may cause GI upset or obstructions.
