With that long list of symptoms it's possible your bird isn't feeling well. It would be best to have her examined by a vet in your area to rule out issues such as parasites, infections, illnesses, etc that could be causing so many symptoms, especially if she seems listless or is constantly fluffed up. Moving her to a hospital cage that is kept warm and with easy access to food and water can help until you can get into your vet.
