Thank you for using PetCoach. Respiratory distress in a bird is an emergency situation. I recommend taking her to an avian veterinarian asap. Keep her in s a warm, draft free, area and limit stress and handling as much as possible until you get her to see the vet. If you do not know of an avian veterinarian, www.aav.org may help you find someone in your area.
