Thanks for reaching out about Angel and including photos. Birds with their heads tucked are often weak and sick. Providing supplemental heat in the 80-85 F range can give comfort. Placing a thick towel on bottom of cage and removing perches will conserve energy. She probably needs to see a veterinarian soon, as birds are great at masking illness, and once start showing signs, are fairly sick. Good luck.
