With parakeets the cere is blue in male and tan/brown in females. If you think a female, egg binding should be considered. In either, male or female, drier feces, tail bobbing could be respiratory but also intestinal. Decreased feces is possible to decreased food consumption. A veterinary visit is recommended. Good luck.
