Thanks for reaching out about Febe. It sounds as if she is fairly ill and in need of a veterinary visit to assess and provide a diagnostic/treatment plan. Providing heat support in the 80-85 F range can give some aid. Remove perches and give a soft towel on which to rest. Try offering water and a liquid food through a syringe for calories and hydrate. Being ill can have multiple causes such as infections (bacterial, fungal), metabolic disorders (liver, kidney), heart problems, nutritional deficiencies and more. See a veterinarian as soon as possible. Good luck.
