Sounds like she is egg bound. This may help her pass the
egg, get some olive oil and inject it into her cloaca, and
but only a little bit, and keep her warm. Birds will lose
lots of warmth when they are sick especially egg bound
females. I would suggest cracking the egg, but the crack
sharp parts of the egg may scratch her, and may cause
bacteria to settle. I would try calling a vet and see if
they know nay near by vets. She may not even be egg bound,
but sounds like she is. Hope she gets better
