Warm fluids with maybe a little corn syrup should be tubed first, then again in 60-90 minutes, but only once she's warm enough. Sick birds are almost always hypothermic and tubing a hypothermic bird can kill it.

Okay, so she can hold her head up, so that makes her a good candidate for tubing fluids to. Try to get the 30ml into her and see how see does. If she does okay with it, and the fluids clears her crop, do it again in 30-60 minutes.

No doubt in my mind, she is *very* sick, and sick birds are almost always dehydrated.

That's a good sign! How about a picture of her standing and walking?
