Do you have a local vet? If she continues in that manner I would take her to the vet. I'm sure others with more experience will help you but good luck!

If you have a good avian vet in your area, I would have him/her look at your bird. However, if not, the best thing you can do is keep your bird quiet, make sure she drinks, and get her to eat. See if she'll eat mealworms, scrambled eggs, applesauce, or moistened layer feed. If necessary, dissolve some feed in water and spoon feed it to her. Tube feeding is another option. Perhaps put some probiotics and vitamins/electrolytes into her water, if you have any.
