Has she eaten any contaminated water or food? Any history on the bird? Any other symptoms?

Whoa...

Any other symptoms? That looks really painful. Hopefully some experts will be able to help! Praying she gets better!

How long has her tongue been like this?

Is her lower beak broken/cracked, too? Maybe it’s an injury. Poor thing. Can you see her throat? You might need to tube feed her, but I’ve not sure how that would work with an injured mouth.

No other symptoms she's still vocal

It doesn't seem to be broken. I've been watering her from a spoon and she can still drink. Do I need to get a liquid feed for her?
