Trouble Breathing! Help me please! :)

If not even fluids are passing through, then I think she's pretty ill. The two most likely possibilities are a reproductive problem (cancer, infection, internal laying etc.), or she did eat something she shouldn't have and it's impacted the gizzard. I wasn't able to zoom in on the original pictures of the rubbery contents of her crop, but now wonder if maybe rather than rubber that was infectious material. If something caused a puncture in the gizzard, infection would follow. Reproductive problems will often slow or stop digestion as well, the bodies last ditch effort to conserve energy. It is often very hard to figure out what's going on inside until necropsy. If nothing is passing, then continuing to give her stuff is just going to let it sit in the crop and sour
Yes, I'm seeing if there is a way I can put her down. I don't have any vets in my area.
She is very very weak.
 
No, it won't. Put the blades a the base of the head right where the neck starts. If you put the bird upside down in a cone, the neck will stretch out. I use a large vinegar or bleach jug, cut off the bottom, cut off the top just enough to make space for the head to come through, I hang it from a rafter in my barn over a bucket filled with straw or old hay. The only damage is to the neck, internal organs, inside the beak and head will all still be intact and fine. As long as your loppers are sharp, one quick squeeze and it's done. Nerves may cause the bird to kick for a bit, but it's gone. I just walk away for a few minutes.
