If someone in the house has been coughing lately, birds can learn to copy the sound. Or else my poor Alfie is dying of emphysema, judging from all the coughing noises he makes constantly! Check that the nostrils are clear and there is no mucous in them or the throat. If she is sitting hunched over and puffed up, or doesn't seem to be herself, take her to an avian vet asap.

Most likey mimicing a cough that was heard. Parrots cannot actually cough as they have no diaphram. However like stated above if there are any other signs of illness I would go to a vet as well.
