Where do you live? Kinda hard to help you locate a vet without a city and state.

Is she definitely female? How old? Is everything else about her normal?

What's her diet? Any dietary indiscretions with all the holiday foods around.

Any new toys? Any parts missing or what kind of dye was used?

We can help you narrow things down but we can't tell you what the problem is or how to fix it (medically speaking). Best bet is to get her to a vet.

Yes, what she said. If you post your general location there are some sites to help locate an avian vet for you.

Here are some links on my site to find you a vet
The Grey Roost

you will see in the quick links area you can choose from the 2008 list of ABVP vets and then the next link will be for AAV vets.
good luck.
