My Budgie is sick?

She has her feathers all puffed up and she shivers alot. She's eating and drinking normaly (like a cow) but she seems really weak. I'm giving her extra birdie vitamins.... I'd just like to know how long a budgie cold lasts. >_>

If there are any signs of illness, you need to see an avian vet immediately. Birds try to hide any illness as best they can because in the wild birds that appear sick are preyed upon. Therefore, if a bird is showing signs of an illness that means it could be serious. And there is not a lot of time to waste when a bird is as small as a budgie.

Do her poops look normal (good separation, not watery)? Is she near a draft?

Take you bird to a vet today. There are no quick fixes for sick birds and yours sounds very sick. Please, call today. I'm gonna close this thread. There's no point in offering any more information than that. We are not vets.
