I've never seen her like this.  I uncovered her cage and she was all hunched
over and totally fluffed up like a bird does when it is sick.  She blinked
at me but didn't really respond much.  Birds are like cats in that they hide
illness well.

I have some Ornacycline (bird antibiotic, like amoxicillan to us humans) so
I dissolved a tablet in water and got her out of the cage.  She bit the crap
out of me and escaped my hand (it's funny to watch a small parrot who
doesn't know how to fly run across the carpet).  I scooped her up (she
resigned and gave in without biting) and gave her a teeny bird-dropper full
of the ornacycline (which she drank like it was water).  Put her back in the
cage.  It's only been 30 minutes but I think she's feeling better.  She's
standing up straight and has started pulling at her toys and chirping a bit.

Her avian vet is open so if I have to I can rush her over there.  Hopefully
I won't have to.  No idea what might have caused her to be looking and
feeling so punky.  The only thing I can think is I bought her an apple
yesterday.  I washed it off well before cutting a slice for her but maybe
she ingested a small amount of some pesticide?  I threw the rest of the
apple away.  I'll keep an eye on her for the next couple of hours and rush
her to the vet if necessary.  Bird purrs requested.
