Amazon orange wing

I noticed Molly has slept all day today and not wanting to leave her cage. It hasn't happened before and she hasn't touched her food either.
I rescued her 2 years ago and she's about 17.
Can anyone give me advise please
 
Any fluffed up appearance? Any tail bobbing?
Not eating and drinking is a worry
 
Welcome from me too. As mentioned maybe avian vet visit is best.
 
Thank you for your advise. Unfortunately everywhere is closed now so fingers crossed she gets better throughout the night. I just feel so helpless
 
Keep her warm (so that her body doesn't have to also work to do that) until the morning when you can contact the vet. Can you offer her some fruit maybe for moisture? Or would she drink water if you offered it? Otherwise I'd leave her to sleep. Sending healing vibes to her.

She's a bit better today and has had a long drink. Still not eaten and sat in same spot. Her droppings are still runny. Her eyes are open today so I'm hoping she's on the mend.

Glad to hear she seems better, but I personally would still honestly get her an avian vets appointment ASAP to double check, especially if she was as bad as you described. If a birds shows weakness it can mean that there is a bigger problem than you think, they could help her get better quicker, or help any pain she might be in. Personally I would think better safe than sorry, then if it turns out to be nothing at least you covered your bases. Obviously I can't see your bird and am not a vet, but that's from personal experience and reading the experiences of others too. I always err on the side of caution but ultimately you know her and her behaviours best.
