Thanks everyone.
As of this morning, Pokey, was puffed up on the bottom of the flight, with the family hovering over her, all concern and caring.
I gave her some electrolyte mix, a drop of calcium, then fed her a bit of bird baby food. She ate a tiny bit (she feels a bit too thin to my liking).
She went back into the flight (reluctantly I must add, as she was quite happy sitting in my hand). She wiped her beak a few times, nibbled a bit of seed and allowed the family to check her over.
Just a few minutes ago, I watched her following her brothers around, begging to be fed. Amazingly enough, they actually fed her. After that, she had a drink of water, and is now back on the flight floor, puffed up and watching her surroundings.
I can't for the life of me figure what's going on with her.
Dylan, normally Pokey, is not hand tamed, although she has no fear of me. When I change papers in the flight, I have often had to nudge her off the papers (after she gets her ride on them as I pull the papers towards me). She has always been a bit of an oddball, which makes her all the more dear to me
.
I hope whatever is bothering her is nothing major, and that she pulls through.
Here's another picture from last night
