I tried taking Esme out of her terrarium today, placed her in a container with damp (dechlorinated) paper towels, and tried the credit card force feed. She has absolute lockjaw, wouldn't open that mouth of hers at all. She kept turning away from me. Although, I have to say, after that, she looks more alert than she has in a long while (over a month) She seems quite lethargic lately.. and I don't just mean staying buried, but eyes aren't always open either. Sometimes she literally looks dead! I don't know what I did wrong with the force feeding, but she still hasn't eaten and now it's been a whole month. I noticed she looks like she's shedding and she's kind of hard on her back near her rear. I'm not sure what that means but I took some photos in the hopes that someone can help me. I am really attached to Esme now and I don't want her to die
I just adopted another bird and I have been wondering if the Cockatoo noise is too much for her? There's really nowhere in the house I can put her that would be completely immune from that though?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
