Thanks for reaching out about Rue and including a photo. Provide heat support in the 80-85 F range, for aid. Remove perches and place a soft towel on the bottom of the cage. Only provide small amounts of water to drink. This could be a crop infection (bacteria, fungal, yeast), obstruction, toxicity and more. See your veterinarian first thing in the morning to assess and provide a diagnostic/treatment plan.
Good luck.
