It's possible Mitthoo was injured or became ill from something while outside. It is generally not a good idea to let birds roam free outside if they are domesticated, as they may become ill from other wild birds, spread illness to wild birds, or become injured. Since she is acting unwell, it would be best to bring her to a vet for care and to rule out issues such as parasites, injuries, illness, etc that could be causing her symptoms.
