Budgie clearly sick and eating paper??? Jul 7, 2020 14:51:39 GMT

This morning I woke up to Puff (white budgie) sleeping on the floor all puffy. I know these are signs of a sick budgie, we are looking into getting a vet asap. We've since separated her from her partner in a warm little box with easy access to food and water and we noticed that she's eating the newspaper bottom. Ive since also blocked those edges with a blanket but I wanted to know if anyone's had experience with this before? I know budgies like to chew but I haven't seen her spit any paper back out. Now she's trying to eat the blanket. We tried getting her to chew on her food instead but she actively avoids it. Any help?

We shelled out all our wallets for her but sadly it wasn't enough. We just got the call telling us she passed away at the hospital. Thank you all for your best wishes.
