Some folks crop/tube feed sick birds. The article may be helpful.

Painted Calls posted a video of how she tube feeds, it's here:

And lastly, there's Torpedo Feeding - tutorial and video is in this thread.

But, you may be able to entice her to eat wet soupy feed on her own.
If she's really weak, then extra protein may help - bits of egg, sardines, etc. are sometimes interesting.

At this point, she's not interested in eating at all no matter what I have in front of her. She is mainly sitting with her eyes closed a majority of the time. Her crop again seems have liquid in it since morning.

Might try torpedo feeding if I can help her empty her crop. She still perks up if she hears a strange noise so she still has some fight left in her.

The crop filling up with fluid sounds like she may have a blockage. Is pooping anything out?
You can try giving a flush to see if that helps. 1tsp Molasses to 1/4cup warm water. Have her drink it all down. This acts as a laxative which may help push out any material that's blocking the digestive system.

If she's having reproductive problems, then she may have inflammation in the body which is just prohibiting the systems to function properly.
At this point, she may benefit from an antibiotic to see if it will pull her through, but sometimes no matter what you do, they continue to decline.

She is able to poop things out as long as she eats something. The last poop I saw from her was dark-green-and-white and it could somewhat retain its form like a thick yogurt.

I will have to get my hands on molasses, but I can try antibiotics in the meantime and see if that does anything. I might also try giving her turmeric for inflammation.

I feel like I've tried so many things and it really does seem like she declines no matter what I do. It's heartbreaking, but I'm just taking this at a day-by-day basis at this point.
