Answer
Hello Janet and thank you for your post.
There really is no advise that I can give you, except for to take the bird into a Certified avian or an Exotic animal Vet right away.
In the mean time, try to keep the bird calm and warm (a lamp with a low watt bulb is great for this).  Take the perches out of the cage, and the bottom grate if there is one to prevent the bird from tying to perch.  If you have a glass aquaruim or a box (preferrably made out of wood becaus quakers do like to chew and would chew through cardboard easily), put the bird in it with some soft towels at the bottom.  This will help to prevent the bird from trying to climb around.
Please let me know how your bird is doing.

Good luck and God Bless.
