I'm sorry, but you cannot post in the 911 section that you think your bird is dying and not have people say to take her to the vet ASAP! I hate to assume, but from reading this thread and seeing over and over again that she doesn't drive, I am thinking Alex is a teenager. Which means she can't possibly have that many bills. So, if I were her, taking my bird to the vet would come before going to work. Heck, I am a grown woman and taking my bird to the vet would come before any job. But, I do have the luxury of having a husband who makes decent money, and I know that is not possible for everyone to have support like that.
