Too hot or something else?

It's been really hot today and it's way past time for the budgies to sleep. I normally cover them over but I'm worried about Nemo who is hunched sleeping but she's not puffy like when they normally sleep. Instead her feathers are quite tight on her body and she's been holding g her wings out. I assumed this meant she was hot (this was a few hours ago) and so only partially covered the cage and put a fan on low on them particularly Nemo but she hasn't seemed to cool down and now I'm worried if tight feathers and holding wings out a bit is a sign of something else? Or is she still just hot? Raz by comparison is puffed up with his head tucked back sleeping. So why hasn't Nemo puffed up for sleep too?

It has cooled down now (at least to me - and possibly Raz too lol) as it's night now which is why I'm a little worried she's still seemingly hot :S

Have you noticed if Nemo has been eating and drinking , what about her poop?
Usually heat or stress will make them do this. If it is continually hot weather you can place wet towels over the cage, mist them , have fresh drinking water change it several times during the day .
If she continues to be like this I would be definitely taking her for a check up, does she allow you to pick her up and hold her up?
Can you feel any abnormal lumps, does she have hot feet or cold feet.
How is Raz now? Has she settled down and acting more normal, what are her droppings like? I hope all is better .
