I only use heating pads on the bottom of the cages with some sort of material (like a towel or a quilt) draped over the top, back and sides (so the heat doesn't 'escape') and only the front open to light BUT this is for sick birds that need extra heat temporarily. For a bird that needs it all the time, I would use something transparent (plexiglass?) instead of the opaque material.
But for when she is out of her cage, how about a little sweater? Of course, the room where she is in must be quite warm even if she wears the sweater.
Poor thing doesn't look too good, does she? Please do not wait until the last minute to put her down. This disease does not only affect feathers and beaks, it also affects internal organs...
