The easies solution is either Recovery from Royal canin or a/d from hills, both are wet foods designed for cats and dogs but are suitable for baby birds as well, you can draw them into a syringe and feed this bird (many times a day!)

Feed a good quality pelleted diet (Harrison's, Roudybush, Lafeber, Pretty Bird or Exact) supplemented with a fortified seed mix and fresh greens and vegetables. Provide a cuttlebone or mineral block. Always have fresh water available. Provide an appropriately sized nesting box and suitable nesting material (straw, Aspen shaving, shredded newspaper, etc.).

Soak her bottom in some warm water to clean it up as much as possible. Discontinue feeding any fruits or vegetables until her droppings are normal. Feed a commercial pelleted mix (Harrison's, RoudyBush, Pretty Bird or Exact) and a small amount of a fortified seed mix. Submit a sample of the droppings to your veterinarian to diagnose intestinal parasites. Clean the cage thoroughly and sanitize the bowls, perches and toys. Discard anything that cannot be sanitized. Keep Bobalina warm and as stress free as possible. If the symptoms persist or worsen, have her physically examined by your vet to diagnose and treat illness or injury.

You should indeed clean her cage every day, i do not recommend squid bones, there are special stones that can be purchased in pet stores specially designed for beak trimming. in most bird species it's not possible to tell if they are male or female unless a DNA test is performed.

I would separate the birds for a few days with the heat lamp just so your healthier bird doesn't overpreen or stress out your other bird further. It is also a good idea to seek veterinary care in person ASAP to make sure she doesn't have any lasting injuries from the fly paper, stress, or anything used on her feathers, especially since she is showing so many general signs of illness.
