Maybe, but more likely she is just interested in breeding. Cacatuoides-group females who have eggs/fry usually don't show a lateral band. Instead, they show only a dark black lateral spot on a very brilliant yellow body.
She has been guarding a cave for a couple days now. She won't let the male near it. I can't get a good look in that cave because of the plants in front of it. She comes out to eat but just grabs a little and darts back into the cave.
