My green cheek conure is sick, throwing up, and stumbling. What to do?

Question

My green cheek conure is very sick! He started throwing up red mushy vomit and had red to pinkish droppings but are now back to green and sometimes brown. He is also stumbling around but can still perch and eat but he just threw up a clear liquid. His legs will sometimes close while he walks and continues to stumble. He still loves attention but is much more mellow, which isn't like him at all! I brought home a new parrotlet a few weeks ago and that's when all this started.

I am sorry that Frootloop isn't doing well. I would recommend a visit to an avian veterinarian ASAP. The new bird may have brought in an infection the Fruitloop caught if they were not quarantined from each other. Or the stress of change may have caused something dormant to flare up. But with the stumbling and vomitting I worry he may decompensate quickly without some medical attention.
