First of all, he needs a much bigger cage! this cage is horribly small for Mithu. the symptoms he is showing are probably non related to the cage though, he is probably suffering from an infection and needs to be seen by an avian vet urgently. birds take baths themselves, you just need to put a big water dish at the bottom of the cage, but you need a much bigger cage for that too.
