I would recommend taking Charlie to an avian veterinarian. Tell bobbing in increased respiratory rate may be indicative of a primary respiratory disease or signs of stress. Budgies can be prone to tumors that can affect grip and climbing. An avian vet can perform a physical exam then discuss likely problems or further diagnostic testing from there. In the meantime try to limit stress and handling. https://vcahospitals.com/know-your-pet/sick-pet-birds-nursing-care Good luck and thank you for using Pet coach.
