My bird is weak, light-sensitive, and breathing fast. What's wrong?

Question

symptoms are weak, sensitive to light, affected coordination, rapid heartbeat/breathing, bobbing tail. Appetite and water intake good. Pet's info: Bird | Unknown - Bird | Male

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.
