Unfortunately, those are all very vague symptoms that are common to several issues. Anything from illness to infection, parasites, etc may be the cause of Lala's symptoms. If he continues to show them, seeking veterinary care is best for an exam to figure out the cause. it is also a good idea to move him to a hospital cage that is kept warm with easy access to food and water and separated from other birds to allow him to rest until you can get to the vet.
