Based on the symptoms you are describing I would be concerned that the bird is either not getting enough nutrition or that he has aspirated some of the food and now is developing pneumonia. My best recommendation for you is to have your bird examined by an avian veterinarian. If your bird did aspirate he will need some antibiotics to help with the infection. Your bird may also need supplemental oxygen while the infection is getting under control. I hope this helps. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. Best of luck.
