I'm very sorry to see this! It appears that your poor parrot has what's known as a palatine bone luxation. This usually happens when something hits there face very hard. Unfortunately, these cannot be easily fixed and will require the parrot to have anesthesia, x-rays and possibly surgery by a veterinarian. Finding a vet that can do this may be difficult, but you can ask your local vet doctors there to help you find a bird doctor. This needs to be corrected soon, because birds can get very weak if they are not able to eat. Hopefully you are able to give him food and water through a syringe right now. Below is a link to a video that shows how to do this. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oJrTxQ9_s-I I hope that helps and this gets corrected soon.
