It's possible there could be a lasting injury such as nerve or muscle damage that is making it hard for him to perch. I would have him checked out by a local vet to make sure there isn't an underlying problem that can still be treated to help make it easier for him. If the damage is permanent, adding in flat platform style perches can help make it easier for him to get around and rest, as well as adding in shallow dishes that are easy to climb out of for food and water.
