Question

Even if Rangu isn't having diarrhea, other issues such as GI upset, underlying illness, parasites, being full, or issues with the crop could all cause a bird to not eat as much. Extreme temperatures such as very hot or cold conditions may also cause a bird to not want to eat as much. If this has been ongoing for several days, or he is losing weight from it, seeking veterinary care is always best to rule out any more serious issues. In the meantime, keeping him in a place that isn't too cold or too hot with easy access to food and water may encourage him to eat. If he is still too young to eat on his own, monitoring his crop for emptying and feeding following the instructions on any baby bird formula can help ensure he's getting the right amount of food.
