It is difficult to determine illness in a bird from just images. A physical exam is necessary to definitively diagnose illness or injury. That said, your bird appears to be "bright and alert". A sick bird will be perching low with the eyes closed and feathers puffed out. It will be lethargic, have a decreased or loss of appetite and possibly loose droppings. The problem is that birds are good at concealing illness or injury until the condition is quite serious. If Golgappa is exhibiting any of these symptoms or is acting oddly, then an exam with your veterinarian or an experienced avian veterinarian would be recommended.
