Thanks for reaching out about Venus and including a photo. Have you tried offering different foods? Provide heat support might give some comfort. Most sick birds are placed in incubators of 80-85 F. Offing water via a syringe if not drinking. A veterinary visit is recommended to assist with diagnosis and treatment plans. Good luck.
