Thanks for reaching out about George. Fluffed feathers and closed eyes are general signs of illness. A yellow droppings must be differentiated from yellow diarrhea and yellow urine/urates, as these are due to different affected organs and therefore different treatments. Providing heat support in the 80-85 F can give some support. A veterinary visit is recommended, as soon as possible. Good luck.
