Thanks for reaching out about Mo Mo. Sounds as if he is ill and needs to see a veterinarian. Animals don't get sick because their old, but an organ system starts to have problems. The lump on the chest could be a lipoma, common in budgies. On the bottom of the cage is an indication of weakness. Liver or renal concerns are high on the list. A veterinary visit is recommended, ASAP. Good luck.
