Found a parakeet: Is it wild or sick? Why is it sleeping so much?

Question

I just found a young moustached parakeet (or maybe a derbyan parakeet) 2 days ago.How do I know if it is from captivity or from the wild?And it is not afraid when I put my finger near him and does not bite.AND IMPORTANTLY he sleeps a lot and stays on the bottom of the cage...I think it can be because of too much flying and just needs rest. Pet's info: Bird | Parakeet | Male | unneutered

Thanks for reaching out. Rarely are wild parakeets nice and handleable. If sleeping a lot, might be sick or malnourished. Try offering food, supply heat support. If still lethargic by tomorrow, seek veterinary help at clinic. Good luck.
