Thanks for reaching out about Ravan. Cerelac is a wheat product and is not appropriate nutrition for a baby bird. A vegetable/fruit puree would be better suited. Commercially available products as Kaytee Exact are better for raising parrots. Providing heat support might give some comfort but is not a cure. A veterinary visit is highly recommended. Good luck.
