These can be early indicators of illness or injury. Birds will normally eat small amounts throughout the day and are quite active. An exam with your veterinarian or an experienced avian vet would be recommended to diagnose illness or injury. In the meantime, clean and sanitize Muthu's cage, bowls, perches and toys. Discard anything that cannot be sanitized. Keep him war and as stress free as possible until he sees the doctor. You can soak pelleted food in a small amount of fruit juice to stimulate his appetite.
