Thanks for reaching out about Loopi. A veterinary visit is definately recommended but if not available, providing heat support in the 80-85 F range might give some support. Hand or syringe feed as needed, as mal nutrition can lead to weakness. Seed is not a complete diet, vegetables and a protein source are needed. If this bird was originally hand feed, return to that. Don't forget to offer water. Good luck.
