This sounds like Piku is pretty ill and needs to be seen by a vet. Vomiting and lethargy are both very general signs of illness, and since birds are very good at hiding being sick, if Piku is showing visible signs he should be treated by a vet in person. In the meantime, keeping him in a warm hospital cage with access to food and water may help, but if the problem persists, vet care is needed.
