Thanks for reaching out about Lio. It sounds as if he is fairly sick, so a veterinary visit is recommended as soon as possible, probably today. Once birds show signs of being ill, the disease is fairly advanced and earlier veterinary intervention has a better prognosis. Providing heat support in the 80-85 F range can give some support. Removing perches and allowing to sit on the bottom of the cage, on a soft blanket/towel can improve comfort and cost less energy. The sooner the veterinary visit, the better the prognosis. Good luck.
