Thanks for reaching out about Visu. He should be separated from the other birds to prevent cross contamination. Viral, bacterial, fungal infections are all possible. A veterinary visit is recommended to assess and provide a diagnostic/treatment plan. Supplemental heat in the 80-85 F range can give some support but is not a treatment in itself. Good luck.
