By your description, there may be some respiratory issues developing. A respiratory infection is quite serious in birds. Ideally, Cricket should be physically examined by your veterinarian or an experienced avian vet for diagnosis and treatment. In the meantime, keep him warm and as stress free as possible until he sees the doctor.
