My bird is shaking, breathing fast, and sleeping. Should I see a vet?

Question

I woke up this morning to see my bird sitting on the tray of the cage and slightly shaking. When I reached towards him, he began to slowly walk towards me while crouched almost as if he was crawling. I checked all of the food and water which had no problems and then proceeded to take him out of the cage. He is now just sleeping and breathing relatively fast.

Those are all very general signs of illness in a bird. It would be a good idea to get Blue to a vet as soon as possible to try and determine what may be causing his symptoms. Until you can get to your vet, keeping him in a warm hospital cage with low/no perches and food and water that is easy to get in and out of may help.
