Thanks for reaching out about Hammer and including a photo. This bird needs to see a veterinarian as soon as possible. Providing heat support in the 80-85 F can give some aid. Remove perches and place a soft towel on the bottom for comfort as perch requires energy to balance. Possibilities such as metabolic disorders, infections, ingested toxins, and other possibilities. Only a veterinarian can help with a diagnosis and treatment plan. Good luck.
