Mites and lice can be treated with a spray from your local pet store. However, if Romeo is sick enough that he is falling off his perch, this is a sign he is very ill and should be seen by a veterinarian right away. Keeping him in a warm hospital cage with perches removed and easy access to food and water is best until you get to your vet.
