Well Linda, what exactly does his diet consist of? Is he getting and eating fresh veggies, pellets, eggs, greens, calcium etc. and is he getting adequate daily natural direct bright yellow sunshine or proper indoor F.S. lighting? Is he clipped or fully flighted? What are the interior dimensions of his cage?
How do you know his appetite is good or not? Just nibbling on seeds may simply be just nibbling and not actual eating. Do you see the empty seed shells on the newspaper at the bottom of the cage? What kind of cage is it? Does it have a grate on the bottom? Do you sterilize the water vessels and food bowls frequently enough?
We need you to give every single minor detail you can about his diet, living conditions, cage location, stress level in your home, any new practices in your home, pets, children, smoking, spraying, chemicals of any kind, does he roam around the house outside of his cage at all, etc. etc. etc.......Knowing everything in detail may help us help you but a trip to the Avian Vet certainly sounds in order here.
Did you know his exact weight before and do you know it currently? Have you felt the breastbone and is it sharp or is there plenty of flesh/muscle etc. on both sides etc....How do the droppings look? Is he breathing steady and normally? Is his vent clean, nostrils clean, eyes bright?
Well I guess that is enough questions for now. Good luck and please don't wait too long to get to the Avian Vet if there is no improvement very soon.
