Hi virginia

Welcome to the forums.  Your birds sounds really unwell but it is difficult to say what it could be.  Anything from Marek's disease to poisoning.

Keep an eye on him for any changes and contact a vet would be what I would do  :cry:

If you tell us a bit about him , age / any other symptoms / history / breed / known vaccinations / any other birds unwell, that type of thing someone may have some ideas.
