Answer 1

Get your bird inside asap put a fan blowing on him. Mist him with cool water not cold as you dont want to shock his body temp more. Offer water to drink very slow or try to give him pedilyte or gatorade. He also may have had a fright if there was a big bird flying over him. hawk,crow.. Call vet get their advice and bring in as soon as possible. Good luck. Put in cool dim lit room with fan until can bring there.

Answer 2

Well you probably already brought him inside, so i would recommend placing a fan by his cage. Spray him with cool water often make sure he is out of the sunlight. Try to keep him away from bright lights and rooms that are stuffy. Put some cold water in a bowl in his cage so if he starts to become more active he can cool himself. Read the website I listed its pretty helpful. I also suggest taking him to a vet. Hope I helped! Tell your bird to get well soon! <3

Answer 3

You need to get him to the vet immediately. I know you care about him so don't feel guilty. I would put him in a cooler place and give him fresh water but you need to talk to a vet or emergency room for animals. I hope your bird is ok, I know you love him
