Cutest Bird Ever!!!
Firstly check he is not actively bleeding.
He needs to go into a brooder to keep him warm.
If you don't have one, you will have to DIY one, you can do this using a critter carrier and a heating pad underneath one end. Line the bottom with a good few inches of aspen shavings. You can use coarse pine if no aspen. Avoid fine pine as it can be easily ingested/inhaled. Never ever use cedar (toxic!).
Baby parrot formula. I'm loyal to Nutribird for my lovebirds, but use what you can get today in the shops.
