These are my questions while you are finding a vet.

Is this both sides?
Has he been drinking?
Are his poops normal? Describe/photograph them.
Have you changed anything? Diet?
Is it painful to him?

 

[Big Blues]

Hi, your baby is adorable. Changes in skin pigmentation can be a sign of illness, please find a vet soon to examine your baby. Keep him hydrated, fed as much as he will eat and resting until he is examined.

I'm not sure if you can see from the photos JR but it appears his whole face is sunken in. Feeling the structure of Korbel's head I can't even justify dehydration for this. This is beyond my knowledge.

I would like to add one more.
Is your baby able to open and close its beak?

Hello, you have received very good information from many people. Possible injury from learning or trying to fly.

Hydration: Pedialyte clear mix 50/50 with water, or Gatorade hydration drink mix 50/50 with water. This may give your bird temporary boost to help with eating.
Digestion: Fennel tea, make cup of tea and dilute 4:1 with water. Make sure tea is cool.
Be careful with any liquid if bird is not drinking on his own. A pipette is best to small amounts in lower beak, do not squirt down throat.

Keep a close eye on your birds weight and feces.

An Avian vet is would be best.

An Avian vet is would be best.

But any vet is better than none

Because they can consult with avian vet who is further away.

If you can't get to a vet, try to do an online consultation with one.

 

[greys4u]

ask the vet about tele vision so they can see the bird. My vet provides that if needed since you cant get into the vet at this time.

Thanks, I could not see the picture well on my phone where I was viewing, didn’t observe his sunken face. The hydration recommendation was a general first aid recommendation with rest while waiting for a vet. Sorry about the confusion. I have never seen that before or heard about anything such as that, will continue to research.

Yes it’s both sides. Yes he is taking his formula but I didn’t give water separately.
poop looks normal but little bit more water with poop.
no I didn’t change anything.
i dont think that its painful to him

You are going to find a vet for this sweetie. Do not give up until you do. I don't care if you have to video chat with a vet from the US to get answers!

He was fine in your pictures on Thursday. What on earth happened since then? Has he been flying? Did he hit a wall?

 

[Big Blues]

I trying my best but no vet available near me.
What can i do

At least call and talk to an Avian Vet, if you are within driving distance take him in, often if you are actually in their office the vet will see the bird.

India is a huge country. I don't think it's helpful to post suggestions until we know at least which state @MEENA JI is in. It can also be difficult to travel long distances, and it's also monsoon season which makes travel even harder. Unless we know roughly which area to focus on, it's like giving the names of vets in Florida for someone who lives in Boston.
