Hm... I've contacted another vet and he says Pacheco is a desease that would kill him in a few days and that my other bird would have the same issues and also die.
My first vet says Tihad does not have a liver deseaes based on the blood test, because if an organ works wrong, u will have other symptoms.
Should I get advice of a thind vet?
once they're out, he drops everything and is no longuer interested.
What exactly are you talking about? can you show the bottle or tell the name of the formula?
About the low protein food, I did put him on that previously, like 3 months a go. At that time he was sleeping even more. He does not sleep when I play with him, but he did at that time. After a month, I gave him back his normal food and he was more happy.
I've also bough him a big viny branch a couple of days a go. He made sure he does not touch it.
I've removed his perch from the cage and installed the branch. He stayed on the bottom of the cage in a corner while I was at work and did not move for 7 hours (I have video monitoring). The has pulled off lots of his big feathers. I wish I knew birds can be THAT obsessed about a wooden stick...
I've put back his perch at top of the other branch and put him on it. And he sayed "Good bird" which was kinda unexpected.
He was fine and eating normally. He was barbering, but just like the usual.
For instance his palm tree toy did not change anything, but I will hope it does some distraction.
He's living in a cage half the size he should live in. He's in the cage 3 days per week because I can work from home, but the management still want to see me in the office.
I didn't get a new one yet, but not sure if I should. He's scared of his new perch... Should I get a new cage?

I did, it's ignored. I had an old hat made of palm leaves. I've put it apart and now he's chewing on on them while they're insite a toilet paper roll (no glue)Get yourself a clean catalog (not read), roll it up and stick between the bars of his cage
once they're out, he drops everything and is no longuer interested.
I would do a detox treatment on him (Aloe Vera detox formula with extra milk thistle extract in his water) and put him on all fresh food with low protein, just in case it's his liver.
