Ollie is not doing well.

Getting some fresh air and light while enjoying a millet coma.
Ollie outside time.webp
 
I’m not seeing the head tilt in the picture.

One of my cockatiels developed symptoms like you have described.
Her name was Lady.
Head tilt.
Not able to perch.
Walking around in circles.
The vet recommended euthanasia and I could not stand to see her suffer.

I hope you have better luck.
 
Thank you. It's rather strange because he seems normal until he isn't. It's almost like his neck gets stuck. When I pick him up and set him upright and straighten his head out and calm him down he's okay again but still unstable. He only had one back flopping episode today as opposed to yesterday, which was awful. I also think the crooked looking up to one side is much less pronounced. I wish they had birdie chiropractors.
I'm sorry about your sweet Lady bird :(

Watching her walking in circles must have been awful. I would have done the same as much as I hate doing it.

How is Ollie?
 
He didn't get stuck on his back yesterday at all but is still not gripping normally. His neck is still out of whack as well. But he has spent the last two nights shredding toys and trying to escape. He eats and poos. I wish I could give him flying time but he walks into things like a drunk old blind man. I can't see him landing safely.
