Sick cockatiel

[Colleen macdonald]

Dumpy looking feeling poorly male 5 yr old cockatiel. Sits fluffed up , head under wing. Eating abit , not very interested in water. I’m thinking…he’s often on floor eating everything. Crumbs of anything, dirt, dog food and even cat litter.( pika?) Has he eaten something unhealthy for him or even slightly impacted gut. He does poop. Live in area, fairly far from avian vet. Any suggestions anyone? Any place I can look up vet info?
