So my Blue Boy is still thriving, but I've noticed my one other bird has been hovering over him. Smokey (my other male. I have 3 boys) has been following Blue around the cage and even tried to sit on top of him the other night. Is this Smokey protecting Blue because he knows he's ill or is he trying to "help him along" because Blue being I'll is losing some kind of threat in the cage.

Maybe they want to feed him because he’s unwell? If they’re all bonded to each other that might happen. But he’s part of their group and there’s concern at some level.
