This is serious. My budgie died that way. The only way to save it is to rush it to a vet IMMEDIATELY. Don't wait another minute. Call 1st and see if an avian vet is at the nearest possible vet. Be VERY gentle with it!!!! I waited an hour and mine was already dead. They may be able to save it if you go NOW.
usually in a week

Sitting with one foot up. If my parakeet wants out he will pace the bottom of his cage. If u have a necklace he will suit on u for hours and chew on the silver. Once they are comfortable with you they will try to eat anything you eat. Its cute but dont let them become a scavenger like bird.

Ok, so the MAJOR sign that your parakeet is sick is that he's sitting on the bottom of the cage, shivering. That's the numero uno sign that he's sick. He may be doing a little better, but just incase, take him to the vet for a check up to see if everything is working inside that little body of his correctly! Because I'm sure you don't want to lose your little buddy!! -Alesandra-
