I would highly recommend taking Crash to a vet. Unfortunately has birds get older they are at higher risk of developing disease. Birds are really good at hiding illness but Crashs weight loss might be a early sign. I would be concerned about Crash's liver and kidney function. It is important that he has some basic blood work to look at how his organs are functioning. At home I would just recommend feeding him as much as he wants to eat. Also you can give him his favorite treats more often. Hope Crash feels better
