I agree with Karen. Birds don't get colds but what you are
describing are symptoms of much respiratory distress. Whether
it's from breathing something long term in a garage, (what were
they thinking?) or from the temperature change he has been
through, he is in trouble. You need to do whatever it takes to
keep him as close to 85F as possible, out of all drafts, and
keep him stress free until you can get in with him. YOu need a
very well qualified and experienced Avian vet. Not a dog/cat
vet. Please don't put it off. Get him in asap.
