6 weeks sleeps alot

[Maggs]

Hi I just got a 6 weeks old and he sleeps all day I have to wake him up to syringe him formula otherwise he happy to sleep in his box. Is that normal. He's very week and struggles to stand and wants something to lean against for support or he falls over backwards.

Plus to add I notice that he has odd seizures like a little fit of epilepsy and squeels and flickers his eyes shacks until it's over lasts about a minute then it's fine. So they grow out of it or must I take it to a vet for medication

Oh my. That does not sound good. If you can, try seeing an avian vet. Could be your baby needs antibacterial medications or something, perhaps even more feedings .

Good lu8ck!

Most definitely not right. At 6 weeks old, he should have a hearty appetite and a desire to explore. Please try to see an Avian vet. Regular vets seldom see any birds, much less baby ringnecks.
I hope your baby is okay- losing a baby bird is so sad.
