Yes, take him away from the healthy one if possible. There is definitely something wrong with it. IF you can take it to the Vet, so much the better. Otherwise keep it warm (30� min) for 48 hours and gradually reduce the temp. Don't give it any human cold/flu medicines as birds are very touchy to the wrong medicines. There is a three in one chance that the bird will get better with just warmth and a two in one chance if you take it to a Vet who has some experience with birds.
Good luck.
