My parrot is lossing his feathers tremendously moveover his colour is becoming pale and ends of feathers are getting brown.what should be the routine followed?
I think you need to put him on a feathering vitamin like this one. It seems Amazon does not have it in stock but maybe you can find it elsewhere? https://www.amazon.in/Nekton-Labs-Nekton-Bio-Bird-Feathering/dp/B0002DIM3W/ref=sr_1_24?dchild=1&keywords=nekton&qid=1587814617&sr=8-24

Is there any natural herb/supplement that can help a bird who is experiencing puffed up feathers and bloody droppings?
Unfortunately, you're probably not going to find anything that is effective. The bloody droppings can be due to infection, parasites or malnutrition to name a few causes. The puffed up feathers can be a general symptom of stress or illness. Ideally, Bruno should be physically examined by your veterinarian or an experienced avian veterinarian to diagnose illness or injury. Submit a stool sample to diagnose intestinal parasites or bacterial overgrowth. Do not medicate him without the advice of your veterinarian, even if using herbs or other supplements.

Which foods should I avoid giving my bird?
You don't mention what type of bird you have, I am going to assume a parrot? In birds it is best to avoid chocolate, caffeine, avocado, onion and garlic, comfrey, apple seeds, pits/stones from fruits, sugar free foods containing xylitol (this can cause issue in dogs and we don't know for sure about birds), foods high in fat or salt, mushrooms, dairy, grit, peanuts that have become moldy, and the plant portion of members of the nightshade family (i.e. tomato, potato, peppers, eggplant- the fruits aren't toxic but the leaves/plant parts are).

I noticed his stool has seeds in it recently. He is coming out of his cage, however the last 3 nights he's been sleeping in the corner bottom of cage. He usually chirps when I come home but lately he's quieter. He does perch in the cage and out. He
If his behavior is unusual or any symptoms (such as changes to the stool and lethargic behavior) are worsening, seeking a vet visit in person is always best to rule out issues such as GI upset, illness, etc. Adding a little grit to the diet may also help better breakdown seeds in his food and allow him to digest/pass them more easily. Sometimes, parasites can look like seeds in the stool, so having a vet take a look and checking for any parasites may also be a good idea. As for fresh fruits and veggies, birds can sometimes be picky about what they eat. The best rule of thumb is to keep offering them until your bird finally gets curious enough to try it. He may find a new favorite!
