From places like ebay, you can find something called Harkers. It's an anti-coccoid. I can't tell you for sure without a microscopic test, but coccidiosis is a very common killer of young birds, and can make them twitch like this. I always make sure I have Harker's in my cabinet, it's such a common disease.

Another important thing to have on hand for this is bird grit/oyster shell that has little bits of charcoal! If you see this behavior, you can sometimes give them the charcoal grit, and it can help absorb anything toxic they have had in their stomach. I once had a bird eat an entire chocolate truffle and had seizures. I thought she would die, this charcoal helped and she survived to old age.

One more thing that can cause this kind of shaking and twitching is moldy food. Sometimes mold can be very sneaky or invisible, so when you buy new food, don't mix it with the old food. The charcoal can help with this as well.

If you can't see a vet (no vets in my area know anything about birds), you can try to buy a broad-spectrum antibiotic from a farm and feed supply store, but if you do, it's very important that you follow the directions exactly! If you don't follow them exactly, you can make the disease stronger instead of killing it, then you will not be able to stop it from spreading.

The best way you can survive emergencies like this is to already have these things at home, on your shelf! If you need links/help to find supplies, I can show them to you and help you check laws and regulations for poultry medicines in your area.

That does sound like coccidiosis. That means he will be a carrier for life, and in all probability will come down with it again the next time he undergoes a lot of stress. You should be able to get your hands on it in Turkey! The antibiotic I use is all the way from Indonesia.

The medicine you want for coccidiosis (koksidiyoz) is Amprolium! That's very important. Brand name is not important as long as it contains amprolium. Normal anti-parasitic medicines don't work on coccidiosis because of the way it reproduces.
