My old-man lovebird, Figaro, either has an inner ear infection or a neurological disorder. If it is a neurological disorder, it is likely not treatable. My vet gave me meds to treat for an ear infection, which I am going to do for the next two weeks. I am hopeful, because (per my vet) lovebirds are susceptible to inner ear infections. I have had Figaro for ten years and he was *at least* two years old when I got him (based on having a full-adult beak color), but was likely much older. He has always seemed like an old bird, but until now has always been healthy. So while I am still hopeful for the time being, I am bracing myself for worse.
