Nice looking bird...I think male too, the neck ring is a dead giveaway. He'll get used to you again...just give the little featherhead some time.

what a beautiful biy, definately male because only male alexs get a ring. just spend time with him and eventually he will come back around, just be patient and dont push to hard.
i do how ever have to question his age, your thread title gives me the impression that he is 9months?? Alex's dont normally start getting their ring till they are atleast 12-18months old. I currently have a 2yr old who only has a partial ring, its a bit more prominant then your little guys but id say that rex is about 18months old atleast. i could be wrong, but that is alot of ring for a 9month old
