HELP! feather problems, indian ringneck. 4mO

Hello guys how are you doing?
I'd like your insight about a feather problem please.

I have a Indian Ringneck (Lúcio) he is 4 months old and I'm noticing that his feathers are looking poor. I read a lot online about it, molting, adult feathers comming, but i see pictures of other ringnecks like him about his age and they look way better so this gets me concerned.

He has a pallets diet with fruits in the morning (i give him mostly mandarins and apples)

I started training him to come to me when i call his name and raise my hand so he can fly and land on it. For that i give him sunflower seeds. But not a lot, just as a reward.

He has showers 2 times a week.

Lúcio has a big cage but he doesn't live inside of it. Instead i have a maids room empty, so the cage is inside the room and he is always free there.

He spends most of his time on the perch in the living room and at night i put him in the maids room to sleep where he has his toys and another perch on top of his cage.

He flies a lot inside the house as well, what makes me think he is healthy, but im not sure, cause he has this bad feather looks.

I attached some pics of him.
Can you share some of your experience about birds please?

Here is his pic.

Yes he does look pretty bad for his age. You should test him for PBFD immediately. You can use Avian Biotech, it costs about $25.

Thanks. I will do that ASAP.

Please let us know. IRNs are particularly prone to the disease and it is very contagious and very deadly.
