Thank you for your response. I greatly appreciate it. One question I do have is, sometimes when I’m talking to him, he’ll kinda hunker down low and put his wings out a bit. Is that fear or excitement??? I’m definitely going at his pace (turtle slow. Lol) but I guess being a never owned a bird before bird owner I’m worried I’m doing something wrong. Also, whoever had him before me clipped his wings and the left is soooo much shorter than the right. I’ll never do so myself, but I wonder if it’s causing him any pain or stress issues.
For me and what I'm picturing by your description, it seems he's low and hanging out his wings because he kind of wants to fly off somewhere else. That's just what I'm assuming. Whether in the cage or out, it seems he is doing it out of fear rather than being excited for something. I know it's tough but try to keep a distance and see if that works. Maybe you already are keeping your distance, then in that case just make sure you have your voice low and just go about your business while he settles in more. And for the wings. It may not hurt him so he is probably not even paying any attention to his wings. However because his wings are not evenly clipped, he may have balancing issues, just something I'm putting out there in case it comes up. But for now, just continue what you are doing.
