our new Alexandrian Parrot

[eelios]

We have just got our 4 month old Alexandrian Parrot. Hes about the size of a budgie and hes very nervous at the minute from the journey and the new environment. We have noticed one of his wings is longer than the other. Hes also got a touch of baldness on the top of one of his legs. Hes very frightened and is huddled up on his perch. Is there anything i should do to help him get used to his environment and is the wing thing normal? Also havent had a parrot this young before so is it possible his feathers are growing in? I have proper dna docs and hatch cert from the lady i git him from. Thanks

aww poor little guy. Just do your best to make him feel comfortable and try giving him some sunflower seeds from your hand. You'll have a great little friend in no time.
Post a pic?

that might be a ringneck, does he have a red patch on his shoulder? Regardless that is a cute little featherhead. If he can perch let him perch on your finger and pet him and talk to him. Whistle as well.

What a cute little guy! If its just the feathers that are longer on one side there's no need to worry, the other side will catch up in time

Its not Alexandrian its Indian Ring Neck.May be its African Ring Neck because the difference African & Indian is very slight.
