His feathers look rather big. How old is the bird?

Hard to tell just from looking. Birds are masters of hiding their ailments. You could always take it to the vet for a well-bird check up.
His/her tail looks extremely stubby, even for a young bird. Was it somehow ripped out? Or do you know? Always interesting with new birds/adoptions/rescues.
