hello!
post pictures of your baby so we can see!
you can offer him to bathe daily by putting a large shallow dish/bowl with water near him, or put him in the sink and turn the water on low so it flows lightly, and he will go into the water himself. you can also mist him with a spray bottle. Dont force him to get wet.
you can offer him a bath as often as he will take it. I read that you shouldnt do it before bedtime to make sure he is dry before sleeping.
trimming: are you talking about clipping his wings? have an expert show you how to do it properly or take him to the vet. You dont want to cut the wrong feathers, If you hit a blood feather he may bleed profusely and it can become an emergency
No ring: either means it is an adult female or a juvenile male. The ring appears between 1-2 years old (usuallly) on MALES ONLY!
you can give him cashews as a treat. Try not to overdo it though. He should be eating fresh fruits, veggies and foliage along with a balanced pellet diet, maybe mixed in with some seed for fun.
spinach and romaine leaves (dark leafy greens)
veggies like broccoli, carrots, peas, corn, zucchini, cucumbers, radish, potatoes
fruits like apples, pears, watermelon, grapes, cherries
snacks like popcorn, pasta, rice, breadsticks, toast with peanut butter, spray millet, peanuts, cereals - get the healthier ones that arent sugary, raisins, nuts, almonds, plain oatmeal (cooked)
make sure you do some research or pick up a book on foods. There are certain foods you cannot feed, or should be careful about.. like NO avocados, mushrooms, no cherry pits or peach pits, no apple seeds... etc.
mine climbs down off his house and samples whatever Im eating most of the time. As long as its not covered in sauce or fried or something, I let him taste test my food.
He just helped me eat a pierogie!
never feed chocolate, carbonated drinks, alcohol etc.
Good Luck!
Jess

Welcome to the family 
I see you are in good hands already with advice here 
Just keep making the fruit and vegi available. As he settles in his appetite and curiosity will increase, it all just takes time. Regular napping is totally normal.
Glad to have you here.

Hi Guys,
Today Morning there was an Unusual Thingy happend with him
I gave him a Shower bath and after that - i had him in Sunlight for about 10 mts.....
But after that - i saw him Peeing Liquid....Im not sure what it is......
I had a White Towel under under him.....and it was like some Urine or something that came with a Drop of Blood mixed in it
.....
He done this for some 4times and i was really shocked....
But he was normal as usual........
What could be the problem...............

Re: Kutti from INDIA
Looks female to me !!!
When I cut wings I open a jar of first aid styptic powder ...and watch for any bleeding ..
the first 10 feathers can be clipped about 1 to 2 inches ....
I have never had any blood but was told if i did be sure to pluck that feather (ouch) dont know how true that is .
I hate doing claws ...but only a little at a time and keep them long but snip the sharpies off .
Good luck .
