Welcome.

It seams to me that he's not settled in yet David. Try not handling him for a few days. Just sit next to the cage and talk to him. And during that time, try and see if he’ll take a piece of food from your hand.

he's also pulling his own feathers

I think he’s stressed.
You know moving from one place to another can be stressful for a bird.
How old is he?

hi

All right then. does your IRN have a black ring on his neck?
could you post some pics of him?
