Help, i need to know if my bird is sick.

Post by Carmelocapp »

Hello guys, my new ringneck (5 days) has been standing still (moving occasionally to eat) with his feathers fluffed up like this for about 2 days, he only straightens them whenever I get inside his cage to replace his food and water. I just wanted to know if this is a sign of a sick bird and if that's the case should I bring him to an avian vet? I don't want to traumatize him, he's already terrified of human hands in general, I am trying my best to not scare him and I can see I'm winning his trust slowly. I already love him and would do anything to make his life better.

One last thing, the owner of the bird shop told me he is 7 months old but I think that's a lie because I can already see his "ring" and he's already developing a pink-ish ring also. Could you confirm or deny my intuition? Have a good day :)
