looks like it may be an African ring neck to me.

Im not sure of the age i was hopping someone on this site could give me a clue of that as well.

the bird hasn't been fed well so I've been giving it fruits and vegetables, by the looks of it they had the bird on a all sunflower seed diet do you know what would be good to give it to get it healthy again?

and also I'm afraid the bird might have a respiratory infection of some sort because even when its at a rest sometimes it breathes with its mouth open

thanks alot i really appreciate the help

(Im excited to have a ringneck!!!!)

The leg band it's wearing should tell you the age of the bird.
