OMG! a bird! what do I need to know?

Congratulations! I’m glad you found him, and that he’s turning out to be such a lovely bird.

Stripes going across the front of his head all the way down to thecere indicates youth, I believe.

Blue cere definitely indicates male.

You have yourself a yearling male, I suspect.

Do post flyers in vet offices and the like. Some folks never really give up on flyaways.

I wanted to name my small green bird “Zigafoo”, but he only answers to “George” and “Snotlocker”. See if he likes any of those

His name is “Petey”.

I was gonna offer some husbandry advice, but Mangetout beat me to it.:wink:

Younger than that, possibly; I believe that in most varieties, the head stripes recede to about in line with the eyes well within the first year.
