Miroki is home!!

Well I am relived to say that Miroki is finally home safe and sound. He is sitting in his new cage, just looking around and hopefully getting settled. He has eaten some seed/pellet and a few grapes since he got home, but he does look unimpressed with his new mummy. Since his cage is out in the lounge room near the computer I am able to multi task, sitting talking to him as well as paying bills and talking on msn.
One thing I have noticed (much to my dismay) is that his wings are clipped so that when he does try to fly he can't land smoothly. Yep its a one sided clip. Murro and Mullani (the two tiels) are ever so slightly balance clipped and they have no problems landing when they do jump/fall off their perches. Miroki's wing has had all of the other flight feathers cut completely off. Is there any hope of evening them out some or would it be best to just leave them be and wait until his new feathers grow in (I want all my fids to be flighted).
Here is a pic of Miroki about 30 minutes after he came home, he looks a little sad don't you think?

Congrats. He is a cutie. I have never had any of my birds come to me with that kind of a clip... but I would say to just let the feathers grow out.

Katie, I fixed the spelling in the thread title. He is adorable, I think he is just nervous about being somewhere new. He will come around once he realizes no one will hurt him.

Congrats on the new birdie. He'll perk up in a little while. He just needs to get used to his new place.
