My new cockatiel's underwing skin looks concerning. What should I do?

Question

I got this male cockatiel 3 days ago. He is about 6 or 7 months old. He is behaving normally. I am worried about his skin under the wings. Is he sick / healthy? Please, tell me what to do with him. Pet's info: Bird | Unknown - Bird | Male | 6 months and 18 days old | 0.22 lbs

It's impossible to diagnose anything from a picture but I don't see anything obviously abnormal from your pictures. It's always a good idea to get a new pet exam done by an avian veterinarian when getting a new bird. Www.aav.com can help you find one Birds for Dummies by Brian Speer and Gina Spadafori is a great general resource for new bird owners for care and training. Good luck and have fun with your new friend. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
