Hi, Arul and lovebird, welcome to the forum. I don't see anything of concern in his movements... he does seem to have the tiniest stargazing syndrome but good vitamins and good diet should take care of it. Make sure he is getting good food (cooked whole grains, vegetables, fruits, leafy greens) and not just seeds. As far as I know, nobody really knows what causes stargazing but I personally believe that is a consequence of malnutrition. I had a lovie that had been starved on purpose (boyfriend getting back at girlfriend), the female died of starvation and although poor Slim was left alive, he had a super severe case of stargazing. In young birds, I believe it's due to depleted parents and bad diet so make sure he gets good food because, although vitamins are good, they are never as good as nutritious food. One more thing, you don't 'solve' malnutrition in a few weeks, it takes a looong time for the body to get all better so be patient and, in the meantime, get the poor lonely bird a companion, lovebirds are terribly unhappy when alone.
