The sores are even on his body.. Could they be from fighting ???

Congrats on the bird! Looks like it might be avian pox, but I can't say I've ever seen a case in person so I'm just going off photos I've seen.

Congrats on the bird! Those are some odd wounds and my initial though was fighting wounds, but it looks more like a skin disease though.

congrats on a great bird, but could they possobly be scars from shot, like maybe they just bearely broke the skin,not enough energy to kill him, probably not but just a thought.
