He is about 8 weeks old, loveable and still baby talk. When I go to work he needs to go to his cage. When I return from work, I can see he didn't eat or drink water. Should I be worried. He loves when I'm back can't wait to get out the cage. He sleeps next to me in his own bed. Pls help with him not eating or drinking water. Thank u

In my opinion, any of the vets listed here should be better than a regular vet.
International contacts, too.
If none are near you, maybe you could call and ask for a recommendation for somebody in your area.

So you bought an unweaned baby...

Did you buy the parrot from a breeder? Was he completely weaned off parrot formula? If he really is 8 weeks, that is very young to have weaned him. If he is not weaned, baby parrots do need to eat regularly. Honestly I would return him to the breeder to have the parrot completely weaned for at least a week.
