Lazy baby or Sick Baby??? =_=
i have recently perched my 11 weeks old male eclectus and it doesnt seem like his posture is right. His not groping onto the perch tight, seems like his feet are straight sometimes.
I never realised it untill recently, he doesnt seem very active and his wings looks floppy. His feet doesnt seem like its groping on the perch probaly. Is he sick or is he jst lazy?????? But when its feeding time, he squawks and runs to me and looks very alert and not tired/lazy. He walks fine and even jumps on the foam box that he sleep on and use it as a perch when its feeding time. Ive got a 15 weeks old female and shes the very opposite to him, shes active alert, and walks around the house looking for me. Any suggestions to whats wrong with him?? ![]() ![]() |

For things like this we can't help very much, it's best to call your vet and see if they think your bird should be brought in.

At the shop where I got Neytiri they had a baby male ekki. He wouldn't move or do a thing. Very laid back. The owner said that males are opposites to the females and just lazy. When in doubt ask a vet. This is just relaying of what she told me.

Re: Lazy baby or Sick Baby??? =_=
Rosie i ment to answer this last night. I have a male eclectus bub around the same age as your baby & at 11 weeks they do act as your baby is. Your hen is a whole month older so is way more advanced than your little guy.
As long as your baby is eating well, droppings a looking normal for a chick on formula, his eyes are bright & his feathers are beautiful & glossy. If he was sick he wouldn't be interested in food at all, look sleepy & not show any interrest in anything to much. He would also be grumpy. Baby boy eclectus are usually a little slower than the hens, IMO. The hen will gobble their baby food like theres not tomorrow & the males eat like they have all the time in the world. Usually when feeding a baby male i have to keep heating the food up because he takes his time to eat. If your hand rearing food doesn't have probiotics in it go buy some & use it everyday. It's great stuff & really helps your birds immune system develop. |

hi guys, thank you for all the response. Took my baby to the vet yesterday and im so glad to say that his all healthy and is well. Only one thing though, he was lacking calcium so the vet prescribed him some calcium syrup.

Hi we all appreciate your enthusiasm but it is necessary to view the posting dates ie this one is 2012 and the OP has not been back since then. If you look we do get many of these one shot cries for help.
