Hey all,
My wife and I picked up a female eclectic 3 months ago. She was almost here years old and we brought her into a very busy household.
We have three children (12, 10, 5) two dogs, and two cats and when we got Stella we also picked up a Quaker parrot.
We currently are struggling a bit with Stella due to never ending flock calls. Our neighbors have even complained about it. I travel quite a bit and my wife is getting majorly frustrated. I think when she isn't flock calling we like her quite a bit. When I am home on the flock calling isn't quite as significant but mainly because when she does I pop her on my shoulder so my wife doesn't continue to press me to get rid of her.
Aside from the flock calling we struggle to get her to vocalize. She only will do it when we aren't in the room and we aren't quite sure why. We have lots of questions we would love to ask and learn provided I can determine a solution to the flock call.
If anyone has some suggestions would love to hear them. I would really love to keep her but I'm having a hard time defending the constant flock calls.
Thanks in advance
Mike & Jessica
