Hi everybody! I'm new to the forum and was looking for some advice.
My dad got a Red Sided male Eclectus a couple of days before Christmas, and I need some advice on raising him. My dad passed away in January so I am raising the bird myself. His name is Echo and he is 6 months old.
My main concern is that he does not have any desire to be around me. He doesn't bite much but he hates when I try to pet him and just sits on my hand. He doesn't really like to run around much or play when I have him out.
Is this normal for young Eclectus or just Eclectus in general?
Any tips for connecting with him more?
I feed him a fresh veggie/fruit diet along with pellets from the breeder(Cold pressed, organic, etc.) I also have an umbrella cockatoo and a black-masked love bird
Thank you so much for any advice!
