I am asking for opinions, personal experience,advice. I am interested in adopting an older male eclectus. I have a female that I feel would love to have a "mate". I am not interested in breeding. I have had contact with a breeder who has one who is slightly plucked and a rescue place that has one they rescued that is almost completely plucked! I am a real softy at heart and my first instinct is to adopt the naked bird. But I am not sure this is the best plan. Any of you with experience with this? What about the plucking? I have Ben keeping birds for about 20 years and have had good experiences with my birds as they have been rather well adjusted. Also both birds are younger than her one by about 7 yrs the other 11yrs. My bird is 18 yrs old I have had her since she was 3. Thanks for the input!
