MonicaMc be carefull with species your not familiar with . A lot of what we read about eclectus are very conflicting. In my experience dealing with these birds everyday & knowing their temprement so well a lot of what we read is myth.
Chikoo IMO that male looks healthy to me, if he were given such a bad diet for so many years he would not look in such good condition.
Thanks Pedro. Do you have any additional thoughts to add in terms of adding him to my flock? He's been on my mind a lot, in a good way. I wonder if his owner would let me take care of him for a week or so, just to test things out. Since the owner is moving (in about a month), I would hate to take the bird, and then realize shortly thereafter that it simply is not working, or the birds hate each other, etc., and then have to rehome him once again. So maybe if the owner is open to my seeing how he does in the house, it could be worth it, unless someone here feels like that's a terrible idea. That's basically what I'm feeling at the moment.
