RIP Paco, Jack, and Echo </3
One of my most precious parrot companions passed away last October. Since then I had a bad experience with a male eclectus that was given to me that had not been properly raised and was aggressive with people. I thought I would never get another Eclectus after that. I ended up giving the male to my first eclectus's old breeder. I just got a message last week that my bird Echo's mom has had another clutch of eggs with the male I gave her and 2 have hatched! I got a great price and now I'm just waiting for him or her to grow. The breeder will be pulling for handfeeding at 4 weeks since the hen is such a good mother. After that I'm going to take the baby home to handfeed myself after her or she is fully feathered which from my research will be between 6-9 weeks. I am so excited! This is perfect timing for a baby because I have much more money with my new job. I'd also like to discuss handfeeding an eclectus in this thread. I did it once before but it was more than 4 years ago and the baby was close to weaning. I prefer to use a bent spoon as my feeding tool. Thank you everyone!
