Hello,
I have a new baby eclectus, had him just over a week now, he is 15 weeks old. He doesnt seem interested in playing with toys though. I have been doing a lot of reading how they love toys and Ive still yet to see it.
He seems to be a very happy boy, and is learning to use his wings and landing in certain spots. Still trying to work out his favourite foods although he loves grapes to bits and sort of does little sounds almost like growling when he is eating them, but I know I cant give him a lot of grapes. He likes to make little sounds after dinner when he is starting to settle before bed, even when he has started to fall asleep he is almost talking ( parrot chatter ) in his sleep , it seems to us anyway and sooooooooo cute.
But he seems to want to be around us all the time , we have given him heaps of attention and he stays with us the majority of everyday. I have tried to use toys when with him, but he just seems content to sit with us and stare at times, although I did try to discourage this , loves to sit on our shoulder and almost has his face in ours observing our faces, loves cuddling us when he is nestled on our chests.
We can see he is a very happy baby and loves his showers but all the things I had read , isnt quite him with toys or food.
Help much appreciated,
Robyn
