I lost my home in a house fire and my best friend Harley. Harley was a male Eclectus parrot. My neighbors saved my two dogs who were right next to the back door but were unable to reach my baby and he perished in the fire. I am so broken hearted and miss my sweet green baby so much! I have the oportunity to adopt Harley's little brother. His owner needs to rehome him and I am very intrested in adopting him.
My home is being rebuilt and I wanted to ask how long before I can safely introduce a new Eclectus to the environment. The walls will be painted with water based latex, new carpet with no adhesives and new hardwoods. They had to gut the house and start over with new insulation, sheet rock, flooring, cabinets, and bathroom stuff. They painted the framework with a white sealer to eliminate the smeel of smoke absorbed in the wood. I don't have a choice in these things as it an insuance thing so I am stuck with toxic fixes. I have lost so much including my best friend and while I want to get another one as soon as possible, I don't want to risk his health in the new home by doing that. My heart hurts.
