So, some of you guys may be annoyed with me going back and forth between birds. But I've kept with the conure and brought back one of my old favorites, the Eclectus! Most of you guys know my experience, I volunteer at my local aquarium which has birds from budgies to cockatoos and I have a professional bird trainer there who's dedicated to helping me. I am a student, so I have an hour in the morning and around two-three hours after school to spend with the bird. I have a bearded dragon so prepping fresh fruit and vegetables is no problem. I understand Eclectus (eclecti??) need fresh food purely instead both fresh food and pellets like the conure. But like I said, it's not much of a problem for me. This is my first bird, but I know how to handle large birds and I know basic training because of my experience.
So basically to sum it up, is diet the only issue with Ekkies
And should I get a blue crown conure and get an Ekkie ( the bird I really want) after the conure as a second bird?
And finally, why do people put large birds out of the question for students even if they have plenty of time on their hands?
Thanks!
