Hello everybody, I am very new to this!
Over Christmas, we found an Eclectus parrot in our garden.
We have taken him to the vets and followed up on lost bird ads, but no luck. Somebody must miss him terribly, but until someone comes up, we are more than happy to care for him. We have no history about him whatsoever, but have done lots of research and want to give him the best life while we have him.
I have been trying to feed him a healthy diet of fresh veg, salad, and fruit- minimal nuts and seeds and have even started sprouting, but he is not having it. He is fine with some things, but just throws out the stuff I think is best for him like dark greens and other things high in vitamin A. I also NEVER see him drink or go near any water. I've tried spraying him, but he doesn't care for that either. He's quite tame, but is a bit aggressive and destructive when it comes to food. He is always trying to get into things that aren't good for him like when I'm cooking or preparing mine or my families food. I'd just really appreciate some tips and advice please! Trying our best!
Thank you in advance!
