- Red Sided Eclectus: Mango + 17 cockatiels (Pyriet, Phoenix, Joy, Titan, Mégan, Daiquiri, Hera, Amor, Brandi, Halo, Marabi, Dainty, Sterre, Sense, Yeti, Djinti and Merel).
I am very curious as to how to interpret the behaviour of my eccie. Mango is almost 1 year old and behaves very differently with me or my husband.
With me he loves to cuddle, sit or sleep with me, preening me and just being around me. He's very careful and gentle with his beak and never bites me. He prefers to sit with me rather than sitting with my husband (flies back to me as soon as my husband gets him off of me).
With my husband he's very different though. He behaves very much macho-ish, does the eye pinning, bites very hard sometimes and gets really hyper when he plays with him. He also makes a lot of sounds when he's with my husband (and he doesn't do this with me). He does seem to like my husband aswell though.
So in other words he's a completely different bird to each of us. Is this normal and what could it mean? Is he bonding with us in a different way?
