I purchased and 11 month old eclectus 2 weeks ago. The breeder told me is was very sweet and he seemed to be at the bird show. The ride home scared him because my jeep is loud. After about 4 days I let him out of the cage. He has never bitten me but he does bluff. He will even put his beak on me but wont bite down. He stays out of the cage most of the day because I work from home. He is protective over his food even when I bring him more. He seems to be afraid because he shakes when I pick him up but he will always step up on my finger. I am able to touch his back but he watches me closely. I read that if you put a towl over their head so they can't see and hold them they will not stress and will learn that you don't intend to harm them. Does any one have any advice? I don't want to make him worse.
