Question for Eclectus experts :)

[staceiz21]

Hi
We are picking up our baby eclectus on Sunday but we have to go out for about 2 hours after so my question is do you think it would be too much to leave him alone for 2 hours to settle in (while its quiet) or we should wait until after we've been out then pick him up so we are home with him ?

Btw my name is Stacey and we (my family) are 2 adults and 2 kids

Thanks guys

Letting your baby settling in for a couple of hours by itself isn't a bad thing. Just make sure you have food and water available within the cage before you leave so the baby can explore and eat if he wants to. When I brought my ekkies home, I left them alone in the cage by themselves and they went after their fruit and veggie bowl right away....

Depending on the age of your baby, he should be left either in a cage or if very young in a box..

Hopefully your baby is fully weaned, fledged and eating a variety of foods... So leaving him won't be a problem.

He will probably like the peace and quiet after the move which can be stressful for them. Just make sure he has food and water

just make sure the cage is safe normally if they are gunna get stuck or anything it will happen in the first couple of days, mylah got her toe nail stuck in the joining of her cage on the 2nd night we had her, we never even thought that could ever happen, so just make sure you have checked for any little holes and any toys that the bird can get hurt on
