Hi everyone,
My 11 y/o eclectus, Bibi, has been acting really weird the past couple of weeks, and Iām not sure if sheās nesting? I bonded a lot more with her recently after I noticed she really liked being petted on her back (which Iāve now learned you shouldnāt do!), but soon after she became super obsessed with following me around everywhere, wanting to be right there and cuddling up wherever I went. Normally sheās pretty independent.
She has also been hanging out under the sofa a lot and in quiet corners whereby itās hard to get her out; she hasnāt been interested in her favorite foods and rubs her beak on my hand a lot, or on the ground while Iām petting her. She hasnāt laid any eggs anywhere but she just acts really sad and lethargic lately and makes more clucky sounds than usual, plus holds her beak open permanently.
I took her to the vet yesterday to make sure her change in behavior is nothing serious, and other than needing to lose a few pounds, she said she seemed healthy. Any ideas whatās going on? Or how to encourage her back to normal?
Thanks for reading!
