I've got a female eclectus now.
Here's why;
My friend had a female ekkie, and also lots of dogs.
Dogs and bird made each other crazy.
Both way to loud and neighbours complaining..
Friend knows i love birds.
Friend gives me eclectus.
Yay!?
I've been wanting a female eclectus for a while now, and now finally that dream has come true!(For free !!)
My friend did not want to just sell the bird to some stranger becouse he really likes the bird so he asked me if i was interested. Well needless to say, i was.
So i introduced the lady to the man of the house.. He instantly froze...
He sat like this for 2 minutes without any movement, i tried poking him to unfreeze him but no response..
In the upcoming hour they've been interacting with each other and seemed to accept each others company.
So i just let them sit together on my monitor as i was playing some video games and all was good.
Then i needed to get something from the store, so i put them in the cage so i could leave the house...
Just as i closed the front door i heard a loud screaming coming from the bird room. so i went and see what was going on, and found them both fighting.
So i've been observing them for a while in and outside the cage to see why they might have been fighting but i cant figure out why exactly.
I do notice that the femal is pretty agressive when eating, like totally nuts crazy. I cant even come near the side of the cage when she's eating becouse she'll start throwing her beak against the bars of the cage.
But outside of the cage she's a wonderfull bird and really likes cuddles.
Any advice?
