Sprinting down the street
Hi everyone! Couple of days ago i posted a thread about me looking for an addition to my mini flock. So after going through more than 30 shops in the same area, I couldn’t find a bird that’s in a good condition and at a reasonable price. Local shops seem to not care about the birds they’re selling at all. Seen so many sick birds there it pains my heart.
But, I found two options online: Galah, age: 1.8 years old, tame, looks healthy with a nice plumage. For some reason previous owners are looking for a new home for him. I’m also not sure if it’s a he or she (maybe someone can tell?). The price is also high, but I believe he was well taken care of, so I don’t mind paying in this case. I’m going to go look at him tomorrow.
another option: a month old baby Eclectus. I have previous experience with hand feeding And weaning a bird, so this is not a concern to me. My concern is that he will perceive me as his mom and will bond more with my husband how it happened with my IRN, Zazu. He prefers my husband, and I was the one hand feeding him.
Any advices on these species? And is there a chance of baby Eclectus bonding to someone else if I hand feed him?
and maybe there’s a thread about pros and cons of each species?
