So my family in law got a green eclectus from somebody who had to move out of the country. When my parents in law went on vacation I took over the care for the green eclectus.
His feathers were really badly in shape and he had been plucking alot. In a month's time with me he grew back almost all of his feathers and got really attached.
So now he is back at my parents in law again for about 4-5 months. He has been plucking alot again, everytime I go to their house the parrot runs towards me and almost every time tries to mate with me.
I am thinking about taking him in with me but:
- How do I stop him from mating with me? He screams if I don't let him.
- How do I stop him from screaming? He can scream very loudly for weird reasons, like when you're eating he will just keep screaming even if he has food, he wants to eat from your plate.
-He is about 10 to 15 years old atm. How much hours would this breed need for a day? Cause I cannot spend more then 2-3 hours a day from monday till thursday, the other days I am free from work.
I know I don't have the time, but I think he'll be better of with me then with my parents in law. They have a red eclectus, she seems to like him but the male does not. Starts screaming and running if she sees her.
So I think that's why he plucks alot, they don't go together and he is stressed. He is not in the same cage, but they were put next to eachother in cage. Now they have moved him away, but I still think he's not in a good environment
