Bringing home a new baby Eclectus..tips

[kslish]

Hello all,
i just purchased a male baby eclectus. He is currently 6 weeks old. I am not able to bring him home until he is weaned, but I do visit him almost everyday. However, the last visit i had my baby was more nibbly then before and her even lunged at me. My hand wasnt even near him at the time. He is housed right now with a Congo African Grey baby. The grey i can pet and has never tried to bite or lung at me. Does my bird not like me? Is this normal behavior? I have been researching for months. I originally want a grey but chose the eclectus for fear that the grey would become a one person bird and I have a 5 yr old son. I love my little baby and cant wait to establish a trust with him. Any tips or information??

i've never had an i only got to visit one at the foster home when i went to meet mya before i was allowed to adopt her. i did want one so the man who was fostering mya let me hold his named romeo, perfect name for him since he kissed me the whole time i was holding him. i don't think your new baby doesn't like you. like human babies they explore with their beak. make sure the breeder doesn't clip before he comes home for his safety especially with a 5 year old in the house. parrots generally don't care for the fast movements of children and he could bite your son out of fear if he can't fly away.

Thank you for the advice. I visited him again today and he wasnt so nibbly. But he did like to taste my fingers..lol. I cant wait to bring my baby Rio home.
