Lol true I totally forgot to mention his name! Such a bad mom
His name is Croky. Little explanation about the name: I'm originally from Belgium, currently living in New Zealand. Croky is the name of a brand of potato chips in Belgium and their logo is a green parrot, hence the name.
Pictures don't seem to work right now, I'll try and figure it out
Croky is super cute. He's only been with us for two weeks, but even after a few days he was already potty trained. He tends to squawk quite a bit in the morning and the evening, not a loud scream. What I learned from this forum is that this is apparently normal eckie behaviour....
He's currently eating veggies (mostly sweet potato, carrots, bell pepper...), fruit (apples, oranges, berries, pommegranate,...) and sprouts. A few times a week he gets a teaspoon of seeds and a teaspoon of pellets. His diet is what I'm most worried about since I've read that this is pretty hard to get right with eckies. So any tips are welcome!!
He sleeps a long time, goes to bed at around 8pm and wakes up at 7am (it's springtime in New Zealand, days are getting longer). He sleeps in a room without curtains so he can see when the sun comes up... or is that not how that works??
He's alone from around 8.30am until 4.30pm, but when we're home he's constantly outside his cage and spending time with us, playing, cuddling or just watching whatever we're doing.
Oh and we also have a dog and a cat both of them are quite old, 8 yrs and 13 yrs, and couldn't care less about the little flying thing we brought home. The dog is more interested in all the food Croky is getting, but that's about it. It doesn't help that Croky noticed and sometimes throws a little bit of food on the ground... We never leave them alone though!
That's a little bit more about us, any tips are always welcome!!
