HAHA Ekkies have a habit of being 'garbage guts', especially at that age. Just monitor his weight regularly to make sure he isn't 'overeating', although as long as you are feeding fresh, healthy foods, this probably won't happen.

Sure is, there are subtle differences in colour pattern between subspecies. Size also varies, Vos are a little larger than RS. There are 9 (arguably 10) separate subspecies of Eclectus. Many have been interbred in captivity though.

It's amazing how much young parrots eat. We have yet to find something that Ruby, our 4 month old CAG, won't gobble down.
