Hello all I am a new member as of today and also have added my first bird to the family a couple weeks ago. He is a 5 mnth old male eclectus. Ok we have been reasearching eclectus's for a while now and we went ahead and got one and from everything we have read it says that pellets should not be your birds main source of food. We know we are suppose to feed fruits and veggies but the breader gave him alot of pellets and seeds and that is all he really want to eat since we brought him home. He like the crunchy food he can break up. We have tried every fruit and veggie combo and cinamon on top and all he like is chick peas, corn, and kidney bean. But if you get him pellets or drie food he goes nuts. So is there a way to get him off the pellets or a food I may have missed? And also how much of the pellets is ok? We just bought some Kaytee Natures Bennefits and have been giving him a little at a time. We thought it might be better than the pellets cause it all natural. Also the breeder had him water bottle trained and it doesn't seem like he drinks alot. Sorry this is long but I want to make sure I'm getting him the best possible treatment and food. He also has just got comfortable with us as to were he will step up and socialize with us. But he does have some cage agression as to where we can't reach in to his cage without him attempting to remove a finger. Any ideas on how to break that? And when he is on your arm he does what I would say is preaning (if thats spelled right) and pinches the crap out of you. Any help would be appreciated.
