Hi All I'm new to this i love birds a have about 9 pairs budgies 2 baby cockatiel's and a baby Eclectus male recently bought the 2 cockatiel's and Eclectus.I am trying to figure out how old he is.

Help will be appreciated here is a pick of him dont mind the Cockatiel babbys they want heat..lol hope the pic helps

Welcome to the forums.

My guess is that this baby is between 4-5 weeks. Can you share more photos? Is he fully feathered, can he perch yet?

If you are not familiar with hand raising, I'd strongly suggest you take him (and the cockatiel babies) right back to the store and let experienced folks do the raising/weaning. Too many things can (and have) gone wrong when newbies try hand-feeding baby parrots.

Dear god man, those are young birds. Read this like crazy if you won't take them back (you should take them back, I wouldn't even try finishing weaning a bird as large as an Ekkie till ~12 weeks).
