he will think i am nuts ))
David likes nuts. I don't know if he has any babies right now either. Patience!
I bought Jackie from Laurella. He was an adult, but she was not his breeder. People call on her all the time to take birds when they are desperate, or if a family member dies, etc. so she ends up with adults in addition to those she breeds since she is a good person.
Jackie had lived in her aviary for a while (years) and wowza what a specimen he is. If you buy an adult from Laurella you will get a gorgeous bird.
But, not all the adults she has are "pets". Jackie was a calm, gentle hfellow but he did not know about stepping up and was not ready for constant handling. I was looking for a companion for my Lucy and told Laurella I did not care if the bird she chose for me was hand tame.
Well, fast forward 2 years from when I bought Jackie to now, and he has become my shadow. He thinks he needs to be on me all the time and has decided he prefers my company by far over hanging with the other Eclectus. So much for my ideas of him and Lucy.
He is probably 10 years or older. His band does not show his hatch year. He does not talk except for a word that may be hello.
This is Jackie:
