1 male Eclectus, Poe.
Hello all. Haven't been that active - other things to procrastinate with. :p
Anyway, so I just got sick of the screaming and started clicking and saying "nice noise" whenever Poe would do this adorable winey sound... and presto! New trick learnt in 2 days.

He also plays with bottle caps and a piece of plastic pipe like they're formidable foes worth defeating.

Here we are:

Poe is not only beautiful, he's very smart as well. I noticed Poe is flighted, I hope you have an avian harness for him, that way you can take him outside and teach him to return to you in case he gets loose.

Yes, he has a harness, and while putting it on is easy, taking it off is always a battle as steps in all the loops and tries to step up the whole time. He's also pretty selective with the recall. He knows it, and he gives me this thoughtful look when I ask, but typically if I don't have a clicker in my hand, he shrugs me off. Especially outside he gets really distracted and scared of new places. Lots more work needed.
Thanks everyone.
 
I loved the videos! Seeing that little duck butt reminds me how my own Jax was as a baby so many years ago! Poe has an adorable little voice!
 
I wish more people would post videos of their Eclectuses. As a person who's still researching them/hoping to have one someday it's nice to see them!
 
Poe is an absolute cutie!! Hehe, I'm gonna try to teach Nalani the "cute noise" trick. He's certainly a little goof ball. Thank you for sharing!
