My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

"FERGUS”
Red Sided Male Eclectus Parrot
Fostered by Sooz W of Tampa

Fergus is a red sided male eclectus that is approximately 2 years old. Fergus is coming a long way, he is getting good with step up, but is still a little nervous. He is currently being converted to a diet of mixed beans and brown rice with vegetables and fruits with some natural colored pellets and nuts and he is doing very well with that. He will talk, I have heard him say "I'm a pretty bird" as well as some dog barking sounds and some other words, but not when I am in front of him. I think he's starting to relax - he was VERY QUIET for the first week but now some of his personality is starting to come out. I think with time and patience, he will be an awesome bird. He "bite tests" me but has not been mean about it or tried to take a chunk out of me, so that is a good thing! I also respect him and don't push too hard if I can see he's uncomfortable. Fergus cocks his head when I start whistling Frere Jacques so I expect at some point, he'll start imitating that. He is in perfect feather and is a beautiful bird with a very long life ahead of him!
