My story

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

Hal
Eclectus
Fostered by Kirsten & Shawn of Tampa, FL

Hal is a male Eclectus who has a hatch date of 1996. He lets us hold him and pet him a little bit and we speak really nice and soft to him, but he mostly prefers the comfort of his cage. I'm sure that with time he will become more comfortable with his new surroundings and with us and be more social. We sprout fresh seeds every day which he loves (no more than 5% of the diet for ekkies!), and he has several fruits and vegetables to choose from in addition to a mix of 3 pellets. He is eating well, but due to his previous junk food diet, he isn't that excited about vegetables yet! He seems to enjoy baths, although it is obvious he had not previously had them on a regular basis. He has been making lots of Eclectus cooing noises and other jungle sounding noises, but he hasn't been talking, although he has recently begun saying "Hello". He does seem happy, and he plays a lot, he spins around in his cage and chews on his toys. He has a follow up visit with the vet soon as he is currently being treated for a bacterial and fungal infection, which we should be able to clear up easily. Hopefully once his infections are cleared and his diet is normalized, he may let some of his feathers grow in!

Update: Hal has more feathers growing in every day, and his color is looking better. He is enjoying more vegetables now, and his favorites are corn, broccoli, red peppers and cauliflower. Hal recently attended our annual fundraiser, Fashion, Feathers and Fur and he did great! He went to EVERYONE and was so sweet and social!!
