Most of you have met him already but those who haven't, meet Max!







Max is a 6.5 week old Solomon Island Eclectus. He is awesome! He is my first large parrot and I am still getting used to how big he is already and he's only a baby. At 6.5 weeks he is 420 grams, and the average weight for an adult male SI Eclectus is 375-400 grams. He is a beef cake!

I love him! And I am so happy that you guys will get to watch him grow up!

I am so proud omg. He's only 10 weeks old. Eclectus chicks usually don't fledge until 11-12 weeks. This is why he's been such a jerk to feed lately. I am both proud AF and relieved AF becasuse I was starting to fear he was sick and we'd have to travel 2-3 hours away to see a vet.

He's not sick, just motivated!!!

Max died last night.

I don't actually know the cause. He was a little off yesterday and his crop hadn't emptied by dinner so I thought it was just slow crop again.. I gave him some warm water and put him to bed early to give him time to rest and recover. When I got up this morning he had passed away.
