Ossey is a Solomon Island Eclectus

Owner Said: He requires a lot of help getting around at first because of his handicap, but once he has confidence he will run around on the floor. He does get over-confident with heights and/or sometimes his balance will give out on him and because of his underdeveloped wing he cannot slow his descent and will hit the ground hard. It is for this reason we have switched over to cages that are wider instead of taller. He has a mild allergy to kiwi and will toe tap if he eats any, so please try to avoid them. He is quite the chatterbox when he warms up to you. He has quite a wide range of phrases, but three of his greatest hits are: "Come here!", "Good Boy!", and "Whatcha doin'?" He likes beak scritches and will happily step up for nearly anyone. He has difficulty with toys and puzzles, but he's very good at hanging out with people one on one. He really likes music and will sing to himself when he thinks no one is listening. Ozzy is a bird who really enjoys a warm shower, and once he gets used to the bottom of the tub he will stretch and flap his wings and hop around in the water. He likes to sit on shoulders and go for walkabouts, but I would advise wearing a shirt or sweater made from a material he can easily hang onto because he is also prone to sliding off.
