Eclectus Parrot Rescue Part 2


Here's an update by Nelson on Amber, the female eclectus parrot which I believed is a red sided based on its appearance:

Day 4 and 5
These two days, Amber have been going out gaigai (excursion). Saturday we went Fort Canning, had a fun time day and Rane helped to clip Amber's nails. Everybody commented that Amber was tamed and a very good girl. She's overweight and many says she looks like a hen! Haha!!

Amber with another bird friend.


After that, we went to walk walk at orchard with her on my shoulders! I even smuggled her into the toilet and into Hereen! Hahahz... We had dinner at marina south with my friend and she was busy munching corn while we te steamboat.
She KO immediately when we reached home at 9pm. Sunday we went Serangoon to see birds. She accompanied me for 3 hours conducting my cello lesson before going to GW and other shops. She must have been very cold in the aircon room. Reached GW (Goodwill Bird Shop) and its the most damaging time!

The BBB virus came! We bought Pellets which smell soo soo soo nice,remind me of morning cereals! Also I bought some toys, A HUGE cuttlefish bone, 4 wood perches and a bottle of very expensive supplement! Oh!

Not forgetting her new big big cage too! (time to scrap the old and rusty one!)

Mr Chua commented that Amber is very guai and very healthy! She just needed some energy! Mr chua also put on a S hook on her leg for free so that she can stay on the perch for a longer time His skill is so good that Amber didnt know it was on till now!


Thanks Nelson for the update.
Glad Amber experience such a dramatic positive change in lifestyle after she came into your care!
