[CALVINS MOM]

I have taken my eclectus on a number of occasions to work with me. They are very quiet birds and tend not to bond to one person - great family birds. I didn't recommend them since I thought you were looking for a bird with a "clowny" type of personality. If you don't mind a nice, docile bird, an eclectus is the way to go. I have six! And, like The Outlaw says, the fresh diet is a must for all birds if you want to maintain good health. It's really not as hard as it sounds.
