My Male Eclectus seems scared of my new female Eclectus
Hi All
My Male Eclectus seems scared of my new female Eclectus. they don't attack each other, i bought her 2 weeks ago and kept them separate. my boy Stan is 3 in October and my girls Stella will be 1 in December. I have let them out at different times then together as days went on they have checked each other out. now the last two days they are both together in an extra large cadge inside. he keeps his distance and when i open the door to the cadge he gets out quick like thank god! what should I do? Thank you ![]() ![]() Sandra |

I agree, slow down the introductory period before putting them in the same cage. It sounds like Stan is not ready for that level of socialization with Stella.
BTW - love the names - Stellaaaaaaa!!!!!!!

I am sure that Stephen, Anansi will come online soon and will be a valuable source of info to add to the above.
My thoughts are definitely give the poor guy some space, forcing a female on him is no joke!

Re: My Male Eclectus seems scared of my new female Eclectus
Congrats on your new girl. Eclectus do not pair bond in the same way as other parrots and your female is very young. It is always best to have the male be older because females can become really bossy and dominate a younger male. That said it is much too soon to have them sharing a cage. Just go back to having them in their own space and let your boy become comfortable with her in his own time.
