eclectus

Hello, I just got a male Eclectus 3 days ago. He's 4 months old approx. I live in UAE (from America), and sometimes the pet supply stores are limited. The salesman in the pet "souq" didn't even know what sub-species my Bento is!! I wasn't going to get him, but drove all the way home and...

So today I played Bella a YouTube video of Christina Grimmie singing Elastic Heart by Sia ... I swear she was trying to sing along! After the third time I played it to her, of the bits she did attempt in her mumbled squawky way, she actually hit the right notes as she seemingly started...

I was wondering if anyone could recommend a flight harness for my Bella (she's a vosmaeri eclectus.) I'm guessing there's going to be different brands available and I'm not really sure where to start. Are they all typically of the same quality or are there any to be avoided? I'd hate to buy...

Hey Guys!!! So I have a 8 month old female (got her at 3 months) . Just up until about a few weeks ago, she's been a quiet bird for the most part... she will squawk occasionally when she gets excited and talks to herself a lot during the day ( I work from home so half the time she is with me...

Ok guys, so sorry to keep posting but this will be the last question filled post for a while I promise! So, we have made the decision to bring home the little baby Timneh African Grey, his name is Oliver. My wife and I have been like 50 times over the last few months and so it is anything but...

So I'm back again.. I STILL have not made a conclusive, definite decision.. But I am getting close. Here is where I am at. The same breeder I am talking with has just taken in 3 adorable little baby Timneh African Greys. Of course she told me, and of course I went and met them, and of course I...

Hi, Last month I got a bonded pair of eclectus and during the last week i'm noticing that the female is feeding the male and not vice versa. Is this normal? Till now i'm not seeing the male feeding the female. Do you think that it's wise to open access to the breeding box? Or Should I Wait...

not whole, not slices, not cooked, not raw, not mushed, not cubed, not shredded, not mixed in with my favorite foods, no way, no how. Carrots are absolutely NOT edible. Of course if you buy an organic artichoke and spend all morning cleaning and cutting off every single spike and then...

My first parrot was a huge Congo African Grey I got when I was 12. When I went to college, my parents rehomed him against my wishes and knowledge. Fast forward many years and my husband and I have fostered many birds, including a plucking CAG (among many other species.) My husband decided it's...

Got Uglow a new toy yesterday. This one had chunks of coconut hulls hanging from it to which he went nuts over. 10 minutes into it he had a sneezing fit that wouldn't stop. I took the toy away from him and put him in the shower until it cleared up. I took the toy apart and removed the...

Hey all - Im new to this community, but my husband and I are doing research in to whether an Elcectus Parrot might be a good fit for our household. I do not have any allergies to birds, but my husband does tend to be allergic to animals, birds included. We currently have a hypoallergenic breed...

Hello All! My name is Tammy and I am new to this forum, although I have recently posted a thread concerning my new Ekkie, Kodi. I am not only new to this thread but also new to Eclectus Parrots. I previously had a Congo African Gray, whom I adored. (Sadly, I lost him in a nasty divorce.) I am...

5 year old Eclectus

hello everyone! This is my first post so hopefully i remember to include as much info as possible. So! Ive got an eclectus parrot, hes a male, and hes about 16 months old. His name is max. He's absolutely beautiful and such a sweet heart. Hes been around cats before, which he is not scared of...

I can't believe I am actually posting this. I love my eclectus very much, but I am backed into a corner where I have no other option but to find her a new home. So here it goes... I have had Nalani, my 3 1/2 year old female Solomon Island Eclectus, since she was 8 weeks old. I've hand fed...

Hi I just bought a 10 months old eclectus from an owner who had him for 6 months. I have him for like almost a month now. Im just wondering how do I let the bird get bonded to me? Hes still shy n wouldn't step up sometimes after a month but he already knows how to do the turn around target trick...

Hi all, I am new here and really looking forward to the insight of others who know what its like living with a parrot ! Heres my story, Ill try to make it short and spare you the dramatics. Two and a half years ago I adopted a female Eclectus who I named Coco. She was 4 years old...

I am an owner of two Eclectus parrots, both around 15 or 16 years old. I got Winston as a baby and I adopted Ruby 1-3/4 years ago. They do live in the same room but do not interact. Ruby has in the past displayed to Winston, but he was a bachelor bird for so long, he's utterly clueless...

Hello! i just created an account so i could get on here and see if anyone can help me figure this out. My name is Heather and i had been looking for a male eclectus for over a year when i finally found one for sale near me. i didnt want to pay a breeder so i was hoping one would pop up that i...
