If you're able to download ebooks, and have the money for it, The Ultimate Guide to Eclectus Parrots is a wonderful book, at least for a beginner.

The Ultimate Guide to Eclectus Parrots - Information and advice on Eclectus Parrots

I don't know what the community's opinion of the book is, but I read the whole thing front to back a few times and I found that it answered a lot of my questions and gave me a rounded understanding of Eclectus. Plus the author's stories about her own Ekkies are pretty hilarious and adorable!

As someone who is looking into getting an Eclectus in the future, I'd also recommend seeing if there's a rescue or something in your area that has Eclectus or other bird types to interact with. I was 80% sure I wanted an Ekkie until I met one at a local pet store. After that I was 100% sure an Ekkie was for me.

Ekkies are fascinating parrots, quite enigmatic. My female Vos is an incredible cuddler like a cockatoo, but can be very independent as well. Very gentle with me, but look out if she doesn't like you!!
