eclectus

Hi i bring up couple of eclectus(not for breeding), and its first time laying eggs. i think my parrot failed to hatching, because more than a month has passed. i'm trying to remove nest box, but female eclectus dosen't show up her whole body outside(just her head!) so i can't pick her out. How...

Hey guys! So I recently bought my first eclectus parrot!! (when I say new, I mean REAL NEW, about two week ago) I'm having a variety of problems with him: - he wont eat the chop I made him (leafy greens, carrots, corn, bell pepper, chills, quinoa, oats, cucumbers, corn, a little bit of egg...

So i went on a trip for about a month and a half and my mom had been taking care of him. (Male eclectus 1yr) As soon as i got back i got him out of his cage and he was letting me hold him and kiss him and cuddle him. Not even two minutes after he flew away from me back to his cage. (my fault for...

Hi everyone - I have a male Eclectus that I just agreed to accept for rehome. He's in another state, coming home in a month and I feel like I could use all the advice possible :) He attempted to be used for breeding but didn't produce viable clutches, so the owner decided to let them go. I'm...

Hello, If this isn’t allowed here, please delete. I am searching for an Eclectus parrot baby or young adult. Will have an excellent home with all of his or her needs and requirements met and lots of love and attention. I have an avian veterinarian also. Thank you! Cathy

Hello! This is definitely not my first time having a bird in my home but it is my first time with an Eclectus, and I would love to bend the ear of those who are happily owned by one. Last week, I adopted a 6y/o Ekkie who has so far acclimated very well to his new home and gotten very...

Ok so I suddenly have a bunch on mites on/in the floor of one of my Aviaries. None on the pair of birds in that aviary yet and I have also used avian insect liquidator to prevent it from happening. I don't clean the floors super regularly but it's still done regularly enough. Now in the...

Hey guys I’m curious to see how often and for how long your birds are just bouncing around and hyper!! I’d also like to know what species you guys think is the most chill, play time every day of course but not all day haha The birds I’m really interested in right now are derbyan parakeets...

Hi all, I have an 18 year old female Eclectus who's been with me since she was 3. Over the past year or so she has been damaging her lower beak, sometimes it is a small crack in the center, sometimes it breaks off a small piece. I have her beak trimmed every 2-4 weeks which usually keeps it...

I’ve seen some people refer to eclectus as boring, “display” birds that never move except to eat and poop! Is this true? Do they just sit there? I feel like this is rooted in a lack of appropriate care and attention but I want to hear some other opinions because I really love these birds (I’m...

hello, I adopted my 12 week-old baby male Eclectus two weeks ago. Before his arrival, the breeder contacted me 2 days prior to his adoption date with concerns about his behavior. She said that ever since his brother got adopted, his behavior has become aggressive. I believed this story because I...

Hi everyone, I’m sure some of you have seen posts I’ve made about many parrot species as im researching all my options! I’ve come to the forums today to get some opinions about my compatibility with a couple species These are: African greys (timneh mostly) Eclectus Amazons Hahns macaws Meyers...

Hi, to start off, I'm rather desperate on trying to find a way to help discourage my eclectus from screaming. I live in Singapore, in one of the many skyscrapers here. I'm totally unsure of how my eclectus' condition is like as I found it while it was lost (it probably flew away from its...

this all came up as i was searching for adoptable birds on a site like craigslist and came across many birds who i would, given the opportunity drop everything to go and get them out of their current situation. now bear with me lol hypothetically (im a big hypotheticals person lol) if the...

Hi all! So, after recently getting my first bird (a lovely little conure, she’s a delight), I’ve found that this has rekindled something of an obsession with ekkies! I met one for the first time when I was a child, she was a beautiful girl who was kept at a feed store I used to go to. I was...

Hello, I've recently entered the process of getting a baby male Eclectus. The situation is that the store where I'm getting him from hatches the babies and takes care of them for several months before they can be taken home. I'm in that phase now, my Eclectus turned 2 months old last week. I...

Hello, I have very young Eclectus (~4 months old) and she always lets out a few loud screams when she hears any beeping (turning on the aircon, microwave, etc.) Now, it isn't much screaming and I don't mind it much, but it's very loud and I presume it's because she's afraid. Is there a...

listen, i know we really dislike vetafarm here ESPECIALLY for ekkies, BUT how do we feel about occasionally giving an ekkie some of this: Vetafarm Forest Fusion Lorikeet "Formulated by veterinarians and made with fresh Australian ingredients, Vetafarm’s Forest Fusion Lorikeet diet has been...

I have a four month old female eclectus parrot named Emu and today she hasn't been eating as much as she usually does. We have had her for just over a week and she had been eating fruits, seeds and veggies. Today she started eating as usual and then stopped. Since this morning she has been very...
