[FONT="]I have read numerous articles and posts discussing the Eclectus dietary needs based on the belief that the Eclectus parrot has a longer gut. Here is a link to an article posted in 2018 proposing that " the diet-related problems that are common in ekkies may be related more to the speed at which they process food than to their gut length."[/FONT]

[FONT="]I was going to post this in Laurasea's Ornithology thread but thought that we could start sharing new and updated Eclectus information here for Species specific discussion. Hope you enjoy the read.[/FONT]
