I have virtually every book written on the Eclectus and this has the most extensive coverage. It’s also current, published in 2003. Chapters include: Genus Eclectus (thorough description and many photos of the Eclectus subspecies); 1968 Expedition to Cape York; Collecting From the Wild (history of Eclectus importations); Captive Breeding Eclectus Parrots (purchasing, which subspecies, housing, keeping indoors, diet, nesting requirements); Keeping Eclectus Parrots Healthy (avian veterinarians, preventative medicine, routine husbandry, sick birds, basic treatment, feather plucking); Removal of Chicks, Handfeeding & Shipping (brooders, intensive care unit, hand feeding, talking to birds, break color, fledglings, future breeders, sale & shipping, after sales), Companion Eclectus Parrots in the United States – this chapter is written by the widely respected Laurella Desborough (housing, feeding, pelleted diets, behavior, veterinarian, keeping your Eclectus happy); and Importance of Keeping Records. Highly recommended.
