Eclectus desperately wants to fly!
Category: Eclectus Parrot Videos
Bongo, my Eclectus parrot, exhibiting some strange behaviour! Talking to more experienced owners, this is an indication that he wants to fly but he can’t see any other perches or high point in the room to go!

Any Eclectus Parrot Owners out ther. . help? 10pnts?

Question by Kylie F: Any Eclectus Parrot Owners out ther. . help? 10pnts?
Needing advise for first time ekky mum. I have on hold a beautiful female ekky that is three months old. by the time i get her she will be just over four months old. The breeder told me not to put her out on our deck during the days as she will get lonely. But i have two quakers and two tiels that also live on the deck during the daytime while im at work and we all spend the afternoons and nights inside together playing for a few hours before bed and also in the morning before i leave to go to work. i only work two days a week and the other days im in and out all the time but always home by about 3pm. My questions are
1.will 4months of age be harder to bond with
2. if she is on the deck next to the other birds isnt that better then stuck inside all day
3. Any advise for when i bring her home and getting her settled?
Thanks for any input

i think having her on the deck with the others is a great idea, just keep an eye on her for the first few weeks till she settles down, if she’s hand reared, then 4 months old shouldnt be a problem, as long as u be persistant and patient with it :)
good idea would be to give it some fruit while its out, if it knows it can eat while with you and be safe, it will be fine :)

Eclectus parrot questions?
Category: Eclectus Parrot Forum
Question by KnotsnSuch: Eclectus parrot questions?
Well, I am seriously considering getting an ekkie. I want a male because the females are so much more agressive. I heard though, that they like a quiet, tranquil home and aren’t much for change. That isn’t really my house, rather, camper. I live in a camper right now but I am moving to an appartment or to a cottage in michigan. I won’t get it until I move though. My mom can be loud, and sometimes yells, I have a golden retriever (who is scared of birds), a cockatiel, an a mouse, and I have a little sister that can be squealy and has the tv going a lot. And we will share a room (but the tv is not in the bedroom where I will be keeping the birds). Does this sound too hectic for an ekkie?
Also, please outline a perfect diet for an ekkie and any brands or products made for ekkies.
And, what is the minimum cage size?

Answer by Milk
A lot of that stuff about Ekkies only coping in a tranquil environment, without kids and stuff is mostly crap that was originally thought that they’re stupid because when they were 1st captured out of the wild they were scared and stood stock still, a trait of Ekkies, when upset or nervous, they stand still, completely still apart from the wildly darting pupils. No it should be fine, although it does depend somewhat on the bird, but mine comes into school (with a class of about 32 kids) almost everyday. He’s still new to it so I’m takin it slow so he doesn’t stress too much. Besides you can tell when they’re stressed coz they get these things called stress lines, its normal for them to have a few, and normal for them to have a little more than a few after the stress of changing homes but if you see barring pretty much all over the bird, cover its cage, get it into a quiet room and leave it there for a day, obviously check its food and water, common sense.
Their diets actually aren’t that hard, pretty much any natural pellet, with no artifical colours or flavours will be okay, supplement this with a seed mix and LOTS and I mean LOTS of fresh food, fresh food makes upto 70% of their diet so always have it handy and remove and replenish daily so it doesn’t spoil. Ask oyur local avaian vet for a good pellet mix. Try to avoid too many nuts because Ekkies are prone to fatty liver disease and aren’t used to a high-fat diet.
Minimum cage size is about: 2ft x 3ft, they say that width is more important than height. In cm’s its more acurate: 140h x 92w x 64d.
I hope this helps!!

I have a sun conure, would it be okay to get an eclectus parrot?

Question by ?: I have a sun conure, would it be okay to get an eclectus parrot?
Hi. I have a sun conure that is about a year and 3 months old. I have had him since he was weaning and I hand fed him for a month or so. I went to my local pet store today and saw a male Solomon Island Eclectus. I am wondering, if I kept the Sun Conure in my bed room and the Eclectus in my living room how would the Sun Conure react? Would he be jealous if he saw the Eclectus, and could I introduce them and make them friends or atleast know each other are there? Can you tell me about their personality and if they are good with other birds? And please show me an example cage that I could house him in. THANKS :)

I realize this doesn’t really answer your question, but just a warning. Eclectus parrots are prone to carrying PBFD..(beak and feather disease). IF you do buy this one, see if the pet shop will get it tested before you take it home. Especially because you have a younger bird at home.
