What is going to happen to my female eclectus parrot when I go to college??
Category: Eclectus Parrot Forum
Question by xx33jennnnxx33: What is going to happen to my female eclectus parrot when I go to college??
I’m a high school junior and going to college soon. I have a 2.5 year old Solomon Island Eclectus female. She is completely bonded to me and has attacked other members of my family several times.
I don’t know what she’s going to be like when I leave. I don’t want her to get stressed. I really don’t want to leave her, but I don’t think that’s an option.
I’m thinking about getting another bird for her, but she might not get along with it.
Any ideas on what I should do??
* the college im planning on going to is an hour away…so my plan is to commute back and forth if taking her with me is not an option
* i would never give her away…shes a member of the family… I was just considering another bird just so she would have some company during the day or whenever I wasnt there
* i take care of her the most : feed her, play with her, etc. shes my little buddy, i have her out most of the day. my sister and my mom hold her alot, my dad doesnt even attempt to even touch her, but now my mom not so much because she was bitten a few times. I think this is because my bird senses the fear and that makes her bite
* and yes the biting is a fairly recent thing
* she even bit me once because I took her toy away… which is im sure a sign of dominance or her hormones kicking in
* it was probably my fault for doing this, but i took her toy away because i was going out and had to put her in the cage…but i picked up the toy first
*i know its important to ignore the behavior when she bites or something similar. but when that happens to my mom, she reacts before thinking. i dont know what to do so my mom doesnt do this. ive trained my bird she knows whats good and whats bad, but with my mom giving reactions like screaming or something when she is bitten, that undos everything that i taught her if that makes sense
* but thank you soo much for all the great info… i really appreciate it

Some dorms allow small caged pets. If your’s doesn’t you should consider moving into an apartment or move in with a room mate.

Is this a suitable diet for an eclectus parrot?
Category: Eclectus Parrot Forum
Question by Meleah: Is this a suitable diet for an eclectus parrot?
To all those bird lovers out there! Here is the diet i have my ekky on, do you think it is a suitable diet? What am i missing?
I put in diced mixed veges, which include carrot, zucchini, red chilli’s, red capsicums etc etc. It stays in there all day, as he likes to take his time eating. He is indoors, and the house stays cool. Of an evening i put in fresh diced fruit for two hours,throughout the day he has Eclectus pellets and dehydrated fruit. And as his training treat i’m going to start using sunflower seed. I use a calcium suppliement once a week in his water, and also a vitamin and mineral suppliement in his food once a week. I was doing this daily but have been told not to do that, as i am overdoing it with the added vitamins and minerals – as there are alot of it in his pellets.
Thanks birdsandbooks:)you’re great.
The man – That was very useful information Thank you.

Handicapped Eclectus Gracie Scooting
Category: Eclectus Parrot Videos
Gracie is a 6 year old handicapped female eclectus parrot. We do not know her history though at some point an injury caused one of her legs to fuse together in an odd position. Gracie amazes us daily with her love, her patience, and her deciation for showing her humans love. She does not seem to notice her handicap and can do anything a normal bird can. Gracie is blessed with a family who is eager to adopt her and she will be used in educational programs where people will be able to learn all about the wonders and challenges associated with keeping parrots. This video shows Gracie slowly scooting around on the top of her cage.

Why is my Eclectus Parrot Scratching his Neck?
Category: Eclectus Parrot Forum
Question by maggic: Why is my Eclectus Parrot Scratching his Neck?
Long story short.
I got this eclectus plucked and aggressive, completely took him off coloured pellets and nuts and he grew back almost all his chest feathers after eating only fresh food, a few months later I sold him hoping he could have a female. Turns out he went to the wrong home so I bought him back after 6 months and during the time he was fed pellets.
I got him back home now, he was missing his tail feathers and is only lightly plucked around his chest but he keeps scratching his neck on both sides which is the main reason for lost feathers. Other than that he’s as happy as can be, never ever bites me and is full of energy.
Anyone might know why he’s scratching his neck so much?
He was also toe tapping a little but it seems to be going away, he’s now eating cooked beans, peas, brown rice, apples, grapes, yellow/green peppers, dark lettuc, spinach, parsley and other fruits which he ate before when i first got him and had no problems.
Currently don’t have money for the expensive vet in my area but I’m saving up.

The scratching could be an allergic reaction to the pellets, any food he’s eaten or something in the environment. He could also be itchy if he has new pins coming through or his skin is dry. Lots of baths will help him with his itch, a little aloe & water spray will also help & getting back to his natural diet. It may take a little time to recoup from his previous home & stop scratching & get some healthy food into him.
Toe tapping can be common with pellet eating but it can also be from a calcium deficiency or fresh food gone bad. Because he has toe tapped it does mean he is sensitive to certain foods, not all ekkies are sensitive to foods they eat. If he isn’t toe tapping now with you then I wouldn’t worry to much.
I would also suggest you make up a care sheet to go with the next buyer & make it clear to them of the diet they must put the bird on to keep him healthy. Perhaps this will get rid of some people who just want them for their beauty & once they’ve read the care sheet they may put the bird in the ‘too hard basket’. Good for the bird because then he has a better chance of getting a good home.
Good luck

My female eclectus parrot laied an egg at the bottom of her cage?
Category: Eclectus Parrot Forum
Question by : My female eclectus parrot laied an egg at the bottom of her cage?
Its really small and its just sitting there. I also have a male eclectus so he might have fertalized it, but she dosn’t even have a nesting box yet. Also ever since she laied the egg she has been on the opposite side of the cage just sitting there and not moving. She is usually very playful. She almost looks sad. its been this way for a good 3 hours. Can anybody tell me what to do with the egg and what to do with her. at least untill our nesting box comes. Ps. She is not sitting on the egg either.

my bird had a egg once but it wasnt a baby bird egg i think beause my bird ate the yolk from the inside they had 2 other eggs and they took care of it and it hatched so maybe its just the other type of egg …?
What do you think? Answer below!
