Answer by Tina
Oh ekkies, I have a red-sided myself.

It depends on the sub-species, biakis cost a lot more since they are especially rare, Vosmaerie cost more too, along with Grands

The cheapest are probably red-sideds and solomon islands

the average is anywhere from $ 800 and up

They cost a lot more though when you get into vet bills, cages, toys, food, and playstands. They also have a specialized diet.

How much do Eclectus Parrots cost?

I;v been looking to buy a bird. Not noisy, not hard to take care of, and with a good temper. I dont know if there is suck an animal that doesn’t cost a fortune but I was looking at the Eclectus Parrot and it has everything I’m looking for exept I just don’t know how much it would cost.

my eclectus parrot isn’t talking near as much as I think he should be, and he is 6 years old. Please read ?

I have a male eclectus parrot and he has a pretty wide vocab range, however he doesn’t use it that much.

If we put him out in the tree, he will sometimes yell random stuff to people as they walk by, but when its just me and him sittin down on the couch watchin TV, he rarely talks when I talk to him.

He makes alot of noises and we talk to him alot to try to get him to say something back, or maybe to chatter more with us…but he just sits there and looks at us.

I was wondering if anyone has any suggestions on how to get my eclectus parrot to talk more???

Also…he talks ALOT when we cover his cage and just sit in the room…he will just go through his vocab late at night if you sneak into the room without him knowing you are there…its almost like he’s shy??? we are soooo nice to him, and we love him very much, just want the little guy to talk more!!

1. The Red-sided Eclectus from New Guinea, to the north of Australia. It is the most popular Eclectus in Australia, and highly popular in other lands as well. With plumage that seems to be hair rather than feathers, the male sports emerald green with blue in the bend of his wings When he flies, red flashes from beneath the wings. The female has a red head, maroon body, deep blue to purple breast feathers, and a tail that ends in a pale red-pink to orange.

2. The Solomon Eclectus native to Bismarck and the Solomon Islands, north of Australia. Males have yellow-tinted green bodies with dark blue wings, edged in green. The upper side of the tail is green with yellow edging. The underside of the tail is black, edged with a thin band of pale yellow. Females have stunning red plumage, with dark blue under-wings and a band of dark blue running to the nape. Wings are the same as the male – red tails have pale edging.

3. The Vosmaeri Eclectus native to Moluccas, Indonesia. Males have a bright green body, with oval patches of bright red on upper thighs, widening across the body when wings open. The tail is blackish blue, tipped with pale yellow. Females have bright lavender breasts, with red bodies and heads. The nape of the neck, upper mantle, and wing bend show deep lavender. The wings are deep red, tails cadmium-yellow beneath, dark red on top, and a band of yellow.

The Multilingual Eclectus

A man passing a pet shop sees 3 beautiful Solomon Eclectus priced at $1,500.
He goes into the shop and asks, “Why such high Eclectus parrot prices?”

”Each of them speaks five languages,” says the salesman.

”Five languages!” exclaims the man. “Do they speak Yiddish?”

”Sure,” says the salesman.

The man looks at the Eclectus again. “My mother lives all alone in the Bronx,” he says, “and a bird would be good company for her,” He pays the $1,500, asks to have a parrot delivered to his mother, and goes on his way.

The next day, he calls his mother and asks, “Mom, how did you like the Eclectus parrot I sent you?”

”Oh son, it was delicious!” she says.

”What do you mean delicious?”

”I made soup out of it – came out great!”

”But mom, that parrot spoke five languages!”

”So, why didn’t he say something?”
