Eclectus Parrot

Eclectus Parrot Training

If you are looking for a unique parrot, one who blends into families and is quiet and gentle, then you have found the right place. We at Bird Tricks have just the parrot for you. It is every bit as unique as the name. It is called the Eclectus Parrot.

This lovely parrot is unique in two different ways. The first is their dimorphic coloration. Males are usually green with red feathers under the wings. The females are a rich red with different colored bands on their tail feathers. The second is the hair like quality they have in the feathers on their heads, necks, breasts, and bellies. Each feather has single strands, instead of being all melded together like other parrots are. The Eclectus Parrot behaves differently than other parrots and their signaling communication is also different.

Here at Birdtricks we also offer Eclectus Parrot Training that uses methods to gain your Eclectus Parrot's trust as a first step in building a strong bond between you and your Eclectus.  Once that initial bond has been built it's much easier to implement the rest of our training methods to turn your Eclectus Parrot into the bird you've always wanted.

For diet, this parrot eats nuts that have been shelled. You will see them diving into a dish of fruit and vegetables as well. Many of them simply don’t care what they eat, as long as they are eating.

You need to be careful and not feed this bird a primarily pellet based diet as it can lead to health complications.  Heavy on the fruits and veggies is always best. As with other parrots, hand raising these marvelous animals is the best way to go. This way they are used to human touch and love from the beginning of their lives. This also goes a long way to helping them become more family friendly. Eclectus parrots a.k.a Eclectus Roratus can develop behavior issues just like any other bird so if you have eclectus parrot biting problems our training methods will help stop those.

To enjoy your Eclectus Parrot, its best to have a room set aside just for him, plus know that bringing friends into the house will have to be done on appointment basis only so the bird can get the care and rest in the home that it needs. The eclectus bird just like any other parrot needs 12hrs of sleep to be in the best mood possible and having it's own room greatly helps with this.
