Thought this video was kind of neat. I didn't really learn much, but it's interesting to actually see them in the wild :D

Awesome. Ekkies are players. :hehe:
This explains why ekkies will readilly go to multiple members of the family and to strangers too. They are designed to "play the field". :lol:

it is nice to see the eckies in the wild when i went up there last year that tree with tramp eckie in it no longer exists a cyclone in 2008 bashed it around a little bit more till it fell down in early 2009 it was called the smugglers tree it was called that because in the early 1930s smugglers put spikes into all the way up to the nest of the eckies to raid the young for the pet trade

Eclectus recordings

I found this website last month and have been sharing with other Eclectus owners. Scroll down the page and click on the small circled arrows beneath each recording.

Eclectus Parrot (Eclectus roratus) | on-line sounds from xeno-canto/australia

Recordings of solomons and RS mostly. Distinctive calls of the males and females (in case you haven't heard one or the other). There's also a female calling for feeding; it's bottom left on the page and says "calls of female near nest hole". I recognized that one as typical of female (on eggs or with chicks) asking to be fed. There is some ambient jungle noise of course, so if you are not famliar with Eclectus, know that the loudest call(s) in each recording are the Eclectus!

Enjoy!

Re: Eclectus recordings

That's awesome! Ruby was on top of her cage and stopped what she was doing to come closer and stand real still listening.

I'm going to move this up into the sticky. :)

Thanks for the link! Dante's been really agitated lately with hormones, and now he's just sitting and listening intently! I love listening to these recordings for myself too!

If you type Eclectus into the search bar on the page that it brought you to, itll bring up a link for "Eclectus Parrot." Click that link at it'll give you a great big list of sounds!

The Xeno-Canto link is the one you want. You click on the catalog number at the site. Great sounds of all birds.
