eclectus

(Apologies if this is located in the wrong place, I am unfamiliar with forums.) My Eclectus -ICP- has been making the head movement periodically over the last two days. I have only had her for about a year, but in that time I have never noticed her doing this particular movement before? She is...

Hi everyone! Couple of days ago i posted a thread about me looking for an addition to my mini flock. So after going through more than 30 shops in the same area, I couldn’t find a bird that’s in a good condition and at a reasonable price. Local shops seem to not care about the birds they’re...

I adopted an eclectus parrot in February and he is very sweet but very stubborn. He is already 15 years old and we don't know what sort of family life he came from. We have taught him to say hello but he wont say or do anything else now. I have budgie that was a very fast learner and Kirby is my...

Just a question for those who might have some insight. My SI Ekkie boy Pancho was hatched in mid-November 2019, so he's about seven months old now. When I last weighed him first thing yesterday morning, his weight was 292 grams. When I brought him home in late March, he was 308 grams, although...

Hi! My name is Danielle. I'm a 27-year-old registered nurse from San Francisco, CA. I recently welcomed an almost-six-month-old Solomon Island Eclectus boy into my home, named Pancho(or "Panchito" if you like). He has been home with me for a little over a week now, and so far, all seems to be...

Hi All, My name is Sean. I adopted a female Grand Eclectus named Lexi. She will turn 15 this year. My only previous experience was with Conures, and Cockatiels. She was plucked bare on her entire body, under her wings, & on top from the front back to where her flight feathers start...

Im thinking of getting an eclectus at some point either adopted or from a breeder, by the time i am planning to get this bird i am hopefully going to be working a nice 9-5 job. I was wondering what entertainment for their birds while they’re not home other eclectus owners here on the forum have...

So ive read or watched somewhere that when you first get a baby birdy you shoud keep them in a smaller flat topped cage, so im thinking although i have a great huge cage for when hes older, that ill keep him in a “large rabbit cage” with a towel on the bottom so that he feel more secure would...

Im thinking of getting a friend for my eclectus, specifically a moustache parakeet, gcc, or a quaker,?any ideas?

Yes, it's definite this time after about a year. After much more time to settle down my schedule, know what I'm getting into more, meeting a couple adult Eclectus', and having a plan for my future. I've decided to definitevely get a male Eclectus. He's really young right now and will be ready...

So yeah, I know I have been gone a long time. Been very busy and not much to post about. Thought I would share a few cute videos. Here's fluffy butt...

Hi, I peek thru here from time to time but this is my first posting. We have a female eclectus that was given to us about a year ago. She has always been a plucker but was just starting to fill back in. For the last couple of months she's been spending most of her time under our recliner...

My boy Harry is a 8-9 year old Eclectus. I adopted him from a family who could no longer care for him 2 years ago. He came to me with arthritis on his left foot. Just last week he broke his left leg we are on the road to recovery. Slowly but surely. Now my question is, anything I should be doing...

Hey everyone, I am relatively new to the Ekkie world. I am the proud owner of a 6 month old eclectus boy named Benji. I got him when he was just over 4 months. He was super quiet for 2 weeks, then in the last month and a half every time he sees me he caws really loudly. It will only start if he...

Hi all! I just wanted to start a thread for any advice or tips and tricks you guys could have for people looking to get an eclectus/new owners! I don't currently have an Eclectus, but I have been doing a ton of research and am seriously thinking about getting one. I never had a bird before, but...

Hello all! I’m Molly. I don’t currently have a bird, but I am looking to get one! I used to babysit a budgie, and have always wanted a bird since I was a kid, just was waiting until the right time. I am seriously looking at Eclectus as they have always been my favorite. I am looking for any...

Hi all, I’m searching wherever I can to try to find a male adult Eclectus for sale or adoption. My Eclectus just passed away He was an older rescue bird. I miss him so so much. Please let me know if there are any adult male eclectuses that need a home. I live in BC, I would travel anywhere...

so my female eclectus plucks a bit, (it’s not very bad) and I have noticed that she has a lot of green and blue at the end of her wings. I think this is visible because of her plucking, as it isn’t visible on the other wing. I would like to know if anyone can tell me what’s wrong? I know that...

So, I am hearing mixed opinions on the safest method to use for putting a deposit down on a baby and then paying the rest at pick up time. I have heard don't do the friends and family option (as you can't get money back if it happens to be a scam), so only use the business option. I have...
