Hi. If you throw everything you know about birds diets out the window and can afford to feed them you will be ok. They can be noisy at dusk if alone. The girls are more self sufficient as they spend more time alone in the wild. As long as they have toys, a very large cage and are allowed out when you come home they are ok. They like a routine so they will cope ok if they know when to expect you. I will add a link to their habits in the wild so you can get an idea of why they do what they do.
Most prefer the more laid back male as they are more nurturing and gentle.
Food is key to keeping them healthy.
In the wild their diet consists of fruit, nuts, seeds, flowers and nectar, obtained from the tree canopy. I have a female. She just wants to cuddle all day but will let me know when she is cross.
I feed her mainly fruit and veg. My weekly shopping list includes grapes, green beans, pear, apple, snowpeas, broccoli, plum, bok choy, a passionfruit half so she can pick out the seeds (her fav), whole snap peas, pumkin, whole chilli, capsicum, cucumber and some pomegranate. All raw. She has some frozen peas and corn a few time a week. I offer her 6-7 from this list every day.
To accommodate her need for nectar she has a small amount of Lorikeet wet mix and every few days which she loves and also has a sweet potato mash. She has a bowl of nuts and seed mixed with pellets. (the ones made from alfalfa) and an eclectus mix. The dry mix bowl is available all day. The wet is given for a couple of hours in the summer and longer in the cold months. At night she gets more fruit and veg, Eclectus are slow eaters and don't finish their morning fruit and veg in 2 hours which is why I offer more fruit at night. People mistake their slowness for not wanting much fruit and veg but they are grazers, so on the weekends offer their fruit 3 times a day if you can. Good luck.
