Shakira my female was bought for my husband……she hates him and charges the cage and growls at him. She has bonded to me which is fine. She is 19 years old and has never talked. She only honks! Any idea why?

Some birds like to make noise and some don’t. Not all birds will mimic our speech. My guess would be that she may not have heard or had the need to learn how to mimic humans in her earlier life.
What is her reaction to other Ekkie sounds?

Eclectus parrots are not known for being proficient speakers. Even some amazons and African greys never say a word. Each bird is an individual.

We dont have another eclectus but she doesnt react to our other parents. In fact, Either she hides under paper or in a box in her cage. Thr door is left open when I’m home. She loves the box and she stays in there alot. She does come out when im in the room and she does come out to eat. Considering removing the box….any thoughts

I think that box is giving nesting ideas, which can lead to aggression... Of course I am no expert.
