eclectus baby

I have a 4 month old eckie and I’ve so far have had fun for a little over 2 weeks. He has seemed to start opening up and showing behaviors that seem a bit weird? For one this morning he was acting like he just went nuts. Flapping wings preening fast, and darting his head. I assumed he was bored...

I’m still fairly new here! My 4mo old eckie has (for the past few days) have been occasionally making this sort of high growl whine noise. It doesn’t sound pleasant but he does it so often even when nothing is happening. When I get close he does it so I back off a little bit because I think he...

So I got home today and interacted with Kirby. We had music on and he seemed to like it! He would react to the change in sound and rhythm but no dancing yet. He seemed like he wanted to come down from his perch onto the table with me but he was still unsure. So I stepped him up and held him...

Hi, I’m new to this whole thing so please help me out. :) Just a few days ago I brought my 14 week old female eclectus. I was able to let her come out of her carrier on her own before transporting her into a cage my supplier provided. She is comfortable with me hand feeding her if the food is...

Hello, I've recently entered the process of getting a baby male Eclectus. The situation is that the store where I'm getting him from hatches the babies and takes care of them for several months before they can be taken home. I'm in that phase now, my Eclectus turned 2 months old last week. I...

Hello, I have recently acquired a ~3-4 month old female Eclectus. The breeder had her clipped and her nails trimmed - which results in her having a hard time balancing and moving around. I want to be able to have her develop well and be fully flighted in the future (I don't plan on clipping...

Hello I am new to this forum. Thanks to all those who contribute, its been a wonderful resource. I am hand-raising a baby eclectus. We pulled her from the nest at 3 weeks, and she's 4 weeks now. I have been feeding her AviPlus hand-rearing Phase 2 for parots. My question is on Vitamin A...

We had the wonderful gift of being able to see a baby Eclectus born and nurtured by its parents. To see it growing up from a hatchling has been quite amazing. The male Eclectus does really well with his preening. He takes great care of his feathers. Aside from periods when he's molting, his...

I just had a female SI eclectus sent to me via Delta from a breeder in Texas last night. She is just a little over three months old. I'm sure it was a stressful event for her and she is uncomfortable in her new surroundings. Today(her first full day with me) she has been eating a lot and started...

Hi All...new to this forum, but am very glad I found it. I had a male SI ekkie for 20 years, and just lost him two months ago to cancer. Hardest loss I have experienced in a very long time. I am going to start looking for a new baby boy, as I just can't imagine my life without one...it's way...

He is a character, but an absolute bugger to feed. Still on 4 feeds a day, taking formula from spoon to start, but he looses interests after the first 4, so I crop or syringe tip about 20mLs then the takes more spoons until he is just wanting to cuddle so I crop the last amounts in to ensure...

Hi, I’m looking to get a male Red Sided Eclectus. I found Jane and Scott pretty parrot aviary in Atlanta Georgia and their website is very detailed and they seem to know a lot and specialize in Eclectus subspecies. I want to put money down to reserve the next baby they have but I want to...

Hi All, I have an Eclectus pair. They have bonded and have started breeding. I am still not sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing. :o Rubi, the hen, always lays a double clutch of eggs. Last year, we had our 1st hatchling which sadly passed away a little after 1 month. Now, recently...

My Jasper smells bit musty is that normal? bit like wet sawdust I have showered him for first time doesnt seem to smell as bad now.

My wife let me know our parrot flew into the window pretty hard this afternoon. He was stunned at first, but let her pick him up. He wouldn't leave her shoulder for about 2 hours, had trouble swallowing water initially, and his footing was off (he seemed very clumsy and off-balance). He was very...

This is Marjory. She will be 11 weeks old tomorrow (9/6/2015). I got her when she was 5 weeks old. The person I bought her off told me she is a red-sided, I have researched for weeks now and I cannot find a Red-Sided Eclectus with her colours and markings. What is your opinion??? Thanks...

hello, I've recently purchased a male Eclectus. And the breeder sent me a photo of something she's never seen before, he is only around 10 weeks old and has recently started to GROW black feathers. The other babies are all on the same food. And nothing is wrong with the others.

Hi everyone, I am new to parrot forums. I have a 18 week old (4.5 months) male eclectus parrot named Teddy (aka Big Ted). I have been his mother since he was 9 weeks old. He was on 4 feeds a day then. I have reduced him to 2 feeds per day, 15mls morning feed (half a feed) and he gets 30mls...

Hi, So I just came home with a six week old female eclectus. I had been looking for a Grey, but ended up with an eclectus and didn't know anything about them. I am so surprised that I was sent home to raise this little baby with no prior knowledge of raising a parrot--I thought they had to wait...
