eclectus care

Hello! This is definitely not my first time having a bird in my home but it is my first time with an Eclectus, and I would love to bend the ear of those who are happily owned by one. Last week, I adopted a 6y/o Ekkie who has so far acclimated very well to his new home and gotten very...

Hi all! So, after recently getting my first bird (a lovely little conure, she’s a delight), I’ve found that this has rekindled something of an obsession with ekkies! I met one for the first time when I was a child, she was a beautiful girl who was kept at a feed store I used to go to. I was...

Hello everyone! I just signed up for this forum in hopes that I can get some swift advice. I am currently watching over two parrots while a friend of my roommate's sister moves out of state. She estimates she will need me to watch them for a few months but is also open to permanent adoption...

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...

Does anyone have experience with caring for a bird with PBFD and possibly have any pointers? Pickle's avian vet rang back today and told me that the blood sample she took displayed low white blood cell numbers (that's about all they got from that as he put up a fight and they didn't get much...
