Eclectus parrot for sale

Eclectus parrot for sale,the lovely Eclectus parrots are attractive and intelligent birds. They are one of the better talkers and delight in making various sounds heard around the home, such as the microwave or the telephone.

Eclectus Parrots have a laid back personality that their humans adore. Eclectus parrots are quite content to sit on a perch for hours at a time playing with their toys. They do not like commotion and they do not react well to it. They are calm birds in captivity, but will display a pensive nature when faced with new things or situations. Eclectus parrotd do not adapt easily to new situations or environments so its’ human must be patient and adjust to having a somewhat shy, three year old child-type companion. They can be very territorial of their cage area. 

The Eclectus is not a demanding bird and is relatively easy to care for; however, they prefer a daily routine. They are slow to adjust or adapt to new things. If you are providing your Eclectus with a new toy, for example, introduce it to him outside the cage. Then let him see it outside the cage for several days before you hang it in the cage.

They enjoy playing with new toys, but they become anxious when their surroundings changes quickly. The best house for an Eclectus is one without kids, lots of visitors, and a lot of play and action.But they do make a good pet for someone who lives alone, rarely has company, and where the environment and daily routine does not change.

The majority of Eclectus are females. As a result, females are more likely than males to be moody and loud. A female may become more aggressive once she reaches breeding age. She might also start exploring the house or aviary’s corners and crevices in search of prospective nesting areas.
