We are waiting for the arrival of our new baby girl...she is a SI Eclectus Parrot and we have never had one before...so we are not experts on them. We are bird people though. Any input would be appreciated.

i had a female, i hand fed her, everything was great until we got to the stage where she only wanted to feed herself yet she wasn't eating enough, she became real independent like a teenager, when i let her eat at the table with us she finally settled down, she was a great pet until i went back to work. she was not happy, i finally sold her to a friend that was retired and could spend a lot of time with her and keep her loose, i still miss her

I had one before, but unfortunately we lost her by accident. We now have a male SI Eclectus. They are wonderful birds. If you treat them nicely, they will do the same. Just watch out for the terrible 2s when they start growing up.

I just had to hop in and say how envious I am of you! We have too many birds to get another one, and they're so beautiful and interesting.
The ones I've met got a little raucous, but definitely no worse than an Amazon, that's for sure. They were a little nervous -- say, in the Pionus range. Three of the five were pluckers, but they were out of 4 bonded birds, so you know they probably did it to each other. Hooray. Scritch her adorable red neck for me?

that is an awesome bird, but i'm no expert by far i do cockatoos myself, but a friend of mine at red barn birds in acampo california knows about all there is to know about them, if you can find a number to them they would be glad to help i'm sure.
