SPEECH & SOUNDS: Eclectus parrots are known as very intelligent and inquisitive birds. They simply love to learn new words and mimic new sounds, starting when they are very young. These birds are considered to be some of the better talkers in the parrot world and mimics as well. They pay close attention to any commonly heard and repeated sounds, such as alarms, doorbells, phones or the television. Don’t be surprised when you hear your alarm go off or the microwave starts beeping .

CARE & FEEDING: In the wild, they have a varied diet. It consists of fruits, nuts, flowers and tree blossoms. Commercial seed mixes are a great start, but their real favorites are fresh fruits and vegetables. Bananas, melons, grapes, oranges, and mangos are among their favorite meals and treats. Good hygiene is also a priority. Offer regular showers or bathing dishes which they will simply love. It keeps them satisfied and prevents skin diseases and feather loss.
