They are infamous for being very nippy and moody. But I guess I'm just nervous after reading and hearing some horror stories about these birds. When I decided I wanted to gt a bird, the eclectus was the top of my list.
I loved their calm personalities and definitely their beautiful looks and feathers. The male was a bit stand offish (probably the situation he was in at the moment) but the female was so sweet and I didn't hear a peep from either one of them. They were tame and very well taken care of. Finally, I have met a female and male eclectus at my previous job at an avian veterinary clinic. As for the poinus parrot, I have never met one in person, but have also research on them as well. They are so active and I am shooting for a calmer bird that would be happy hanging out on a play stand while I study. I liked the bird and the breeder recommended that bird for my situation. Had just been weened and was very playful. I have met the rose breasted cockatoo at a bird store and she was so sweet. Female eclectus are also on my 'maybe someday' list and so are Galah cockatoos.ĭo you have a way you could visit these birds in person? That's the best way to get a feel if you'd be attracted to them or not. If I recall lately I think there's been a few threads on male eclectus screaming but I haven't read through them so i don't know what the problem or solution was. Or the bronze-wings, you get a natural photo in sunlight though, there's a lot of pics of bronzewing with a flash that don't show all the gorgeous depth of colors to them. I personally think the blue heads are a lot prettier. They usually aren't big talkers, but I've heard maximillian pionus are a bit chattier. They are really a swell bird and they are on my 'maybe someday' list. But she loved to be involved in his life, very friendly, loved scritches, and everyone who was nice to her. She could be noisy at times, when she wanted him and he wasn't in the room. My hubby had a Blue headed pionus when he was a teen, and she was a very sweet bird. I understand what it means to own a pet, so when I get one I want to make the right decision. I want the most amount of information possible before getting a life long companion and commitment. Overall, the female eclectus is the bird that I would like the most, but I would love to hear from female Ekkie owners how living with them really is like. So they should be at the top of the list, however I am just not as interested in them as the other two. They are smaller and more manageable and have less issues with biting and being hormonal. However, I just don't have the same excitement towards these birds compared to the eclectus. These birds are also beautiful, quiet and calm in personality. Oh yes, and lastly the DUST!!! I don't know if I'm too fond of all the dust cockatoos have. I can be able to spend about 4-6 hours a day with the bird, but half the time I'll probably be studying while the bird entertains his/her self. But my main concern is that I do live in an apartment and their noises in the morning and evening can drive my neighbors nutts! Also the fact that they are so needy when it comes to attention concerns me. They have a fun loving personality and are relatively quite compared to white cockatoos. I never thought a cockatoo would ever be on the list of birds to consider but the galah cockatoo has peaked my interest as well. Also that they are prone to feather plucking and toe tapping. But I have read that they are very hormonal and become nippy. What drew me to the female eclectus was their calm personality and their overall quiet nature. I can provide all of her needs (I would like a female) including proper dieting, frequent veterinary visits, toys and proper caging.
I have read on the basic needs of the eclectus and honestly, money is not an issue. I have always wanted one but due to time away from home (classes and work) and the fact that I live in an apartment left me with little options. I have never owned a bird but have been around them from work and friends who own birds.
