Solomon Eclectus Pair

Description

Solomon Eclectus Pair (Eclectus roratus) is a beautiful parrot native to the Solomon Islands, Sumba, New Guinea and nearby islands, northeastern Australia and the Maluku Islands (Moluccas). The Eclectus parrot is notable within the parrot family for its pronounced sexual dimorphism in plumage coloration; males display a predominantly bright emerald green plumage, while females boast a vivid red and purple/blue plumage. Native tribes in New Guinea utilize their colorful feathers for decoration. Hailing from the Solomon Islands, this bird is valued for its striking looks and suitability as a pet, although it is somewhat rarer than other parrots of similar size. Males feature a vibrant green hue with candy corn-colored beaks and blue or red tail and wing feathers. The adult male Eclectus typically weighs around 430 grams, with a range from 388 to 524 grams. Females have red heads and blue breasts, complemented by black beaks. DIET: The diet of the eclectus in the wild consists of mainly fruits, wild figs, unripe nuts, flower and leaf buds, and some seeds. In captivity, they will eat most fruits including mangos, figs, guavas, bananas, melons, stone fruits, grapes, citrus fruits, pears, apples, pomegranate and papaya (pawpaw). The eclectus has an unusually long digestive tract and this is why it requires such a high fiber diet. In captivity the eclectus parrot does benefit from a variety of fresh fruits and vegetables, leafy greens such as endive and dandelion, as well as a variety of seeds, including spray millet, and a few nuts such as shelled almonds and shelled walnuts. Eclectus parrots generally benefit from more fruit and vegetables (especially those higher in Vitamin A) in their diet, as well as pelleted food. Recommend feeding pellets that are free of artificial colors/dyes. BEHAVIOR: Eclectus parrots are intelligent, gentle birds that become welcome members of the family due to their tranquil nature. They are pretty good with children, though they will not tolerate frantic activity or constant disturbing noise. It will be important to teach children how to behave around the bird, rather than the other way around.Female Eclectus parrots — even those kept as single pets — have strong nesting instincts and might be inclined to seek out nest sites in dark and enclosed areas around the home, such as in cupboards and underneath furniture. Females can be quite territorial, especially during breeding season. If you keep a male and female pair, the female will likely be the bossier of the two.
