Ask anybody who has decided to own an Eclectus parrot and they will probably tell you that when they started to discuss this with other people they heard many a story which in time has proved to be untrue about these birds. Just so you are forewarned I want to outline some of these stories to you Now.

When people first consider the possibility of owning an Eclectus parrot they hear so many good things about these birds that they begin to wonder if it’s all really true. well, I’m here to tell you that it is true because these are really wonderful pets to own.

Some people will tell you that Eclectus parrots only live for about eight to ten years. This is only true if the bird is not well cared for. A well cared for bird, on the other hand, lives to be between the ages of thirty and fifty.

In the early days people used to think that these birds were rather dull and uninteresting, but this was because they were not being fed properly. A well nourished bird is both lively and interesting.

Some people have also said that Eclectus parrots are an unhealthy type of bird, but once again this comes down to proper feeding. Give them the right food, in the right quantities, and you will have a most healthy pet in your family.

This lack of understanding still exists in our world today. Some people don’t realize that Eclectus parrots require much more than bird seed or pellets. They require a well rounded diet of seeds, fruits, vegetables, and even grains.

You will hear reports of Eclectus parrots that have very bad behavior. In almost all instances of bad behavior, the bad behavior is due to negligence or improper nutrition. When the bird is well attended to, he is one of the easiest of all birds to keep as a pet.

Are Eclectus parrots good talkers? Yes they certainly are. Do not believe any stories you may hear to the contrary because these are great little talkers, as long as you play your part by giving them the time and attention that they need. Do this, and you will discover what a wide vocabulary they have, and what good singers they are!

In the future, if you hear negative things about Eclectus parrots, make it a point to find out for sure whether the information is true. The greatest source of information is a breeder with years of experience.
