Our birds are hand-fed from three weeks until weaned
which makes them exceptionally friendly, and very affectionate pets.
The Female Solomon Island Eclectus as a breeder is the dominant partner and, except for mating season, exhibits a strong personality. Her feathers are gradients of red and blue, or purple. The adult hen will have a shiny dark black beak. Young females, under a year of age, have a yellow tip on their black beak. As pets, they blend well into most family life styles.
The Male Solomon Island Eclectus is bright emerald green with iridescent blue in the upper bend of his wings. The scarlet red on the underside of his wings spreads to part of his chest. His upper beak is an orange gradient to yellow with a black lower mandible.
"Winged Flowers" is the term Jose MI. Perdomo, Founding Director of The Eclectus Society, uses to describe the Eclectus Parrot. In aviculture, the Eclectus has approximately 100 years of successful propagation in captivity. This medium-sized parrot (12 to 14 inches tall ), with its brilliant colorations, is sexually dimorphic: the male and female are distinctly separable by their colorations. The feathers have a hair-like structure and are tightly interlocked. They have a smooth beak surface, which is also distinctly different between the sexes. The Eclectus parrot is intelligent, excelling in speech abilities, with patient coaching, can learn sufficient phrases and sentences to appear to engage in conversation. As pets, they demand attention and company without looking for constant petting or physical contact. They will, however, enjoy sitting in the lap of their master to watch television. Life spans are estimated to almost 40 years old.
The Solomon Island Eclectus are the smallest of the Eclectus species with an average weight of 325 to 425 grams.
