Why Choose an Eclectus Parrot for Sale?
Bringing home an Eclectus parrot isn’t just about owning a bird it’s about welcoming a lifelong companion. With the right care, these striking parrots can live up to 50 years, filling your home with color, personality, and plenty of chatter. Known for their impressive mimicry skills, Eclectus parrots can imitate everything from human speech to car horns and camera clicks, making them one of the most engaging and interactive pet birds around.
In the wild, Eclectus parrots thrive in the lush rainforests and mangrove forests of northern Australia, New Guinea, and nearby islands. To keep them happy in your home, it helps to recreate a bit of that natural environment. They need plenty of space ideally a cage around 18 x 18 feet (5.5 x 5.5 m) and 2–3 feet (0.6–0.9 m) tall with ½ to ¾ inch (1–2 cm) bar spacing. These birds love to play, so fill their space with a variety of toys and activities they’d often rather play than eat.
An Eclectus parrot’s diet should mimic what they’d find in the wild. In nature, they feed on fruits, wild figs, unripe nuts, buds, and seeds. In captivity, they thrive on fresh fruits like mangoes, guavas, bananas, and figs, along with vegetables, leafy greens, and seeds. Because of their long digestive tract, a high fiber, dye free diet is especially important. Quality pelleted food can be added to round out their nutrition.
