Talking Whistling Eclectus & Pet Lorikeet

  • Update: Bruno passed away from illness in winter this year 2012. There is one more video of Bruno yet to be uploaded before he died. Nemo and Ruby are an inseparable pair given to the breeder where Bruno was purchased. Ringo was given away reluctantly as I could not manage on my own with the arrival of my beautiful baby girl. • Baby Girl six days old...
    Bruno and others hatched in February 2008. The boys were not hand-raised and were purchased at six months old. All our Eclectus parrots including one female can talk, sing and whistle.
    The parrot stretching his wing to show his feathers is Nemo. We cut along the covert feathers on both wings, leaving two primary (blue) unclipped feathers together in between the primary clipped feathers. This reduces irritation and breakage when the primary blood feathers grow out to replace the clipped feathers. The secondary (green) feathers are mostly clipped but leaving the last few unclipped. Lastly, wing clipping has varying methods and opinions. The method described here is best suited for our Eclectus parrots. Bruno's feathers are less clipped than Nemo and can go a short distance. He got a little startled when a large object was accidentally dropped.
    Ringo, a Rainbow lorikeet is also in this video. Ringo is fully flighted (feathers not clipped) and he loves to play. 'luvv Ringo -- nodding nod nod'
    Also, the budgies are in the background making a fuss. Budgies are wonderful first-time pet birds as it was in my case. Thanks for watching.

    I love my Solomon eclectus so much, he's getting old and I fear the day he gets ill. I've had years and years of joy and amazement from loving theses critters. Love is a universal language and key to a healthy pet. I enjoyed this video a lot, thank you very much.

    I agree with others who admire Bruno, Nemo, and Ringo's feathers. Compared to other Eclectus's seen on youtube, your birds are as beautiful as as those in the wild. What did you feed them to keep them so beautiful and healthy? By the way, I have learned a lot about how to handle my baby Eclectus, Christopher ColumBIRD from your videos. Pulling your sleeves over your fingers when he is "bitey"; not over reacting to bites; singing nursery songs and rhymes; etc., etc., have all made a big difference with Chris! Thanks so much for sharing!

    This is my female Eclectus favourite video. I raised other parrot birds yr.s ago but went the last 5 years without any birds. She was hand fed, but I got her at 6 mos., I think her 1st owner didn't have the time and she was nippy at 1st. But at 9 mos. she's everywhere I am. I'm not sure if she would except another bird. She is so possesive. She thinks she owns me. I would love her to have a mate, but she's such a diva. Not sure she'd share.

    Hello :) i have a 7 months old eclectus. I had him for 1.5 months. I don't think my eclectus is hand-raised. and yours aren't, right?
    anyway, i was wondering how long did it take for you to make them tame and love you? because when i first bought mine he was terrified of me (even in the store he was like that) and now he is okay but still kinda scared. and what did you do to make them like this? thanks .
