Eclectus Parrot (Eclectus roratus)

Widely distributed from Indonesian islands to New Guinea and parts of Australia

Lifespan: 40 - 50 years in captivity

Eclectus is one of the most stunning parrots. Males are iridescent Green and Females are Brilliant Red. Initially they were thought to be two different species.

As pets Eclectus prove to be excellent when raised with knowledge and sensitively. Electus tend to be attentive pets who enjoy just hanging around with their owners. They have very laid back attitude and are not very noisy or destructive. They are a good choice for people living in flats or where neighbours might object to a noisy bird. Their talking ability is much under rated, in our opinion they learn to talk well.

There is much to recommend this species.
