I hope you read my tale of buying Ronin. This article is a overview for those considering an eclectus as a pet. Number one, get them close to weening. Keep in mind that an eclectus is very cautious especially when their young so they may seem overly guarded at first.

My red side Male Eclectus named Ronin is 10 months old. He was in the pet shop for 9. I wish I'd gotten him right after he was weened, I think he would have been a little more cuddly. To be honest, I hadnt intended to get this particular bird.

My sun conure (named Gizmo) fits the discription of feathered puppy. They love attention, being part of their human flock. Not a quiet bird, he screams at the micro wave, running water, the back door.

All of us should teach flight recall even if it means starting from scratch with the bird coming to you by walking ....this is important (just like with dogs) whether your bird is clipped or not. because everyone knows even if your bird is clipped " **** " things can and do happen! Also teaching your bird the area around your home aka "mapping" is a wonderful helpful safety help...that is one of the benefits of having a cage and or aviary in the garden ...your bird becomes used to the sights and sound of the great outdoors and won't freak out if he finds himself outside all of a sudden ..aka ...like a door left open!

Just got home from Tambopata..deep ( 7 hours from civilization by covered canoe) in the rainforest of Peru
Talk about culture shock....boy oh boy....warm showers? ..now how weird is that! No bugs.....ahhh...what planet am I on anyway?

In the beginning, there was The Bird. And The Bird was in darkness, for the Cage was covered, and there was naught to see.

And The Bird was pissed about this situation, and demanded that the Cage be Uncovered, and that there should be light.

What is Fly Day?

"Fly Day" is a gathering of people and their flighted birds, for the sake of flight training and socialization. We've been doing this in Seattle twice a week for several months and it's been a wonderful experience for people and birds alike.

It is a common misconception among parrot keepers - especially in North America - that clipping a parrot's wings will prevent its escape and will make it easy to recover in the event that it does escape. In fact, a clipped bird is just as likely to fly out an open door or window, and a flighted bird is more likely to be recovered.
