What breed is my bird2007-11-24 17:16:54

Last week we bought a bird from a woman, she says he's an eclectus parrot, and that he could do the telephone, doorbell and video rewind. We haven't heard him speak yet and eclectus parrots are supposed to be the most talkative.. we've looked online, he's all green with a reddish orange beak, all the pictures of eclectus parrots have blue or red underneath the wings, and say that males should have that under thier wings, we know he's male, can anyone help with the breed?

Answers:

There are several types of Eclectus Parrots. All males are green with that wonderfull "Candy Corn" beak!

You might have a Solomon Islands Eclectus and there are "Red Sided Eclectus" as well.

I know you have an eclectus, it's just a matter of subspecies. Birds don't have "breeds". just species and sub-species. But they can and do interbreed so I can't be sure what you have. As with all Parrots, some talk and some don't.

You haven't had him very long. Give him some time, to settle down. He doesn't know you and he isn't just going to start yakking away if he unsure of his enviornment.

Check out this website and see if anything matches your bird:
