This is exactly what owning an eclectus is like 😂😂 Absolute chaos.
Really? I thought they were calm ll
@@Deenique16 I HAD MALE AND FEMALE,,, talked all day long , and so affectionate,,, gorgeous as they come , amazing birds
“Everything is going according to plan”, said no sane bird owner ever. At least not with a straight face. But then again, if we have feathered family, are we really sane?😆🤣😁❤️
I read your first statement about no sane bird owner and laughed when I read are we really sane because my first thought was bird owners sane? I say this being owned for a lifetime by multiple birds. 😂
Sure it's going to plan. Just not yours, but rather the parrot's.
I had no idea that handling them could lead to plucking??! Thank you for sharing this!!😭
yep! true to some degreee for ALL birds. the more you touch them, the more human skin oils get on their feathers. eventually it'll be more than their preening can take care of. plus there's hormonal issues, etc etc etc
Funny . As an avid Ekkie care giver lol .. I have 32 of these guys 98% rescued because people want them for their beauty, then when they get them and find out about their special dietary requirements.. bye bye birdie. So thank you for educating people ❤️
Thank you for helping them. They are so very loving ❤️💙💚💛
Wow, that is sad for them but awesome for you.
I Have 3, and another on the way,
I have had birds for nearly 60 years, but only came across the Eccy's when someone gave me one a few years ago.
I love their beauty and also their personalities, and their way of chatting to you, when not chatting to you.
I am still learning something new about them each day
It must be very noisey at your place? ahhaah
They are striking.. can you recommend a resource for info please 🙏 like their dietary needs as you mentioned
They certainly do eat a varied diet. I change it daily. And good on you, for taking all of those birds in.
People think that their diet is that hard to make and get for them?? How do they even feed themselves
So nice to see Mel again.
I love this!! Hahaha! It would be so cool if you did a series of interviews with people who love and know a lot about one specific bird 🥰 I now know this isn't the bird for me but still learning!
I have like 10 Quaker parrots and have hand raised about 25. I could probably write a book on them at this point 😂
@@GraceT oh I love those birds!!
I just purchased a Red Eclectus a week ago, and she much more calmer and disobedient than these birds. I believe their personality will be different depending on the environment. We have alot of pets, but we always keep the animals in different parts of the house. Only the parrots are allowed in my office and our bedroom. The pet store told me my bird use to be a show bird with lots of kids always touching her. That had to really stress the bird out. So now, it only me and I let the bird do its own thing. But whenever I tell the bird come here to get on my fingers it always comes. And it usually like to stay in one place unless it smells food. It also can talk, but so far it only says Hi and Hello. I haven't seen any other Eclectus on RUclips that talks.
Easy to handle she said 🤣
That croaky squawky noise is so funny and the unintentional comedic timing at 2:22 was gold
Today we're going to...
Parrot: No we're not. It's chaos day!
I agree totally what you said about these beautiful parrots
I was at a fast food joint this weekend and a family walked in with a male eclectus. If I hadn't been online the last few months looking at birds to hopefully get one in near future I wouldn't of known what kind it was, but I knew. They ordered their food and sat outside to eat. I didn't notice a harness on it. They said they bought they egg from a local bird store and the store raised it for a month after it hatched before the family took it home.
🤣🤣
And YES, BRING OUT THE SULPHURS!
Cute moments!
Thank you! I appreciate all you do! I’m learning so much from your videos
Too funny
Fantastic vid! Great info!
Bottom line: Eccies are fun! 😄💜💚🦜 Love it! 🤗 I feel these two are particularly special, they have such particular -in a good way- personalities. And they are so beautiful! I love the hair-like "feathers" on the head, they look very soft and "floof". 😍
Actually not as floofy as most parrots. Their “hair” is always perfect and generally don’t appreciate you messing it up. ❤️🦜❤️
Needing more of these XD
They look so full of fun! Love these blooper-type videos, you can always get loads with these birds. Thanks for this channel 😊😊
Lol my Ekkie seems pretty normal then 😜
So cute!!!!
Hilarious. Really good. Thank you!
Wonderful sharing
I just love you ♡♡♡ thabk u for sharing your love and knowledge
What an interesting caw they make compared to other parrots, hehe.
totally normal. oh and that rahrnnn sound. just like home.
So cute
I can relate 😀
“… HORMONAL ALL THE TIME IN CAPTIVITY “
Please, noooo!!! I am covered in Eclectus barf most days. Can I stop that and keep my sweet lovey bird?
Thank you for sharing with everyone what it's really like when you own a parrot😂
Hahaha love it. There is never a serious parrot video and this just shows that everyone in the clan wanted some minutes of fame
I love em❤
The real of it is this video - lol. Debating about bird purchase, but will probably pass because of lots of devotion & commitment needed. Just keep watching these vids education and entertainment. Tnx.
I 💕 this video 🤣🥰😎♾️💞
First day bring mine male eclectus home landed on my sister's head 😅 I enjoy the low energy and fun behavior. Sun conures and Indian ringnecks got enough energy to keep me going eclectus my chill buddy ❤
Your parrots look exactly like my eclectus parrots Cookle and Coco!
Too funny!
My biggest wish. Parrot mansion! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
She didn’t finish her thoughts on hormonal behavior. THAT was what I needed to know!!
What subspecies are they? They looks little smaller compared to other eckies
I have both a male and female eclectus. My male is bonded to me and has started hormonal behavior. Can we please have more examples of how to ignore/not encourage this behavior? And the progression of the behavior? I never touch his back or any of the places I know trigger hormones. I only touch his feet but he still bites my hand and arm quite hard. Thank you. 😊
Do they bond to one person or can you socialize them with multiple people?
So many parrots i only can afford cockatiel 😂
I think ive been able to narrow down my top choices for which type id like to get to either the eclectus or an indian ringneck. Still doing the research tho and trying to find some local groups to get involved in. Id thought thered be more activity on social media in my area here Florida from parrot owners but i cant find any!
Huh! Have you looked for groups on fb? In my area there are several local parrot Facebook groups. What is hard is finding parrot owners to actually talk to in person directly, the fb groups don't have meetups or anything.
@@sylphsarigo1996 yeah ive looked for local groups on Facebook and couldn't find any...well i found one but it hasn't had any activity in 5 yrs so. Its surprising because i do live in a "city" and im in Florida and its such a good climate for parrots.
@@Lonesome__Dove that is weird! I thought Florida had a huge bird community. I guess I thought that cuz there's a lot of big breeders and bird stores there. I'm further up on the east coast and there's very few bird stores and the only bird club in my area shut down recently.
@@sylphsarigo1996 i think most of them are in the southern or Central part of the state. Im in Pensacola so right on the Alabama border
I have a female eclectus parrot. She is very quiet and very sweet and affectionate. I know they eat fruit a lot. If they eat everyday different kind of fruit is it ok or is it too much?
Wow
O wow that looks like ginger and sparke
Is side neck scratch OK? Same spot as kiss per say?
So uhm my african grey doesnt want to learn tricks with me and doesnt really want to do anything what do i do??
Hi, I recently got one as a gift, did get some information about them but Im still very cautious about handling her, can you please give me some tips on how to better understand her and build our trust so I can be able to handle her the best way possible thank you
I have that bird it 😊
What happened to your hyacinth macaw? I’m new to the channel kinda
They haven't owned any, though they've worked with a few
I'm amazed y'all don't have more "bird blooper" vids bc we all know the do not make the best subjects to work with on film lol
Haha have two as well.. if mine groels he bites
My female Ekie is the same way!
My question is why does feathers become dark rather than shiny at times?
I have 21 parrots and 3 birds they are a pain 😂😂
I couldn’t handle the hormonal part all the time 🤯.. it’s enough with my alexandrine lol
2:36 What bird is making the noise?
Sulphur crested cockatoo. I have wild ones that arrive most afternoons. My Eccies copy them. I'm lucky I live next to a park.
I just realized ive been following yall for a couple yrs atleast and was never subscribed??? I thought i was!!! Thats so weird.
Lol
😂🤣
Green Ekkie is Waluigi.
I had eclectus years ago he was os sweet I was he buddy
quick question about your blue budgie blueberry, is he an american parakeet or an english one? im assuming American but i just wanted to make sure
Blueberry is an American or bush/wild-type budgie!
@@lizziehn5928 thanks so much
English budgies are bigger and have chubbier faces you can really tell a difference.
Are they good talkers ,like better then a indian ring neck parakeet?
the idea of a hormonal bird frightens me
Would an Eclectus imitate another bird scream? My family currently have an - amazing but - super noisy Sun Conure who loves to scream, and the reason I'm looking into an Eclectus is because I've heard they are on the quieter side and would take him/her with me when I move into an apartment. But I've also heard that they can imitate noise, and it would be awful if he started imitating my Sun Conure 😂
Hey I commented this on the post too but still I wanna ask here again..... I have a 20 days old green cheek conure and I feed him from 6 am to 9 pm with 4 to 5 hours in between each meal.. but he keeps shouting.... I thought it might be because hobi was scared of me but he always runs to wherever I am and sleeps on me and when I sleep he comes and give me kisses in face... So it's not because of me.. I don't let him in cage most of the time so I let him out and let him play.. but he still keep shouting whenever someone is in the room he come near us and
Keep looking at us and shout... I thought it's because he wants to play... So I take him in my hand and let him do whatever he wants but he still shouts so I got some destructible toys for him to play.. But he can't bite it because he is still not used to hard things... He loves water so I let him bath in a small tub he is a little silent in water but after that he keeps shouting whenever he sees me... He runs to me, looks at me and shout.. I don't know why.. I thought maybe you know why.. please help me.. I wanna be a better parrot parent for my baby hobi.. 😭
Conures are vocal!
To reduce screaming, teach it to talk or whistle instead.
Life with Conures is never boring and seldom quiet. ❤️🦜❤️🦜❤️🦜
Ohhh thank god it's normal for all the conures... I was scared that hobi was not feeling well.. thank you for your help 😭😭
I have an older female eclectus that was hand reared and then neglected. I can't handle her at all. She is very inquisitive though. My male eclectus is younger and was also hand reared. I can still handle him to a certain degree. But can bite randomly. My rescued baby galah is way easier to read. This video makes me laugh. Saying eclectus parrots like handling. I don't necessarily agree with that statement. They are still awesome pteradactyls.
Lolol
What is he doinggggg
This is why you never work with children or animals. 😂 My ecckie act exactly like this. 👍
😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅
I have a 4.5 year old male eclectus, have had him since he was 10 weeks old. I pet him like a dog and he has never displayed any hormonal behavior and he is not a plucker. He is harness trained and a great talker says 50+ words. I have never clipped his wings. I truly believe plucking is more tied to wing clipping than petting and handling your bird, no matter the species.
how is the noise level of an ekkie?
@@katsy3333 Mine is pretty quiet. He talks more than anything else as far as noise, most often my home is silent and you can't even tell I have a bird. He can be loud but rarely is. I believe birds that can talk rarely scream so are usually quieter than ones who cannot.
Do they talk
My friend had a female since she was a hatchling. When she became sexually mature....she turned on my friend and fell for her boyfriend. She was always nesting and attacking my friends feet. Lol
The bird didn’t turn in anyone. It’s hormones are being triggered. No petting bird’s below the neck.
As if the bird is extra hormonal then sometimes even looking a the bird can trigger it. They definitely need to work on that. And probably diet too because diets can trigger hormones too.
They are really moody
Eckie speed slowwwwwww eat, soooo slowwwwwwwww
I was told the male eclectus is a lot nicer and gentle in general vs the females, I suspect this might be true for most parrot species tho.
