Eclectus Parrot Aru Red Sided behavior

The lovely Eclectus Parrot is available in a few varieties; one of these is the striking Aru Red Sided Eclectus Parrot! These incredible birds have vastly different and very beautiful coloration between one sex and the other, in addition to amazing personalities!

In the wild, Aru Red Sided Eclectus Parrots nest high in the forest canopy. In captivity, they tend to do well when kept in pairs. In the wild, pairs will usually dominate a group, with other parrots in the group helping the dominant pair to raise their young. Aru Red Sided Eclectus Parrots kept in captivity may be fed plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables along with a good basic pellet diet or seed mix. The majority of the seeds should be soaked to make them softer for the parrots. Plenty of branches or wood should be provided for your Aru Red Sided Eclectus Parrots to chew. When kept outdoors, a four and a half-meter by one and a fifth meter by two-meter aviary in a sheltered area, will suffice for a pair. These birds are quite loud, but they can make good pets for people who will tolerate the noise. Aru Red Sided Eclectus Parrots can be taught to imitate noises and talk quite well. Generally, hand raised parrots make much better, healthier pets than wild-caught birds.
