The Biak Red Sided Eclectus Parrot is one of the most dubious Eclectus subspecies! This is due to their rather variable coloring, but there is no denying that proponents for these parrots adore them for valid reasons! With their intensely shaded coloring and their lovely personalities, Biak Red Sided Eclectus Parrots are truly incredible birds.

In the wild, Biak Red Sided Eclectus Parrots nest high in the forest canopy. Pairs will usually predominate in a group, with other parrots in the group helping the dominant pair to raise their young. In captivity, they tend to do well when kept in pairs. Biak Red Sided Eclectus Parrots 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 Biak Red Sided Eclectus Parrots to chew. When kept outdoors, aviaries may usually be suspended and should have a sheltered area. Usually, one large enclosure will suffice for a pair. These birds are quite loud, but they can make good pets for people who will tolerate the noise. One trick to make your birds be a bit quieter can be to turn on a radio for them, to keep them from providing their own noise! Biak Red Sided Eclectus Parrots can be taught to imitate noises and talk quite well. They need plenty of sunlight and enjoy being bathed by rain! Generally, hand raised parrots make much better, healthier pets than will wild-caught birds.
