King Parrot Australian Health Information

Australian King Parrots should be offered a variety of fruits, legumes, and vegetables in addition to a basic seed mix and a variety of treats like nuts. They need fresh water at all times and shelter from cold and wet weather. Australian King Parrots do not thrive in very small or confined or indoor cages. They will flourish in outdoor aviaries so long as they have plenty of shelter from the elements.

Breeding
Australian King Parrots have been crossed with Regent Parrots, Crimson-winged Parrots, and Superb Parrots. In the wild, they breed from July to January and have nests in hollow trees. The entrances are usually quite near the ground. In captivity, nesting boxes or roomy hollow logs will do. The best nesting material for Australian King Parrots seems to be wood shavings mixed with peat moss. Australian King Parrots strut, preen, and call to court their hens in the wild. In return, the hen will accept his regurgitated food by bobbing her head and generally imitating his motions. Australian King Parrots' clutches usually consist of three to five elliptical, slightly glossy eggs. The parents tend to be clumsy and often break the eggs. Tilting the nesting box will help them to avoid these accidents. The eggs incubate for around 20 days, and the male attends his hen for the duration although she does the entire sitting. Australian King Parrots fledge at around 35 days and the cock will help raise the young and teach them to fly. Immature Australian King Parrots resemble the females in coloration until six months of age. At this point, the males' heads will begin to turn red and adult plumage will be acquired at around 16 months. It will be another 14 months before he is fully colored and he will not mate until he is around three years old. Female Australian King Parrots may be sexually mature at one year of age. Immature Parrots will flock together over the winter months.
