Males are emerald green with a candy-corn beak; females are scarlet and violet. Eclectus parrots are gentle, observant and good talkers, and they thrive on routine and a fresh-food diet.

Care guide
Life with an eclectus parrot
What they eat
Mostly fresh produce — they need lots of vitamin A from orange and leafy veg, and little fat.
Their home
A large cage with room to climb, natural wood perches and a calm spot in the house.
Time & attention
Gentle and observant. Loves routine, quiet one-on-one time and learning words.
We'll go through all of this with you in person, too — bring your questions to the meetup.
