I now have been reduced to a perch...... and come this October , we will have one more member coming to our household. "Cosmo" - he is a Solomon Island Eclectus. This will then complete our pack and flock.... plus - there really is no more room on the living perch (me).......

awww

do you think the two birds will get along? i have only had one bird at a time.

 

[ellad]

Actually, I dont think they will get along.... Kiwi is aggressive towards other birds and does not like Emilee.... She is really sweet to humans and to our older chi (chico). Do to the size difference I will have to keep them separate or monitor them closely. Who knows.... she may like the new arrival. He will only be 4 1/2 months old (newly weened) so it is possible that they can accept one another. Also, Cosmo will be about 12 - 14 inches while Kiwi is about 6 inches in length. It will be interesting. I will certainly have my hands full training both Emilee and Cosmo.

Heehee love the 1st pic, Triny my chi thinks she is a bird as she sits on my hubby's sholder.
Lovely Kiwi..

i am familiar with those birds but not whether they can talk or not, can they?

my dory is a meyers parrot and although she is able to talk she refuses too. she's really good at mimicking sounds though. every morning i'm not sure if it's my alarm clock or dory that i hear :lol:

The Eclectus species are noted to be excellent talkers. I am really hoping the Cosmo will learn speech. They suppose to rival with the Amazons and African Greys. One of my favarite videos on Youtube is the talking Eclectus
"Riley". Here is the link .... Choose the best bits. Watching this video was the final deciding factor choosing an Eclectus species (considered an African Grey, Hawns Macaw, Amazon).

What a cute picture! I love eclectuses.. the red ones are soo pretty. I love how their feathers are hair like

 

[Jen]

lol that is so cute! i always thought it was so neat how the eclectus male and female have completely different colors.

my fav parrot of all time is an african grey if they had had a young one when i went to get dory i would have gotten it.
