Solomon Island Eclectus

Description

Scientific Name: Eclectus roratus solomensis Native Range: Southeast Asia The Eclectus Parrot is a medium-sized parrot species within the family Psittaculidae, best known for its pronounced sexual dimorphism. Males typically exhibit bright green plumage with blue and red underwing accents and a distinct orange upper mandible (often referred to as “candy corn”). Females display predominantly red and violet plumage with a black beak. This species includes several subspecies distributed across island groups in the South Pacific region. In the wild, Eclectus Parrots inhabit lowland rainforests, forest edges, and monsoon forests, where they nest primarily in tree cavities. At Parrot Stars, we prioritize education, welfare, and responsible parrot ownership to help ensure every bird finds and thrives in a forever home. Before taking home any parrot, we provide comprehensive guidance on proper caging and setup, positive reinforcement training, household safety, nutrition, and enrichment. Parrots in captivity are still wild animals with all their natural instincts. Your overall success and experience with any species of companion parrot is greatly impacted by positive reinforcement training. A parrot’s behavior reflects both the environment they live in and the training they receive. All of our hand-fed babies are hatched and raised in our own breeding facility and weaned onto a diverse, high-variety diet. Our parrots are never clipped and are fully flighted.
