I enjoyed this video and applaud you for including this bird in your family outings. I did and they really seem to adapt well and show off for strangers once socialized.
i saw this video years ago and i've never forgotten it. it inspired me to incorporate an eclectus parrot into something i wrote once. such a delightful video. it says a lot about your home that he identifies singing, giggling, affection, and healthy snacks as common flock calls. i hope you all are doing well!
He is adorable & so sweet & clever. But he really needs to be in a carrier in the car. If you're in an accident he will catapult across the car. i know of a budgie who was killed in a very minor accident due to the momentum. Keep him safe.
Shelby Robinson my wife was pulled over in a random breathe test once, the cop loved chilli but said the same thing, in future keep her in a carrier cage, for the same reason
Happy has such gorgeous deep green plumage...and is as cutely-cheeky as I'd expect a parrot to be. A late friend of my late parents loved parrots and owned them her whole life long. She would've been thrilled to pieces by Happy.
He is so darling, and I am glad that he has a great caretaker! You are both so beautiful! Please keep him in caring quarters when he goes on long outings. I want to see all of you safe! With love, Heather
We have a 2 year old female, she is wonderful, loveable, hormonal and psychotic lol But learning new words and phrases all the time, I was making up some formula today in the kitchen for the baby cockatiels and chilli flew over onto my shoulder and said "what are ya doin?" Another time I was cutting up her fruit and veggies, she flew over onto my shoulder and told me to "hurry hurry hurry up" They sometimes forget they are birds hehe.
Thats a real charming parrot :O not as obnoxious as some can be, ive heard that Eclectus is a bit more quiet than most kinds of parrots (some ^^ i bet some are just as loud as any other ^^)
A few days ago while me and my mom were at a gas station we met a guy who drives around with a parrot in his car. He took it everywhere including down to texas. He also said it could anything, and it talked while he was driving.
What a cutie! I just want to tell you that if you ran into the back of someone or had to slam on the brakes, your beautiful bird would fly forward with such force that I would be afraid he would not survive. I understand wanting him close, but you need to be aware of what can happen and weigh that against the risk. I have two Eclectus, both about 18 years old, a male, Winston, and a female, Ruby. It's clear you adore Happy!
