Some general information you might like to know...
Each bird is raised on a top brand hand rearing formula called Tropican, by Hagen, which is recommended by the Parrot Society of Australia. When they are weaned they enjoy a well rounded diet of fresh fruits, vegetable, sprouts, beans and legumes, small portions of seed and pellets with occasional pieces of chicken and egg. For a list of parrot safe and un-safe foods click on our “Eclectus Yum Yum’s” page.
Parrots require physical exercise each and every day, and we find this to be easiest when the bird can accomplish what is natural, to fly. NO bird will be sold with clipped wings, or to a home that wishes to do so. For this reason the birds are trained to wear a harness and go for walks outside throughout their raising process. Canopy aviaries tailor makes harnesses which is included in the adoption fee of each bird. We have discussed some harnesses we have tried on "Our Harness" link under "Why Fly?". Mental stimulation is another important aspect of parrot care. There are many kinds of toys and puzzles available for preening, foraging, chewing and entertaining your friend. Trick training is another great way to increase your birds intelligence and increase you bond with your bird, it is also a great way to impress all of your friends. Mental stimulation can prevent and often ‘cure’ many feather plucking and behavioral issues as well as uncovering that dream bird. Providing a fresh range of native flora is another excellent way of keeping your baby happy daily. Details are found on the “Natural Chew Toy’s” page. Babies can be picked up in person or freighted Australia wide; to approved homes only. Handy Contacts.
