The Solomon Island Eclectus is regarded as the friendliest and most friendly of all the Eclectus parrots, which are known for their independence and weaker social relationships than other parrot species.
They are generally gregarious and, if given enough consideration, can make good companions, particularly for men. Females are typically a little more combative. Compared to many other large parrot species, Eclectus are less boisterous, although many of them can converse.
The Solomon Island Eclectus has a life expectancy of up to 30 years.
They are witty and have a propensity for gab. They are sociable, but they also thrive when given some independence. Eclectus needs a fairly flexible diet. We recommend eating a diet with as much variety as possible.
The Bismarck Archipelago and the Solomon Islands are home to Solomon Island Eclectus. They closely resemble red-sided Eclectus and are a little species of Eclectus. The male is an intense shade of forest green. In addition to blue bends to his wings and dark blue flight feathers, he displays beautiful red spots on his sides and underwing coverts. Visual distinctions between the males of the several subspecies are quite difficult to make, however, Solomon’s are often much smaller.
The Solomon Island Eclectus female is vivid red and resembles a smaller variant of the red-sided Eclectus in appearance. The head is red, and a blue band runs almost like a collar over the back and at the base of the neck, where the chest feathers start. Both the tail and the under tail coverts are crimson. The Solomon Island hen has pronounced blue eye rings like the red-sided hen. She has a black upper mandible and a black lower mandible, which is her beak.
Eclectus frequently presents as stoic, but he is curious about the world around him. Always give them toys, especially chewable ones like wooden blocks or other toys, as well as non-toxic tree branches. Companion Eclectus shouldn’t be allowed to roam the house unsupervised because they frequently discover harmful or hazardous items.
To prevent them from developing a fear of the unfamiliar, young Eclectus should be exposed to a variety of people and situations, including new cages, toys, trips to the veterinarian, being handled by friends, and having their wings and nails cut, etc.
