Pay no heed to rich, there always has to be a critic. I found your post charming and interesting. My male eclectus Darwin wants a girlfriend in the worst way. Due to career issues, I cannot introduce another bird into the flock, much less have babies to deal with. Please keep the vids coming.
@RichTheBlack I'm not sure what you are criticizing us for Rich. We brought Pally into HER territory, and SHE loves green guys. We have had two other males. Pally had a temporary sleep cage until his huge Kings cage arrived, so he got a chance to acclimate on his own. It's not like we just threw them into a flight together and said "you guys work it out" BTW, they are not paired up (Pally is not interested in redheads).
Eclectus Parrots. Native to the south pacific from the northern part of Australia up to New Guinea. Now where else in the world. and no other kind that has male and female so differently colored.
@alnizia Yes and no. Parrots "do not make good pets". Their owners "make them good pets". Eclectus are exceptionally good if raised, weaned and fledged correctly. I wouldn't call them "moody". Their hormone cycles and bonding issues are not as great as others. Believe or not, a half-wild breeder is less likely to bite you, than a spoiled "pet".
You've got it partially right. It was Bella's cage, and she was doing what female Ekkies do: dominating a potential mate. Unfortunately, Pally was far too inprinted on people to know how to handle her advances, so although they co-exist, I doubt they'd ever pair up.
This scenario seems more like the female bird's territory is the cage, and the male just crossed that boundary. She seems like she wants to attack him more than admiring him. The eclectus species is female dominated so I wouldn't be surprised. Although some odd parrots are just the opposite nature and welcome new comers.
So my question is: was this a successful happy meeting when you allowed them within contact range (not shown in the video)?
Sometimes they like it warm, sometimes cool. If they are not enjoying it you can tell. Watch " Pally & Bella in the shower" to see them enjoying it. We have a water filter. if you don't and your water is not good, I'd use bottled water.
did they get on, after meating 4 the first time

Cute and all, I must say, not the best way to introduce each other.
As you said, “I wanted to get her first site of him on video".
So the priority is not for the parrot then, being her?
There might be something that was missed prior to this video, like an actual greeting and bonding process.
If not, this is not the way to introduce highly intelligent birds like Eclectus to each other, nor any bird for that matter!

Bella is beautiful! Do Eclectuses make good pets? Are they moody? Do they bite often?

How well have the birds lived together up till now? Looking at how you guys handle your birds, I'm guessing they've done well together.
