What is it with Ekkies and pens? My 3 year old male would trade any of his expensive parrot toys for a cheap biro in a minute. I just have to make sure that once he's reached a certain level of pen destruction I take away the middle bit - I don't think a beak full of ink would improve his good looks! Oh, and it can be a bit annoying when I actually need to write something down as I can never find a pen...lol
that female seems nasty...u can see she tries to bite her own and the male when they try to take the pen..im not really into the female eclectus personalty...thats y i got a male
I LOVE the way he looks at his foot after she takes the pen away as if in disbelief, "she did it again!" It could be my two. Bossy female, green guy that puts up with it and tries to get in some fun sometimes, too.
I have met two male eclectus parrots who were both biters (one still is, one died). But they can be very good pets. I have a female and handfed her. Always played gently with her but when they mature they will still bite you during breeding season. You just have to accept that if you have a pet parrot it is very likely you will get bit sooner or later.
Good on ya then. I LOVE my birds. And help take care of some in a sanctuary, some of whom seem to be quite insane and would just love to rip my arm off even though I have never hurt them. But with some of them I suppose someone has hurt them so they just lash out.
Ohhh...he dropped it.

I'm thinking of getting an eclectus parrot but it will not be a female, they're something to deal with.

There actually Great pets to, the females. Female animals will always have more of an attitude. not just eclectus females.
=D

Very typical ekkie behavior, females are always bossy and take things from the males. Are yours an unrelated pair or siblings? I breed SI and Vos.

I have a female Ekkie and I know how they think everything is theirs. I love this movie it shows just how bossy they really are. Maddie

Ekkies are such gorgeous birds! And I've never met a male ekkie who wasn't laid back and gentle, I dream of having one someday.
