Jasmine Begging

Our female Eclectus is begging for Harvey to feed her like when she was a hatchling, but he has something else in mind...

Is there no possible medicine for this disease? They looked like such a nice couple.

I wish you what ever best can come out of this.

No, this is a virus. so, there's nothing she could have done after she was infected. Oddly enough, Harvey, other one in the video wasn't affected. So, in truth, no one really knows what to do yet. They are working really hard in Australia, but nothing in the states really is going on that i know of.

how is jasmine now?

[jakethegringo]

Jasmine doesn't know she has the desiese, so she is doing fine. I hope she has at least a couple more years with us, but at the moment she has lost all her head feathers, her neck and now some of her chest feathers. It's really sad to see, but the trick is not to let her know that you're sad. Jazzy is the sweetest little bird you'll ever meet and i'm blessed to have known her this long. :)

Aw! So cute ;D

You should probly let them have babies and sell them, hand raise them and everything and all.or just keep the babies!

[jakethegringo]

i would, but now that she has this disease, i can't. I'm not sure i want to say goodbye to my little jazzy. :(

(for LRMac99) these are the kinds of birds that are SEXUALLY DIMORPHIC... which means that you can tell the gender by the differences in their traits

im sorry to hear about tat

[camilkuo]

My grey passed away because PBFD either....

[coolpanda727]

it looked like they were KISSING =]

Also I've noticed, in most parrot species where the female is dominant (same with eclectus, on average atleast), the male seems to be very active. Maybe its b/c he's aware of his position in the relationship and stays on alert :)

[sadgreen]

Maybe if the immune system of the bird is strong then the chances of them getting infected are slimmer.

This species is said to be one of the best talking parrots, in contrast to the amazons. The african grey is also a great talker (better known for intelligence), but mostly stays quiet. The alexandrine is also known to be a good talker. But we must remember with intelligence comes responsibility (on the owners part).

Any idea how much their vocabulary is?

Thanks for the info. I kind of have a passion for birds, even thinking of becoming a vet (but already an engineer), but I think an easier way would be to just start reading basic books on bird diseases.

I dont know if you are interested, but if you have not done already, I would recommend looking into books on parrot behaviour. One that I read was "My parrot, My friend". The knowledge I gained from this behaviour book gave me the next level insight about parrots.
