Eclectus Parrots meeting for the first time

This WONDERFUL video of a 5 month old female baby Solomon Island Eclectus was made at the first moment she was introduced to her new partner, a mature SI male.  It is one of the best examples of how a mature male of this species is genetically programmed to be caretakers of babies in the flock from any hen. Males are green, females red & purple.  Java is 4 years old and magnificent, a perfect example of the social qualities of Eclectus, and how supportive older males always are to youngsters in the flock.  I am just thrilled to finally have a video example of how easy the pairing an older male with a younger female truly is, especially if both are wonderfully social.  She was raised with a green male baby, so the first time she saw Java, she was comfortable with him.  Finally I have a video example of how easily a baby female that is raised properly will bond with an older male.  So much for the theory that Eclectus pets should be kept separated. It is interesting to note that on the day that this was filmed -- the tv in the background has the news flash that the sniper who was shooting people in Washington, DC had just been captured.  The two birds could not care less that the TV was on. It was love at first sight. The Pedicure Pedestal Perch is divided and perfect for them to interact for the first time. - www.prettyparrot.com
