Common questions

How long do Aruensis Island Eclectus live?

Aruensis Island Eclectus typically live 30-40 years in good conditions. That is a long commitment for any household, and worth planning for before buying rather than after.

How loud are Aruensis Island Eclectus?

Moderate. Noise is the most common reason parrots are rehomed, so it is worth being honest with yourself about your home, your neighbours and the hours you keep before choosing a species.

Do Aruensis Island Eclectus talk?

Good talker. No individual bird can be promised to speak, whatever the species is known for, so buy for the company rather than the conversation.

What size cage does a Aruensis Island Eclectus need?

A minimum of 36in x 24in x 48in, and wider matters more than taller - birds fly across rather than up. Treat any minimum as a floor rather than a target.

Are Aruensis Island Eclectus good for a first-time owner?

For experienced keepers. Ask any breeder directly what they think of the match - a breeder who talks you out of a species is worth more than one who does not.

Do Aruensis Island Eclectus produce a lot of dust?

Low. It matters more than most people expect for anyone with asthma, and it is worth raising with a doctor before buying rather than afterwards.
