Question
I would like to know at what age should a baby electus be feeding by itself and what does their diet consist of. That is a handreared red (female) electus.

Answer
Hi Jacky,

Unfortunately, the Eclectus are a species I am not incredibly versed about.  I would recommend you visit a great website www.landofvos.com . I do know that Eclectus parrots require quite a bit of fresh foods for their diet, as they have extra special dietary requirements.  That website is chalked full of lots of information about the Eclectus parrot.

I hope this helps and wish you the best.
