Blue eclectus parrot for sale

Unique charm of the Blue eclectus parrot for sale—a rare and stunning parrot with a captivating recessive mutation that gives it its brilliant blue plumage. This exotic bird is not just visually striking but also a fascinating genetic marvel. Both male and female Blue Eclectus parrots carry the blue gene, and when both parents pass this gene to their offspring, the result is a magnificent blue baby parrot. Even if only one parent passes the gene, the baby will carry the potential for blue offspring, known as a “split.”

Breeding Possibilities:

• Blue x Blue = 100% Blue offspring (both males and females)
• Blue x Split = 50% Blue + 50% Splits (both males and females)
• Blue x Normal = 100% Splits (both males and females)
• Split x Split = 50% Splits + 25% Blue + 25% Normal (both males and females)
• Split x Normal = 50% Splits + 50% Normal (both males and females)

The Blue Solomon Island Eclectus is not just about beauty; it’s also about personality. Known for their gentle and tranquil nature, these parrots thrive on social interaction and are incredibly affectionate, making them perfect companions for dedicated bird lovers. Their intelligence is unmatched, and they are quick learners, making them ideal candidates for speech training.

Care and Housing: To ensure your Blue Solomon Island Eclectus lives a happy and healthy life, it’s essential to provide them with plenty of space to fly, climb, and play. An aviary measuring 11 feet long, 3 feet wide, and 7 feet high is ideal for a pair, but if space is limited, a cage no smaller than 2 feet long, 3 feet wide, and 4 feet tall will suffice.

Diet and Exercise: This species requires a diet rich in fresh fruits, vegetables, and high-fiber, low-fat foods to maintain their vibrant color and overall health. Regular exercise is also crucial, with at least an hour of free flight time twice a day to keep them active and engaged.
