Hello. Do any of you know how the eclectuses are like? Is there a difference between the vosmeri and the solomon island eclectuses apart from their looks? I must admit I find it almost to good to be true that these buetifull eclectuses are also long lived ad awesome talkers. As some others are, I am still deciding and reading up on Timneh AG and the eclectus as my fist bird as a pet. So I am doing all the studies I can on them. Thanks a head of time! This forum has been so great, especially the cookbook post!

Great to know I wont have to give the air-conditioning then! As for the location I am in East Maryland.

My heart was caught when in a pet store in Maryland where I am there is a yellow-head amazon. Despite it's cage being in the middle of the store the amazon was perfectly content in the middle perch singing a tune and it's name. It's the first time I had ever seen a parrot since 2 years ago. Absolutly buetifull (bad spelling?). So I have a few questions before I contact some breeders, hat questions have you asked? What are things to look for in a good breeder? I am still wondering on exactly how aggressive an amazon gets when he/she hits maturity. What has your experience been with your amazon? Sorry for all the questions but I have been reading many bird books on parrots and am interested in them for a couple of years now. I have never had a parrot before though but I feel up to the task from all of my readings, more than enough to give up on my teflon pan and airconditioner(bad spelling?). Again, thanks and can't wait to joint the family!

@KimKim, Doesn't the color ink poisonous from the phone book? Great idea though! Who needs a toy shop?

I'm not sure but I think the oldest african grey in his first life lived to be 92 years old.

Thanks! I just have one remainding question. . . I have read that when some people first take their parrot home some leave the parrot in the cage for a couple of days to get used to the new environment while others wrap the parrot up in the towel and speaks to it softly in a quiet room when they first get the parrot home. So what is preferable when we first bring our parrot home? Is there anything else we do once we get our parrot? Thanks! You guys have been so helpful. The threads are great.

I currently don't have any birds in the home. I won't be getting any bird anytime soon, until I finish deciding. I got about 4 different breeders in my mind and I am chatting with them to see. Currently I am thinking on getting a TAG first in about a year or so, then maybe an eclectus if I can give it the love it needs. And then a B&G macaw. But this will be in a couple years from now. Anyways, thanks! Can't wait till I can join the grey world!

I'm confused which I should buy. Price is not a problem. All three seem to be very good parrots, I just can't decide which would be a better buy? Thanks in advance!
