The price for a Eclectus ranges from $799 – $1,999

The variance in price is effected by the following :

Fledgling – From $799

A fledgling that has been raised by its parents, is still a baby but has left the nest and is flying in an aviary. These birds can be taught to talk, however they are difficult to train unless highly experienced.

Handled Baby – From $1,199

A baby that has been fed by its parents and when it is a couple of weeks away from leaving the nest, we spend time handling it. This may be 15 minutes, 3-4 times per day up until it fledges. Then the baby is taken inside the house and with a bit more human attention will become friendly. With this type of Eclectus, constant handling is normally required to keep the bird perfectly tame.

Hand Reared Baby – This is the best way to invest in a baby companion pet for many kisses and cuddles. $1,999

Baby Eclectus are fragile little creatures and to hand rear one takes a lot of care and nurturing time. Therefore, hand reared birds sell for a higher price than one that is reared by its parents.

The hand rearing process starts at about 3 weeks where we hand feed the baby a specific formula five times throughout the day, including early morning and late night. Their feathers are cleaned after each feed and their bedding is cleaned at least twice a day to ensure a healthy environment for their growth and wellbeing. And this is only the beginning. As they grow, they need handling and human interaction throughout the day which accustoms them to being part of the family.

Above is a brief description of the time and effort it takes to hand rear and tame a baby Eclectus.  It is a very dedicated six-week period for our hand rearers who love what they do.

A birdcage is needed for your Eclectus parrot. There should be plenty of space for your bird to stretch its wings and move around. Minimum size of 90x140cm is recommended. More importantly, a playground or area where your parrot can be free.

This kind of bird needs to be out of its cage so they’ll stay super friendly.

At Victorian Bird Company, we provide a variety of playgrounds and stands perfect for your feathered friend.

Kindly check out our videos below of our Bird Cage Area and some playgrounds.
