Eclectus toe tapping and wing flipping issues
Image above – Female Eclectus r. vosmaeri at North Carolina Zoo, no other subspecies combines a purple abdomen and clear yellow undertail coverts.
Hi Mitch,
I just read your piece on eclectus, and I have a question.
If the elongated digestive tract is urban myth, then why does my bird develop the eclectus toe-tapping and wing-flipping if he has been given regular pellets and/or too many vitamins?
What would cause this?
Thanks,
Barbara

How can you get rid of the little brown bugs that come around the bird food without hurting the birds? Is there a spray or something I can order?
Thanks for your help, Carol in Tennessee

Knowing what kind of bugs they are is half the battle.

Eclectus Parrot Elongated Digestive Tract – Fact Or Fiction?
Here’s an earlier eclectus parrot feeding question from our database:
I’ve read different articles on how much fruit to give my ekkies.
Some say it is ok to give them as much as they eat and others say the veggies should be their top priority.
I do try to give them an equal amount but it seems they have gotten picky about their vegetables lately.
I have been giving them different varieties and mixing up how I serve them – warm, cool, different spices on them but they still prefer the fruit.
