~ Eclectus Parrots ~ Native to Indonesia and New Guinea, these handsome birds require a high-fiber diet with lots of fruit and greens. The name Eclectus comes from the word Eclectic that means from various sources, referring to the disparate colours of the male and female. The first thing many notice when they first see a pair of Eclectus is the vast contrast in colours of the male and female, in other words sexual dimorphism. The only parrot you can tell the sexes apart is the Eclectus parrot. Interesting features of the Eclectus are their feathered cere and their hair like feathers, especially noticeable on their heads and breasts. Eclectus never go into a hard molt but rather drop a few feathers about three times a year, making it almost unnoticeable. This article is licensed under the GNU Free Documentation License.
