Eclectus parrots are very special birds, and while each of these birds have common traits and habits, each bird is unique in his or her own way just as people are. There has been a great deal of research done concerning human personalities, but very little concerning the personality of Eclectus parrots. There are, however, numerous factors that determine the personality of these birds.

Take, for instance, socialization. If a chick is handled a great deal by his breeder, he will most likely be very social. However, if he is largely ignored, and only given the absolute minimal attention, he will most likely have pretty serious behavior problems that make him undesirable as a pet. He may be mean tempered, and his upbringing, so to speak, plays a role in that mean temper.

As you can see, for the most part an Eclectus parrot’s personality is determined by his surroundings, and the people in those surroundings just a child’s personality is formed and developed. Therefore, if you want a sweet, loveable bird, you must be sweet and loveable to the bird.

It is vastly important that you have a clear understanding of your Eclectus parrots personality. If there ever comes a time when your parrot doesn’t feel well, or all is not right in his world, his personality will be the first change that you notice. A social bird may become a bit withdrawn. A loveable bird may become aggressive.

Also understand that Eclectus parrots become accustomed to things, and expect it all of the time. For example, if you spend an exorbitant amount of time with him the first few weeks that he is in your home, but then cut back the amount of time that you spend with him, he will most likely act out.

Overall, your Eclectus parrot will give you a serene feeling. His calm demeanor will make you calm. He can also be very funny at times, and as much as you enjoy his antics, he will enjoy making you laugh. He will perform tricks for you, in an effort to please you and you must let him know that you are indeed pleased.

When you teach your Eclectus parrot to talk and sing, you will find that he has even more personality. He will happily chatter, with the most pleasant voice, and when he sings for you, you will find yourself enthralled.

Aside from his verbal skills, and his overall pleasing attitude, you will also find that your parrot is highly interested in everything that you do. It is important that you allow him to watch, and when it is safe, to even help. This is part of his socialization, and his personality. Some Eclectus parrots are more curious than others, and some simply want to investigate anything and everything, while others just want to see, but not investigate too closely.

Regardless, you can be sure that your Eclectus parrot is unlike any other bird of his breed. He has his own personality, and that personality is, for the most part, determined by you.
