Eclectus Safety tools: what they help with
These tools help keep a eclectus out of trouble: toxic food and plant checkers, poison symptom guides and safety checklists for the home or yard. Many poisonings happen with everyday items that owners did not know were dangerous. Checking first takes seconds; treating a poisoned eclectus can take days.
What to know about safety and toxins for eclectus parrots
The problems seen most often in eclectus parrots are toe-tapping and wing-flipping from over-supplementation, feather plucking, obesity on pelleted diets and aspergillosis. Over a 30-50 year life, catching these early makes a real difference.
