Treasure_Hunter's Parrots, Ruby and Jade...........An Eclectus and a Quaker
Ruby is a female Eclectus Parrot (Vasmaeri is her sub specie)
The Eclectus Parrot is native to the Solomon Islands, New Guinea, northeastern Australia and the Maluku Islands (Moluccas).
Eclectus are remarkable birds and they ideally suited as a pet. When taught properly, they are capable of cognitive behaviour from a very young age.
They will bond to entire family, where many other parrots only bond to one family member, will tollerate a second member and all others better beware.
Eclectus parrots are generally classified among the top three parrots for talking ability. Rivaling the African Grey and the talking Amazon parrots in clarity of speech and scope of vocabulary, they not only repeat many words and phrases but some learn entire songs.
On average they will live 30 years if taken care of.......
Jade is a Quaker Parrot, also known as a Monk Parrot. She was a Christmas present I gave to my wife in 2003.
Quakers are very confident and social birds. They love to interact with their "flock" and are known around the world for their exceptional talking ability. In captivity, they tend to bond very closely with one person, and are known for their loyal nature. Most hand fed Quakers are quite gentle and many make wonderful pets for younger bird owners.
Jade is a momma's girl, she has bonded well with me, but she still is my wifes parrot. She is a very sweet parrot, who will nuzzle with you one moment and give you a love bite the next....
Here is Jade on Christmas Day, 6 months old.
