We have a green cheeked conure, Archie, at our place and we are in LOVE with him. Such a great, great parrot and an awesome member of the family. I never thought I'd like a bird as a pet, but you don't know the personality they have until you own one, do you!
Anyway, I'd love to get another bird.. especially as I am moving out soon and Archie loves dad so much I couldn't bear seperating them... I have been looking into various birds and love the eclectus parrots. Males particularly I think. I have done a search of Google and the boards but thought I'd put up a thread too.. Does anybody own them? Recommend them as a pet? How much could I expect to pay for a young hand raised eccie? Size cage?
Please tell me all you know and feel free to share photos, stories etc!
