Are Eclectus loud?

Answered by Edward Huber

Eclectus Parrots can be loud, although they are not as loud as some of their larger parrot relatives. It’s important to note that the loudness of a parrot’s call can vary depending on the individual bird, so some Eclectus Parrots may be louder than others.

The natural call of the Eclectus Parrot is known to be quite loud, and some people may find it difficult to cope with. This is something to consider if you are thinking about getting an Eclectus Parrot as a pet. It’s important to be prepared for the noise level and to take steps to manage it if necessary.

However, it’s worth mentioning that not all Eclectus Parrots are constantly loud. Like any pet, their behavior can vary depending on their environment, training, and individual personality. Some Eclectus Parrots may be quieter and more reserved, while others may be more vocal and lively.

When it comes to taming and training, the Eclectus Parrot is generally considered to be one of the easier parrot species to work with. They are known for their intelligence and ability to learn, which makes them more receptive to training and socialization. With patience, consistency, and positive reinforcement, Eclectus Parrots can become very affectionate pets.

It’s important to note that while Eclectus Parrots can be tamed and trained, they still retain their natural instincts and behaviors. This means that even a well-trained Eclectus Parrot may still exhibit some loud vocalizations, especially during certain times of the day or when they are excited or seeking attention.

To manage the loudness of an Eclectus Parrot, it’s important to provide them with plenty of mental and physical stimulation. This can include providing them with toys, puzzles, and activities that keep their minds engaged and provide an outlet for their natural behaviors. Regular interaction, playtime, and socialization with their human caregivers can also help to keep them mentally stimulated and reduce excessive vocalizations.

While Eclectus Parrots are not as loud as some other parrot species, they do have a naturally loud call that some people may find challenging to cope with. However, with proper training, socialization, and environmental enrichment, their loudness can be managed. It’s important to consider the noise level of an Eclectus Parrot before bringing one into your home and to be prepared to provide the necessary care and attention to meet their needs.
