Personality: Eclectus are very laid back and tranquil! They easily become part of the family with how easy going they are! They are very intelligent birds and require a great deal of mental stimulation to keep them from getting bored. Foraging toys are great for this, as well as daily interaction! Females do tend to exhibit more nesting/territorial behaviors, so you will find that they are more dominating and can have more of an attitude than the males do.
