What is the best nesting material for Eclectus? I have heard not to use cedar and not to use pine, but that is most of the wood chips sold in the stores. :th_LOL:

I used Aspen when I bred cockatiels.

Welcome to the forum! We'd love to hear more about your ekkies and we love pictures!

Welcome to the forum Gartina. I don't breed birds so I would not know. Would love to see your birds and chicks if you already have babies.:th_biggrin:

I do have a female Solomon Island Eclectus. Miss Leyla Belle, she is the 'Diva' of my flock! She is totally rotten, but I love her dearly & she is my best talker of all my birds.

Thank you everyone for your help! I have some nice pictures but I haven't been able to get them to upload. Still working on that!
