Why? </div> <div> (I found out that there´s only 1 specie and 10 subspecies) </div> <bR> <div> 1) Eclectus are used as well as pet birds (tamed finger birds) and </div> <div> cage birds? The 10 subspecies are easily socialized to be pet birds? </div> <div> Traditionally they are used as pet or cage birds? Please tell me examples </div> <div> of how tamed they could be (such as they get into your shoulder all day, </div> <div> loves biting carefully your ears, something like that..). How popular are </div> <div> Eclectus in USA? As much as Amazons? </div> <div> 2) Besides all the subspecies, are there mutations already fixed in </div> <div> captivity? In other words, are there mutations usually done with Eclectus? </div> <div> If there are, how many mutations can we find? </div> <div> 3) Is the hobby of fixing mutations something popular in the U.S? </div> <div> Eclectus´ breeders are involved with mutations such as ringnecks´ breeders? </div> <div> 4) What´s the main difference of Eclectus specifically talking about </div> <div> their behaviour? What makes this genus different than the others concerning </div> <div> their behaviour? </div> <div> (The answer for that question could be: It is the most ... or it is the </div> <div> less..., something like that for them to be different. The reason is for us </div> <div> to show to our readers that birds are really different concerning </div> <div> behaviour. So, someone that loves excited birds that are full time playing </div> <div> and making such a noise knows which one is best to buy and in the other </div> <div> hand, someone that wants to have a quiet bird also knows which one is best </div> <div> for him. You can compare with Conures, Ring Necks, African Grey, Lovebirds, </div> <div> Amazon Parrots, and so on, these popular birds) </div> <div> 5) Now, talking generally, what´s the great attraction of the family? </div> <div> (why should someone buy a Eclectus and not a cockatiel, for example?) </div> <div> 6) How can the Eclectus be socialized? All subspecies need to be </div> <div> handfed? Do you handfeed them from day one? When do you stop the </div> <div> handfeeding? </div> <div> 7) Do they learn how to speak or just scream or whistle? They can </div> <div> learn to speak as well as african greys? Do they scream as much as Conures? </div> <div> Have you ever heard one Eclectus talking? Please give examples of words </div> <div> that you have already heard them saying. </div> <div> 8) Are they playfull birds? Do they play inside their cages? Do you keep </div> <div> them with toys? </div> <div> 9) For how much do you sell them? </div> <div> Thanks for the attention. I gently ask if you can answer as soon as </div> <div> possible as I have very little time to have all my article done. ;o))) </div> <bR> <div> Best regards, </div> <div> Rachel Fujita </div> <div> <U>rachelfujita@uol.com.br</U><FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="arial" > </FONT></div> <div> Cães & Cia Magazine </div> <div> Ph.: +55 11 3673 9711 </div> <div> Fax: +55 11 3862 0595 </div> <bR> <bR> <div> ----------------------- Headers -------------------------------- </div> <div> Return-Path: <rachelfujita@uol.com.br> </div> <div> Received: from rly-yd01.mx.aol.com (rly-yd01.mail.aol.com [172.18.150.1]) </div> <div> by air-yd02.mail.aol.com (v78_r3.8) with ESMTP; Wed, 27 Jun 2001 16:32:06 </div> <div> -0400 </div> <div> Received: from toole.uol.com.br (toole.uol.com.br [200.231.206.186]) by </div> <div> rly-yd01.mx.aol.com (v79.20) with ESMTP id MAILRELAYINYD14-0627163143; Wed, </div> <div> 27 Jun 2001 16:31:43 -0400 </div> <div> Received: from forix ([200.207.5.15]) </div> <div> by toole.uol.com.br (8.9.1/8.9.1) with SMTP id RAA15210 </div> <div> for <Cherane@aol.com>; Wed, 27 Jun 2001 17:30:14 -0300 (BRT) </div> <div> Message-ID: <007101c0ff48$da2722e0$0f05cfc8@terra.com.br> </div> <div> From: "Rachel Fujita" <rachelfujita@uol.com.br> </div> <div> To: <Cherane@aol.com> </div> <div> Subject: Brazilian journalist </div> <div> Date: Wed, 27 Jun 2001 17:36:32 -0300 </div> <div> MIME-Version: 1.0 </div> <div> Content-Type: multipart/alternative; </div> <div> boundary="----=_NextPart_000_006E_01C0FF2F.B4B0B800" </div> <div> X-Priority: 3 </div> <div> X-MSMail-Priority: Normal </div> <div> X-Mailer: Microsoft Outlook Express 5.00.2615.200 </div> <div> X-MimeOLE: Produced By Microsoft MimeOLE V5.00.2615.200 </div> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> </td> </tr></table></body>
