I know what you mean w/ the yellow feathers. I originally thought it was yellow feathers from being a plucker/prior plucker; but coupled w/ a yellow lower mandible. . . ????

yes, this is the first time i've seen yellow lower mandible ..... hmm very tempting .... :lol:

If I were you I would think twice about that. His feather is in very bad condition, and I remember reading somewhere that a corn beak is a sign of disease.

I'll try to find the source and post it if I do. Corn lower mandible is definitely not normal for an Eclectus.

this one has a candy corn lower mandible as well ....but the test at vet shows that he's healthy. plus his feet are pale/ivory instead of black. :shock:

I'm just wondering why you find this parrot more interesting because he has a corn beak ?

Have you read all about Eclectus and know that they have different needs ?
