The female Eclectus is a beautiful red and purple and the male Eclectus is green in  color with a beautiful candy corn beak. They have a very strong screech sound, which could be a little intense when they’re excited. They’re not known for their talking. The male experiences seasonal feather loose around the head and neck. They are normally calm, quiet birds.  The Eclectus is one of the few dimorphic parrots where you can tell the male from the female. After their annual physical exam with Dr. Kersting they perched in the waiting room for a picture.

At Kersting Veterinary Hospital we are helping pets of all kinds get the smile they have been dreaming of😸

We are extending our 15% off of Dental Services through March!

Saliva and bacteria in the mouth allow plaque, tartar and calculus to attach to the enamel surface. As this moves to the gum tissue, gingivitis and disease below the gum line (periodontal disease) develop. Make sure those licks from your pet are clean and minty fresh!
Call us at 314-469-6661 to
get your fur babies on the schedule 🐾💕🐾
