I don't currently, but I did for many years. Is it an adult or a baby ? Was it a pet ? Male or female ?
she is 20 and she has been a pet for the last 16 yrs . Now I have had parrots all my life my mother got me an African grey when I was 6 he passed about 5 yrs ago have not had a bird since , I had no idea he was sick I found him passed away in the bottom the cage .I have read everything I can get my hands on she will be here Monday morning . I know what they eat fruit and veggies should make up about 80 percent of their diet . they also like to eat pasta and beans and some nuts . I m going to leave her alone for about a week until she gets used to me . I have also had amazons and one amazon was so mean I had to re home him to someone who was better equipped to handle him . But I had a yellow nape amazon who was beautiful but he was already about 45 when I adopted him and he also passed but he was so sweet he leaned how to say mama and I love you . so please let me know anything else I should know about an eclectus thank you .

Definitely confirm the bird's current diet from the current owner. If the bird is 20, I wouldn't recommend any radical changes of the diet. Yes, fruit and veggies are a preferred/healthier diet than just seed, but seed or pellets should be part of the diet.
I had raised breeding adults and some hand-fed babies over the years. In my experience, they may talk but are not fantastic talkers. They are beautiful birds (both male and female) and can make nice pets depending on how much they were handled. I have seen very gentle Eclectus and some rather vicious ones.
While I might not be able to answer every question, I will offer as much information as I can and I would be happy to help.

Thank you so much . Of course I hope this does not fall through . I had one lady last year and it fell through and it was heartbreaking so you know anything could happen . I never count on anything until it is in hand . This lady that had the African grey last year said she decided at the last minute she changed her mind and of course I was heartbroken . It was also a nightmare too . One month she would call me I want you to adopt and then a couple of days later I have changed my mind and this went on for about three months until we finally had to tell her to please stop calling me and breaking my heart . That sort of thing and I hope this woman is not of that caliber you know ? It is always iffy when you are dealing with some people .
well it fell through it amazes me how people can lie so easily to you on the phone . im so disappointed but there might be a reason for it falling through and maybe the Good Lord is keeping me from a problem that would occur.
