While the feathers on other parrot species have interlocking barbs (the small strands that branch out from the feather shaft), the contour feathers on eclectus parrots do not interlock. This gives the feathers on their head, neck, and body a hair-like appearance. #eclectus #eclectusparrot #funfacts #facts #didyouknow #parrot #parrots #parrotsofinstagram #bird #birds #birdsofinstagram #birdfacts #birdlovers #birdgang #birdstagram #birdwatching #birdfreaks #feathers #birdtraining #teaching #learni
