Can someone help me find a stuffed male (hence green) eclectus parrot for a gift? I’ve looked everywhere and not found one yet.

Male eclectus are very generic looking. Here’s a male eclectus [pillow](http://www.zazzle.com/male_eclectus_parrot_throw_pillow-189676257450178612). Lots of t shirts, notepads, ear-rings, etc.

Hey thanks for the link! I did not buy the one you posted, but I bought this adorably goofy pillow  
[http://www.zazzle.com/eclectus\_parrot\_male\_pillow-189738921220503572](http://www.zazzle.com/eclectus_parrot_male_pillow-189738921220503572)

and a t-shirt. I never bought from zazzle before so I didn’t even think of it.

Cool birds. I remember the story (apocryphal?) about how the male and female were originally thought to be two different species.
