Hello everyone I bought a new ekkie a week ago. I wanted to ask all of you for help and advice on owning a ekkie. Thanks!
 
Welcome and be welcomed. We have a few very experienced Ekkie owners, I'm sure they will be along shortly. I do know that they have very special dietary needs, but you likely have researched that out already. THat and most do NOT like bing scratched or touched even, tho there are always exceptions to any parrot rule.
 
Lots of folks around happy to help. Ekkies are certainly... different, but I adore them. Do you have any questions in particular?

Hi I can tell you one thing about my ekkie. She ADORES scratches! She always fly to my hand and just lay her head on my hand. No offence. I know most ekkie don’t like scratches.

Hi my question in particular is their diet. I had many birds over the years but ekkie are just…different.
 
Have you checked out the ekkie sub forum? There's lots of great information to be found there. This is a great informational read on diet:

Another good resource:

Otherwise, just scrolling through the ekkie forum will give you tons of info and ideas, and most importantly, first hand experience from other members. People who've been exactly in your shoes. :)

Do you have pictures of your girl that you'd like to share? We love pictures here, and ekkie girls (and boys, not that I'm biased) are gorgeous!
