New here with an Ekkie

[Sophieskitchen]

Hi Everyone! Im new here and wanted to introduce myself. My name is Stacey, I have a female ekkie and her name is Sophie. I have had her since she was 9 months old and she is 4 years old now. She is fully flighted and target trained. When she was younger i was able to cuddle her but she is now a hands off type of bird...lol. She loves to hang out with me and be in what ever room im in and shower with me every day and supervise the daily chop making and watch tv with me haha...but she can be very moody and tempermental at times too. I have become pretty versed in her body language and respect her wishes. She is a pretty good talker and I love her. Her name is Sophie. Im glad to be here.

Welcome, and Sophie is a beautiful female Ekkie. I have always been curious on how they differ from the males. Nico my male Ekkie is also not a fan of being touched. He will sit on my shoulder all day long.

Hello to you and Nico! Oh Sophie would love to sit on my shoulder ....she trys but i do not trust her. She has bitten me and given me nerve damage (took 3 months to heal) so I dont take any chances with her. I will let her step up on me to transport her if need be but i dont much touch her other than that. She is very unpredictable...but also funny, clever, empathetic, and a beautiful soul. She is fully flighted so will usually fly from room to room and is always usually with me. I guess the relationship we have with our fids is complicated isnt it? ....lol. I look forward to reading and learning more about Nico!
