Nico’s Thread 😊

He speaks his name so clearly. Sometimes when he says sentences I feel a little weird because it’s so clear. I know birds just mimic, but it’s still strange walking by a parrots cage who asks you how you are doing

Oh my gosh, Ekko is so much more nasally when he talks! What a precious voice Nico has

My husband has decided that Nico needs to be in bed by 8pm. He said he’s been hearing Nico awake and eating his pellets at 6am. We were keeping him awake until about 10pm. He would usually hang out with me all evening. Most of the time he’d just sit on his stand, and watch what’s going on. Other times he’d jump down, and want to be held. I miss the little green monster. I feel lost without him in the evening.

Nico is helping make Super Bowl food. I made deviled eggs. I just gave him his own plain egg (one of his favorite foods that he rarely gets). Otherwise he would never leave the other eggs alone.

Nico is taking a vacation in AZ. He never destroys anything, or plays with toys really. Well… he changed his mind today he doesn’t look sorry

What goes on tour stays on tour, isn't that right, Nico?! Hope you all have a wonderful vacay!!

Yesterday I was test driving cars. I wasn’t home a lot. Nico is upset today! He is letting me know I didn’t give him enough attention yesterday. He really doesn’t look sorry about his screams either

We must inspect every door, what’s behind it, dressers too… Nico needs help

Nico has a yellow feather now. I see a few more growing in. Apparently my conures won’t be the only ones with yellow feathers.

Nico is on a car ride in Minneapolis today. He’s so happy. His favorite thing is car rides!

That sure is one good-lookin' "man about town"! Glad you enjoyed your big day out, Nico!!

We are trying a new food for Nico. Wish me luck! Usually new things are a no go regardless of what it is. This food says it’s specifically for Ekkie’s. I listed it below encase anyone has had experience with it, and has suggestions because more than likely Nico will reject it.

Eclectus OWD 16oz

Awwwwwwwwww what a lovely soggy baby with such a sweet voice!

This Ekkie is spoiled rotten. I use a slap chopper just to get his peppers perfect. If I get lazy, and just chop up the peppers with a knife the peppers get flung everywhere. I cut up bananas & mangos. He spits them out on the counter, and then steps in it. Nico isn’t done yet… then he walks all over the counter with his sticky claws! Why?!? Just why?!?

Birds love to share their food with us. I call it it 'saving some for later' .

Nico loves picking bugs out of the flowers he’s a mean green bug eating machine

 

[GaleriaGila]

Bugs! Exciting!

I have caught the Rb with remains of two crickets over the years, decades apart... in both cases it was a big, barbed hind "jumping" leg. He was holding it in his foot. I presume the rest of the bug was either inside him or chewed to unrecognizable bits. I sometimes hear crickets at night in our rural house. I wonder if they have any idea of the dangers.
