Nico got a car ride today so he is very happy, and honking non stop

I need to hear some of that honking... never heard an ekkie honk!

 

[HeatherG]

My pionus girls used to honk. Wow! What a loud noise! I wonder if it sounds like an Eclectus honk?

The Ekkie “honk” actually sounds a little like a goose

Nico wanted to share that he’s getting his vitamin d and having fun in the sun while everyone else is working… he doesn’t feel bad about it either.

 

[Cottonoid]

Awwww I love this!!!!

 

[HeatherG]

Look at that big old beak! So cute!

Costume idea:
You could dress niko up like the Great Pumpkin for Halloween. An orange frilly jacket would look great with his green feathers and bright orange beak.

Would he put up with that?

 

[kme3388]

Nico could be a pumpkin. I think he’s done being a Pokémon, and needs a new costume!

 

[HeatherG]

Orange fleece with a fuzzy green and brown “stem” collar?

Poor poor Niko. I have a pattern to make a baby mandalorian (baby Yoda) hat for Willow, and maybe a nice brown Jedi robe. I don’t know if he will allow me to dress him up or if he’ll forgive me after.

If I can pull off the Yoda ears I will be satisfied

 

[kme3388]

Nico is a good sport with dressing him up, and loves the attention. Don’t mess with his food though, or you are in for it! Willow would make a good Yoda!!!!

Well, if I do it, I’ll post a photo. Willow lets me wrap him up in a towel and squeeze him out, so maybe he’ll wear a hat with big ears for me.

Someone learned how to unzip their travel carrier, and let themselves out

 

[HeatherG]

Glad you found him before he got into any more mischief!

Photo of the month?

Everyone has such behaved parrots on here. Then there’s mine

My conure was playing a game of ruin jewelry this week. Just see if our beak can go through gold, and how many jewels or diamonds I can pick out (I have no idea why she randomly started doing this).

Nico is out exploring (found him under a car seat) because he’s learned how to let himself out of his carrier. I kept thinking I was forgetting to zip up his carrier. Then I was standing next to the carrier as he started unzipping it! This went on the last 4-5 times I had to use his carrier.

There is never a dull moment

 

[HeatherG]

Does his carrier have two zippers with pull tabs? If so, you can lock or clip them together. Or you could sew a metal or plastic ring onto Nico’s carrier and clip the zipper pull to the ring.

He has such a cute big orange beak!

 

[kme3388]

I started using sandwich bag ties because the pull tabs do have holes in them. I am not sure if I can find a lock small enough. Nico gets so mad now, and screams because he can’t escape. He wants his escaping privileges back

Smart boy!

 

[HeatherG]

Zip ties that you cut off when done?

Nico’s first cabin (camping) experience… he hates bugs, and screams at them Needless to say Nico hates nature, and would elect not to camp
