Nico’s Thread 😊

Nico has been doing excellent. I haven’t seen him feather pluck at all to any extent since I adopted my macaw. He actually seems to be doing better. He’s trying new foods that I couldn’t get him to try before. I was extremely worried about Nico with his emotional sensitivities. He shares a room with my macaw. I am hoping this isn’t the quiet before a huge storm.

I was gone for the entire day last Friday. I maybe spent an hour with Nico if that. Usually I’d get home, and cry because he would rip out so many feathers. I always feel terrible for leaving him. There was no feathers plucked, and it didn’t seem to faze him that I was gone.

That's amazing news! I'm so happy for you and Nico! 🥰

Nico has a tail again ❤️❤️ it’s been barbered but he actually has a tail. I’ll take the win in the situation. He has red & blue feathers on his wings. When I adopted him he didn’t have these feathers so I didn’t even know Ekkie’s had these colors. Nico was adopted fairly quickly, and unexpected so I didn’t get a lot of time to research on Ekkie’s.

Nico is currently upset, and frustrated with me. I’m making it difficult for him to mate with me. I’m trying to encourage a more parront to Ekkie relationship. I’ve gotten him to forge more lately. I wonder if him watching my macaw forage if that’s what’s also been encouraging the behavior. Nico’s actually playing with toys too.
 
Looking good, Nico! ❤️
