Lookin' "large and in charge" out there, Nico, I hope you and your parronts are having a wonderful vacation!

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.

Good birdy, Nico! Those pretty tail feathers were made for shakin', not breakin'!!
