Hi there, I am so sorry to hear about your Ekkie Bonnie I have a male Ekkie who isn't the healthiest boy you'll come across. He has elevated labs, and bornavirus. He also is a feather plucker. He is just a very sensitive boy. Diet is so important. Nico is on a prescription diet (pellets), and I give him chop, or fresh food as well. I was informed to keep an eye on Nico's weight. He's gained weight sense he's lived with me. Which I was told was a good thing as he was underweight when I got him 8 months ago (he is 15-18 years old). Nico is VERY hormonal. He masterbaits, and regurgitates constantly (with multiple objects). He also see's me as his mate which I did everything to try to prevent. He is a nasty little bugger to my husband. If Nico is on my shoulder, and my husband try's to sit by me. Nico will without a doubt try to attack my husband. He also will try to attack my husband for trying to clean his cage. Hormones are also something to consider when it comes to your ekkie. Nico also gets stressed out very easily in comparison to my conure. I do my best to make sure that Nico gets 12 hours of sleep a night with no interruptions. I hope something in here helps! Please feel free to reach out to me for help.
