Because my mother and father don't understand my excited one-sided conversation about Sushi over the phone I need a forum to let out all my love for my ekkie--even if she is extremely lazy.
So it's been about a month with the little lady, who takes more naps then I can count, and every day it's getting better! All my concerns about her being loud in the apartment were unfounded--we've only heard her squawk real loud about five times so far. Other then that, she'll talk around noon for a few hours and then make soft cooing hums for the rest of the day. She still won't talk in front of us, but some of her noises are starting to sound like how I say 'Hi' to her.
We've purchased lots of toys for her, but she doesn't play with any of them. The only toys she'll use are the shreddable ones, which are gone within a day.
Luckily her appetite is perfect now. She'll eat just about anything. The bald patches around her eyes are even growing in now! Her favorites are okra, grapes, spinach & black beans, with her always trying to get some of our coffee.
I just wish she played a bit more; she loves napping & sitting on us as we pet her, but a lot of other birds seem more active. Is she lazy or is that just an ekkie thing?
Lots of love from Maria & Sush-nugget.
