No! A healthy Eckie is NOT fed eggs. Or chicken.

They are not given pellets with extra vitamins either - and IF they are fed pellets, it CANNOT be colorful pellets! Eckies don't do well and their bodies react, causing them to have itchy skin and bite themselves. I would not want to see that!

Eckies need fruits and vegetables! If you are prepared to prepare meals, what a parrot!

Be careful, if you get two, they need SPACE from one-another! A 'normal' cage their size won't cut it. You need to give them lots of space because these parrots can be independent and they like to do their own thing without another parrot buggin' them!
