Been thinking about adopting a rescue instead of buying from a breeder. Any experiences with rescue birds in Ontario? What should I expect in terms of behavioral challenges? Which rescue organizations do you recommend?

I switched to Roudybush last year and haven't looked back. My Hahn's macaw's feathers have never looked better.

Update: took everyone's advice and things are improving. Echo is slowly coming around. This forum is the best.

Just wanted to come back and say the advice in this thread WORKED. My zebra finch finally stopped being hormonal and aggressive after I tried stuffing paper towel rolls with treats for foraging.

What worked for me was spending at minimum 2 hours of supervised out-of-cage time daily. Took about a week but my zebra finch responded really well to it.

I could have written this post a year ago. Same situation, same frustration. Here's what I wish someone had told me: playing music during the day β€” my bird loves calm acoustic guitar. Would have saved me weeks of stress.
