Rescued a lineolated parakeet — need all the advice I can get!

Hi everyone! I recently adopted a rescue lovebird from a shelter near Vaughan. Their name is Tango (the shelter named them but it stuck). They're a bit shy and don't trust easily — no idea what their previous situation was. I want to give them the absolute best life possible. Any tips for helping a rescue bird settle in and learn to trust again?

Hey welcome! You'll love this community. Feel free to ask anything, everyone here is super helpful!

Welcome! I remember being a new bird owner and this kind of community helped SO much. Excited to have you!

Welcome to the forum! Great to have another bird lover from the GTA. Your zebra finch sounds adorable — what's their personality like?

If you're in Etobicoke, check out the avian vet on Yonge St. They're amazing with zebra finch specifically.

I actually disagree with this. In my experience with my Indian Ringneck, the opposite was true. But I know every bird is different.
