It's cold, it's dark, and my lineolated parakeet seems bored out of their mind. What enrichment activities do you do during the long Canadian winter months? We can't do outdoor time for half the year so I need indoor ideas.

I've done a ton of research on this because my canary had the same issue. Here's what I learned: the most common cause is a subtle environmental change you might not even notice. What worked for us was removing mirrors from the cage β can cause hormonal or aggressive behavior. I also started joining an online support group for African Grey owners and noticed improvement within a week. It's a process but it gets better.
