Things my canary has stolen this week — a list

Monday: my earring (while I was wearing it). Tuesday: a piece of pasta off my plate. Wednesday: my phone charger cable. Thursday: a $20 bill off the counter. Friday: my will to live. What has YOUR bird stolen recently? I need to know I'm not alone.

I've done a ton of research on this because my budgie had the same issue. Here's what I learned: the most common cause is hormonal season — spring is brutal. What worked for us was adding foraging opportunities to at least 3 different spots in the cage. I also started switching to a natural cleaning spray like F10 and noticed improvement within a week. It's a process but it gets better.

I showed this post to my bird and they looked at me with zero remorse. They know what they're doing.
