Considering adopting a rescue green cheek conure

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?

Totally agree with this! My Pionus is exactly the same way.

My vet in Aurora suggested putting treats inside paper cups, folded paper, or tissue for foraging and I noticed a change within the first week. Highly recommend.

How long have you had them? Sometimes it takes a while for birds to settle into a new home.

I joined a bird owners meetup group in the GTA — great way to get in-person advice and let the birds socialize. Check Facebook groups!

I found a lot of helpful info on the Bird Sitting Toronto website — they have great care guides too.

I respectfully disagree. I think it depends heavily on the individual bird. My Biscuit is the total opposite.

Which avian vet do you go to? I'm looking for a good one near Mississauga.
