With Toronto weather swinging wildly, what temperature do you keep your bird room at? My African Grey seems uncomfortable. Also, is the dry air from forced-air heating a concern? Should I get a humidifier?

The Toronto Humane Society sometimes has birds available for adoption too. Worth checking if you're in the downtown area.

YES! This is exactly what I needed to read today. My caique and I have been going through the same thing!

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

Absolutely love hearing success stories! This gives me so much hope for me and Captain. Thank you for sharing!

Dealt with this for months. What finally worked was changing how I approach the cage and just being really patient. They come around eventually.

I struggled with this too until I started leaving the radio or TV on when I'm out β€” background noise helps. Now it's like a completely different bird.
