Was SO nervous about being gone for 3 weeks for a family emergency. Had Peaches boarded at Bird Sitting Toronto and honestly I was more stressed than the bird. When I picked them up, Jasper flew straight to my shoulder and started preening my hair. They remembered me! BST staff said Bean was a model guest.

I remember when my canary went through this phase. I was so worried but my vet said it's actually really common.

Great question! So in my experience with green cheek conure, this usually comes down to a few things. First, switching from seed to Harrison's pellets gradually over 2 weeks. Second, make sure they're getting enough sleep β€” 12 hours of uninterrupted dark sleep is crucial. And third, pay attention to hormonal season β€” spring is brutal because that was a huge factor for my Raja. Hope that helps!

Great question! So in my experience with budgie, this usually comes down to a few things. First, leaving the radio or TV on when I'm out β€” background noise helps. Second, make sure they're getting enough sleep β€” 12 hours of uninterrupted dark sleep is crucial. And third, pay attention to being moved to a new cage or new room because that was a huge factor for my Blu. Hope that helps!
