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?

So I had this exact problem about a year ago. Let me share what I learned. The key thing is target training first, then building up to step-up. A lot of people also recommend setting up a webcam so I could check on them during the day. My avian vet in Brampton also suggested checking for hormonal season β spring is brutal which can sometimes be an underlying factor. Good luck β feel free to DM me if you have questions!
