Rescued a Eclectus — need all the advice I can get!

Hi everyone! I recently adopted a rescue lineolated parakeet from a shelter near Newmarket. Their name is Maple (the shelter named them but it stuck). They're a bit shy and don't trust easily — no idea what their previous situation was. I want to give them the absolute best life possible. Any tips for helping a rescue bird settle in and learn to trust again?

Nice to meet you! Always great to connect with fellow bird owners. You're going to fit right in here!

Welcome to the forum! Great to have another bird lover from the GTA. Your Indian Ringneck sounds adorable — what's their personality like?

Welcome! I remember being a new bird owner and this kind of community helped SO much. Excited to have you!

Do you have other pets in the home? My Quaker parrot started acting differently when we got a cat.
