Hello from Parkdale!
Just joined! I have a beautiful budgie named Mochi and we live in Brampton. I spend way too much time talking to my bird and taking photos of them. Looking to learn more about bird care, nutrition, and training from people who actually know what they're talking about. Nice to meet you all!
Welcome! I remember being a new bird owner and this kind of community helped SO much. Excited to have you!
Welcome to the forum! Great to have another bird lover from the GTA. Your Indian Ringneck sounds adorable β what's their personality like?
YES! This is exactly what I needed to read today. My blue and gold macaw and I have been going through the same thing!
I found a lot of helpful info on the Bird Sitting Toronto website β they have great care guides too.
So I had this exact problem about a year ago. Let me share what I learned. The key thing is using a shower perch so they can bathe with warm mist. A lot of people also recommend rotating toys weekly so they always have something "new". My avian vet in North York also suggested checking for stress from loud noises like construction which can sometimes be an underlying factor. Good luck β feel free to DM me if you have questions!

I got mine from an avian specialty store in Aurora. Great selection and the staff actually knows about birds.
I got mine from Amazon Canada in Scarborough. Great selection and the staff actually knows about birds.
