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

Hi everyone! I recently adopted a rescue Senegal parrot from a shelter near Oshawa. Their name is Captain (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!! Looking forward to hearing more about your feathered friend. Don't be shy about asking questions!

Hey welcome! You'll love this community. Feel free to ask anything, everyone here is super helpful!

I got mine from Global Pet Foods in Brampton. Great selection and the staff actually knows about birds.

Couldn't agree more. This has been my experience as well.

Check out Ren's Pets — they have exactly what you need and the prices are reasonable for the GTA.

I know how stressful this can be. Just know you're not alone and most of us have been through something similar.
