Hi from Kitchener — proud budgie parent!

Hello! Been lurking on this forum for a bit and finally decided to make an account and participate. I've had my Senegal parrot Zazu for about 3 years now. Always nice to connect with other bird people in the GTA — most people I know think I'm crazy for having a bird lol. Excited to be here!

Welcome!! Looking forward to hearing more about your feathered friend. Don't be shy about asking questions!

For this I'd highly recommend Harrison's pellets. My cockatiel loves it and my vet approved it too.

I've had birds for 15 years and I've seen this many times. In my experience it usually comes down to not enough quality sleep — they need 10-12 hours uninterrupted.
