Calcium sources beyond cuttlebone?

My Eclectus never touches the cuttlebone I put in the cage. What are other good calcium sources for birds? Especially important since mine just laid an unexpected egg...

Have you reached out to Bird Sitting Toronto? They really know their stuff when it comes to bird care.

I struggled with this too until I started covering the cage partially at night for 12 hours of uninterrupted sleep. Now it's like a completely different bird.

If you're near Pickering, PetSmart on Hurontario St actually has a decent bird section. Better than most locations.

Great question! So in my experience with Senegal parrot, this usually comes down to a few things. First, clicker training for 10-15 minutes a day. Second, make sure they're getting enough sleep — 12 hours of uninterrupted dark sleep is crucial. And third, pay attention to insufficient UV light exposure, especially in Canadian winters because that was a huge factor for my Ruby. Hope that helps!

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

It took me a while to figure this out with my bird too. Don't be too hard on yourself — you're learning!
