Bought a toy with really vibrant dyed wood pieces. Now I'm second-guessing if the dyes are bird-safe. How do you tell? Is there a list of safe toy materials I should reference? I don't want to risk it.

One thing that really helped was removing mirrors from the cage β€” can cause hormonal or aggressive behavior. Give it a try β€” can't hurt!

My lineolated parakeet did this too! Turned out it was because of not enough quality sleep β€” they need 10-12 hours uninterrupted. Once I addressed that, everything went back to normal.

I've had birds for 15 years and I've seen this many times. In my experience it usually comes down to jealousy of a new person, pet, or even object in the home.
