Hello from the Danforth!

Just joined! I have a beautiful parrotlet named Mochi and we live in Oshawa. 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!

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

Nice to meet you! Always great to connect with fellow bird owners. You're going to fit right in here!

Welcome to the forum! Great to have another bird lover from the GTA. Your African Grey sounds adorable — what's their personality like?

Hmm, I'm on the fence about this one. Part of me agrees but then I think about my experience with Skittles and it doesn't quite line up.

Reading this hit home. My Amazon parrot went through the same phase around the same age. What helped us was getting a kitchen scale and weighing them weekly to track health. Also just accepting that birds are gonna bird, you know?

Totally agree with this! My Eclectus is exactly the same way.

What does their diet look like? Sometimes these things are diet-related.

I remember when my Quaker parrot went through this phase. I was so worried but my vet said it's actually really common.
