Switched from Harrison's to HARI Prime about a month ago. Here's my honest take: my African Grey likes the taste way more (actually eats it willingly vs throwing it on the floor). Consistency of droppings improved. Feather quality seems about the same. Price is comparable. Overall I'd give it a solid 8/10. Anyone else tried this brand?

Don't worry, this is super common with lineolated parakeet. You're doing great!

Oh man, this brings back memories. When we were dealing with this with Jade, I thought we'd never get through it. Now it's just a funny memory. It gets better, I promise.

So what I ended up doing was leaving the radio or TV on when I'm out — background noise helps. Within a few days there was a noticeable improvement. Definitely worth trying.

My vet in Leslieville suggested spending at minimum 2 hours of supervised out-of-cage time daily and I noticed a change within the first week. Highly recommend.

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