What's your bird's FULL name? The fancier the better

My budgie's legal name is Coco but their full government name is Basil McFeatherpants the Third, Destroyer of Almonds, Duke of the Living Room. Please share your bird's ridiculously elaborate full name. I know you have one.

My vet in downtown Toronto suggested target training first, then building up to step-up and I noticed a change within the first week. Highly recommend.

Can we start a support group for this? Because SAME.

The Toronto Humane Society sometimes has birds available for adoption too. Worth checking if you're in the downtown area.

This is one of those topics where I think there genuinely is no right answer. Both sides have valid points.

Absolutely love hearing success stories! This gives me so much hope for me and Basil. Thank you for sharing!

So what I ended up doing was stuffing paper towel rolls with treats for foraging. Within a few days there was a noticeable improvement. Definitely worth trying.

This is peak umbrella cockatoo behavior honestly. They wake up and choose chaos every single day and we love them for it.
