Every morning at exactly 7 AM, my caique starts their morning concert. No snooze button. No volume control. Just pure unfiltered bird joy at an unreasonable hour. My neighbours in Parkdale probably hate me. What time does your feathered alarm go off?

Which avian vet do you go to? I'm looking for a good one near Bloor West Village.

Bird Sitting Toronto has a great blog with articles on this topic actually. Worth checking out!

Anyone near Mississauga should check out the bird section at Amazon Canada β€” surprisingly good for the area.

So what I ended up doing was using a shower perch so they can bathe with warm mist. Within a few days there was a noticeable improvement. Definitely worth trying.

100% this. Wish I'd known this when I first got my bird.

There's a great little shop in the Danforth that specializes in parrot supplies. Way better selection than the big chains.

Revisiting this thread because I have more info now. After talking to my vet, they confirmed exactly what people here said. This community knows their stuff.

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