New member — my canary is my world

Hi! I'm new here but definitely not new to birds. My Indian Ringneck Jade has been my companion for 10 years and I honestly can't imagine life without them. Just moved to High Park recently and looking to connect with other bird owners in the area. Happy to be here!

Welcome! I remember being a new bird owner and this kind of community helped SO much. Excited to have you!

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

So I had this exact problem about a year ago. Let me share what I learned. The key thing is using a shower perch so they can bathe with warm mist. A lot of people also recommend rotating toys weekly so they always have something "new". My avian vet in Barrie also suggested checking for hormonal season — spring is brutal which can sometimes be an underlying factor. Good luck — feel free to DM me if you have questions!

This happened to us last winter. I think the shorter days and dry heated air were the cause for my bird.
