Things my caique has stolen this week — a list

Monday: my earring (while I was wearing it). Tuesday: a piece of pasta off my plate. Wednesday: my phone charger cable. Thursday: a $20 bill off the counter. Friday: my will to live. What has YOUR bird stolen recently? I need to know I'm not alone.

Have you noticed any other changes? When my Eclectus did this they were also grinding their beak more than usual.

I struggled with this too until I started switching from seed to Harrison's pellets gradually over 2 weeks. Now it's like a completely different bird.

Have you tried getting a kitchen scale and weighing them weekly to track health? That's what solved this issue for us. Game changer honestly.
