Upper Canada Animal Hospital on Yonge has been my go-to for 8 years. Very knowledgeable with large parrots. Dr. Smith there is excellent.

It sounds weird but yes, cooked egg is genuinely one of the best protein sources for parrots! Hard boiled, scrambled without butter or salt — totally fine and most birds love it.

Trying to transition my African Grey from seeds to pellets. I know Harrison's is the gold standard but it's expensive. What pellet brands do people in Toronto actually use and can find locally or order easily?

My African Grey Congo, Einstein, is 14 months old. He mimics sounds (microwave, my laugh) but hasn't said a clear word yet. Online says anywhere from 12–18 months is normal. When did your AG start talking? Getting a bit anxious!

Planning a 10-day trip and need someone to look after Einstein. I've used Bird Sitting Toronto before and had a great experience, but I want to make sure I give the sitter everything they need. What's a good care checklist to put together?
