You're clearly a caring bird owner β€” the fact you're asking for help shows that. Your bird is lucky to have you.

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

Where to buy bird food in the GTA?πŸ₯¦ Diet & Nutrition

I've done a ton of research on this because my Indian Ringneck had the same issue. Here's what I learned: the most common cause is a subtle environmental change you might not even notice. What worked for us was covering the cage partially at night for 12 hours of uninterrupted sleep. I also started adding more variety in perch textures and sizes and noticed improvement within a week. It's a process but it gets better.

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.

I went through this exact thing with my sun conure Peaches! It lasted about a few days and then resolved on its own. Hang in there.

Apr 26, 2026

YES! This is exactly what I needed to read today. My green cheek conure and I have been going through the same thing!

I have a similar story. My caique used to do the exact same thing. I remember being SO frustrated until one day it just clicked. Patience is truly the key with birds.

How long have you had them? Sometimes it takes a while for birds to settle into a new home.

Apr 24, 2026

Nice to meet you! Always great to connect with fellow bird owners. You're going to fit right in here!

Oh man, this brings back memories. When we were dealing with this with Echo, I thought we'd never get through it. Now it's just a funny memory. It gets better, I promise.

One thing that really helped was using a stainless steel cage with proper bar spacing for the species. Give it a try β€” can't hurt!

Been thinking about this thread all week. I've tried a few of the suggestions and covering the cage partially at night for 12 hours of uninterrupted sleep was the game changer for us.
