Hello Toronto bird people! Just moved here from Calgary about 6 weeks ago with my Green-Winged Macaw, Picasso. He's 7 years old and handles change better than I do, honestly.
Still figuring out the city β already found a great avian vet (thanks to recommendations in this forum, which I was lurking before joining). Picasso is settling in and has started yelling again which I'm told means he's comfortable.
If anyone has recs for bird-friendly spaces, good feed stores, or just wants to connect with another big parrot owner in the city, say hi!
Just moved to Toronto from Calgary with my green-winged macaw, Picasso. He's due for an annual checkup. Can anyone recommend a good avian vet in the city? Ideally somewhere in the east end or downtown.
For Picasso's sitters I do a full written care sheet: feeding schedule (what, how much, when), toys he likes, things that scare him, his personality quirks, vet info and emergency contacts. The more specific the better.
Green cheeks are the "quiet conure" option. My GCC makes noise but nothing like the sound clips I've heard of suns. Your neighbour would be fine in an apartment with a GCC, probably not with a sun conure.
