Welcome!! Looking forward to hearing more about your feathered friend. Don't be shy about asking questions!
Hmm, I'm on the fence about this one. Part of me agrees but then I think about my experience with Maple and it doesn't quite line up.
Absolutely love hearing success stories! This gives me so much hope for me and Basil. Thank you for sharing!

My vet in High Park suggested switching from seed to Harrison's pellets gradually over 2 weeks and I noticed a change within the first week. Highly recommend.
Welcome! I remember being a new bird owner and this kind of community helped SO much. Excited to have you!
What worked for me was target training first, then building up to step-up. Took about a week but my Hahn's macaw responded really well to it.
Update: took everyone's advice and things are improving. Ruby is slowly coming around. This forum is the best.
I've had birds for 15 years and I've seen this many times. In my experience it usually comes down to hormonal season — spring is brutal.
Oh man, this brings back memories. When we were dealing with this with Coco, 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 positive reinforcement with their favorite treat every time they do the right thing. Give it a try — can't hurt!
Hi all! I just adopted a African Grey and I'm already head over heels but also completely overwhelmed. So many questions: what pellets do you recommend? How do I know if they're sick? Is it normal for them to sneeze? How do I get them to trust me? I've been googling non-stop but real owner experiences are worth way more. Thanks in advance for any guidance!
After months of tweaking, I think I finally nailed the perfect cage setup for my canary. Multiple levels of natural wood perches at different heights, 3 foraging stations, a sleeping tent in the back corner, and a designated shredding zone. Captain actually seems content now. What does your ideal setup look like?
YES! This is exactly what I needed to read today. My cockatiel and I have been going through the same thing!
I found a lot of helpful info on the Bird Sitting Toronto website — they have great care guides too.

I showed this post to my bird and they looked at me with zero remorse. They know what they're doing.
I want to set up a proper play area outside the cage for my blue and gold macaw but I'm not sure what to get. Looking at play gyms and java trees. Anyone in Aurora know where to buy them? Pictures of your setup would be amazing!
Have you tried stuffing paper towel rolls with treats for foraging? That's what solved this issue for us. Game changer honestly.
