Lovebirds are NOTORIOUS for this. Honestly I'd lean into it — destruction IS the enrichment. Buy in bulk and accept it. Dollar store wooden items (unpainted) work well if you need volume.

I wrap nuts in newspaper pages for Mango. Also found that paper bags from the grocery store are amazing — stuff them with shredded paper and pellets and let them tear into it.

Mango (my sun conure) has been a bit fluffed up since this morning. He's eating his pellets and had some carrot but seems quieter than usual. Temperature in the apartment is normal, around 21°C. He had a vet check 2 months ago and was healthy. Is this normal or do I need to rush to the vet?

I have a sun conure (Mango) and my neighbour is considering getting a green cheek. She asked me how loud green cheeks are compared to suns. I told her green cheeks are much quieter but wanted to get community input. What's your experience?
