My lineolated parakeet did this too! Turned out it was because of insufficient UV light exposure, especially in Canadian winters. Once I addressed that, everything went back to normal.

Welcome!! Looking forward to hearing more about your feathered friend. Don't be shy about asking questions!
Posted a few weeks ago about Snowball needing surgery. Just wanted to update everyone — the surgery went well and Sky is recovering at home! The vet in Etobicoke was incredible. Thank you all for the support and good vibes. This community is the best.
The Toronto Humane Society sometimes has birds available for adoption too. Worth checking if you're in the downtown area.

My zebra finch goes CRAZY (good crazy) when I play reggae music. Full-on dancing and singing along. But puts on classical and they fall asleep instantly. What music do your birds enjoy? I want to make Raja a playlist!

Birds are basically tiny dinosaurs with attitude. My Fig has me completely trained at this point.
Same here! Glad it's not just me lol.
What kind of cage setup do you have? Sometimes the environment is a factor.
