Rescued a budgie — need all the advice I can get!

Hi everyone! I recently adopted a rescue Senegal parrot from a shelter near Newmarket. Their name is Oliver (the shelter named them but it stuck). They're a bit shy and don't trust easily — no idea what their previous situation was. I want to give them the absolute best life possible. Any tips for helping a rescue bird settle in and learn to trust again?

I've had birds for 15 years and I've seen this many times. In my experience it usually comes down to territorial behavior — especially common during breeding season.

I switched to TOP's pellets last year and haven't looked back. My budgie's feathers have never looked better.
