First-time bird owner in Bloor West Village — help!

Hi all! I just adopted a canary 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!

Welcome to the forum! Great to have another bird lover from the GTA. Your canary sounds adorable — what's their personality like?

This made my day honestly. canary owners are the best people. We're all just trying our best for our feathered kids.

My canary did this too! Turned out it was because of molting — they get uncomfortable and cranky. Once I addressed that, everything went back to normal.

Welcome to the club! My canary trained ME in the first week. They're way smarter than they let on.
