Hi everyone! I recently adopted a rescue lineolated parakeet from a shelter near Newmarket. Their name is Maple (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?

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

Do you have other pets in the home? My eclectus started acting differently when we got a cat.
