First-time bird owner in Markham — help!

Hi all! I just adopted a caique 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!

Absolutely love hearing success stories! This gives me so much hope for me and Rio. Thank you for sharing!

You're clearly a caring bird owner — the fact you're asking for help shows that. Your bird is lucky to have you.
