PSA for anyone who doesn't know — nonstick pans can KILL birds. I found out the hard way when I accidentally overheated a pan and my green cheek conure got sick. Thankfully caught it in time. Please, if you have birds, switch to stainless steel or cast iron.

Check out Amazon Canada — they have exactly what you need and the prices are reasonable for the GTA.

How old is your bird? That might explain it — my green-cheek conure went through something similar around 3 years.

This is so true. Had the exact same experience with Ruby.
