The dramatic death scene my blue and gold macaw performs daily

Every evening, Snowball flips upside down in my hand, goes completely limp, and closes their eyes. The first time they did this I PANICKED and almost called the emergency vet. Turns out they just... like being held upside down? blue and gold macaw are so weird. Does your bird have a weird quirk?

So what I ended up doing was rearranging the cage every couple weeks to prevent boredom. Within a few days there was a noticeable improvement. Definitely worth trying.

Which avian vet do you go to? I'm looking for a good one near North York.

Don't worry, this is super common with blue and gold macaw. You're doing great!

One thing that really helped was keeping a super consistent daily routine — birds thrive on predictability. Give it a try — can't hurt!
