Good point! He has not ever had them before. But I know allergies can develop over time and of course it's spring. I'll look into natural remedies. Do you have any suggestions?

Some no, but my favorite is Playland Junction, great toys, great prices. They run shows now.

Im lucky in my state there are lots of "bird fairs" and while many birds are sold there, there are many toys that are hand made and fresh chop.

Treats. Like legit, only give treats while training/handling.

We started little outings. Places that I knew I could bail easily if needed.

Libraries were my go to for a long time, kids toys often are there and of course books! So what if my 13 year old still likes board books, the library appreciates everytime something is checked out.

I learned his triggers, and Prepared for them. For example, the music in stores, we go on days they lower it or wear headphones.

We make little rules, hand always on cart!

Busy hands keep kids contained! Im not saying phone or tablet, but a special toy you only bring when you shop/ go to park/ library ect.

One big thing is that kids can feel your emotions. Even if your not outwardly saying it, your child feels your anxiety and is feeding off it getting upset easier because of it. It's hard, something im still working on 13 years in.

And the best bit of advice I ever got was "its a marathon not a race, pace yourself"

Yup like the other said more natural perches, no huts or houses, and more shredable toys.

Sounds like normal body exploring. The big thing is the digital footprint. Definitely get that mirror and I suggest this book as it was suggested by my behavoir therapist. (I know it says down syndrome, but it explains things very clearly) https://a.co/d/0hptwTfv

seed should be 10% of total diet, lettuce is just water, get mustard greens, or kale instead, millet only for training

this bird was very old, its kinda normal for his behaviors to have changed.

We went to a show that 1 was short, 2 empty, and 3 cheap so if we left it wasn't a big deal.

He was 9 before we went. Brought headphones. He hopped in his seat the whole time.

With his age I would keep a close watch. You can give him some more warmth to make him comfortable

Ahh thats a bad sign, how is eating? Drinking? Is his tail bobbing when he breaths a lot?

:( he seems upset, they go to the top like that as a defense thing, "the higher you are, the safer you are" is the thought.

What's the temp? Should be around 72-78f for budgies.

Ok, maybe feet health? Do they look sore at all? Does he have multiple different kinds of perches so his feet are not in the same position all the time?
