Hello, friends! Everyone, meet Gimli, the rescued parrot turned best buddy! This first-time feathered friend has won hearts on r/parrots, where a caring community offered valuable tips for his happy, healthy life. His human says he is still a bit shy but he shows promise of trust with cuddles and nibbles on his human's hand. Redditors poured in to share their wisdom, suggesting the removal of nest-like huts, and replacing them with flat perches for better stability. Gimli's human, being a first-time parrot parent, was super appreciative of all the helpful tips.

When it came to Gimlii's diet, they recommend high-quality pellets, fresh veggies, and treats like dried peas and yogurt-covered mangoes.
