Chocobo leveling?

I recently came back from a 2 year break and besides changing the color of the chocobo are there other leveling tips or upgrades am missing? I am at level 59 but my trusty old chocobo is like level 10.

Thanks

Level 10 is the max unless you feed them a Thavarian Onion (up to 20). Pretty much a long grind to level but there is a weekly log for killing 20 and 100 enemies around your level to boost exp. Otherwise stable and train it once an hour.

To have it go higher than level 10 you have to stable it at a stable of your FC or your own house and feed it a Thavnarian Onion. Once you do this it can level up to 11. When it reaches the max XP for 11 you will have to feed it another Thavnarian Onion to get it to 12. You will need to repeat this process for every level above 10.

There's some info here.

Onions don't require a stable, just summon your chocobo and use one.
