SKIP TO QUESTIONS IF THATS WHAT YOUR HERE FOR!!!
hey guys i recently got a cockatiel, i got told it was a female. she is a lutino coated cockatiel. at the moment she is in a fairly small cage but don't worry i ordered a huge cage from amazon plus Shes almost never in her cage. Her name is Pixie, and she is a little brat (just kidding) she really LOVES jewellery and enjoys chewing on it, but i have stopped wearing jewellery around her because i read somewhere that she can get intoxicated and possibly pass away. She has met a lot of people for example my friends and family. When i go to take her out of the cage she nips my fingers and screams, i have started to let her come out on her own and she has stopped nipping. She also isn't loud; she does a few chirps but other than that she doesn't really do a lot.
CAN YOU PLEASE TELL ME ABOUTT UR COCKATIEL!! i want to see and hear about everyone experience as I'm enjoying mine very much.
my friend is getting a bird in about 2-3 week, her options are a cockatiel or ring neck. If you have any advice Youd like me to share with her, please let me know. i also wanted to know if it's good or bad to bring her around another bird at least once every 1-2 months. in the future I'll probably get a male cockatiel just to understand the different personalities and experience a male. I may also breed in the future once I'm not so new to the bird things.
WING CLIPPING.
when i got Pixie, the person clipped one of her wings, so she didn't fly away on our first day, which i hate to say but I'm glad they did because she used to try and fly away all the time. when she is able to fly again i have a harness ready so she can experience the outside world for herself, as she already does now
QUESTION:
1. how do i tell if my bird is bonded to me?
2. what advice do you have for people new to owning a bird?
3. How big should a cockatiel cage be?
4. how do i tell the difference between male and female cockatiels? (p.s my bird has very noticeable barring under her tail, and she has a wide area below, not sure of what its called but the person i got her from said that.)
5. why won't my cockatiel bathe and is it okay to spray water on them instead? (She has a bird bath connected to her cage but doesn't go in it)
6. How do i start to train my bird?
7. what tricks should i train her?
Thank you very much for ready all of that (if you did!)
