Hello,
I recently got male cockatiel.He is almost a month home and so far I bonded with him very well from the 3rd day. Until this moment he let me pet him,give him food in hand and so on. Unfortunately for the past week he is squaking really loud for like 3-4 hours in the morning and flying non stop while doing that.
There is no other behavior problem - I mean, he even come to me on it's own (landing on my shoulder and so on). Before he was flying around too ,but without those noisy sounds. Oh, and he is biting his cage while doing that.
Health seems good - skin on feet normal, he fluffs only when sleeping while grinding with beak,poop normal in color and consistency.Haven't noticed anything. When sleeping he usually shivers a bit, but as far as I know that for temperature regulation.
Maybe the problem is in me don't know.Usually for the past month I'm home most of the time and I spend a lot of time with him, but I don't see any problem with that.He eats mainly seeds (bought him pellets, but he doesn't want them), I give him apple and some vitamins for now, because it's too picky and I can't make him eat other things even boiled eggs or whatever.
At 3 o'clock pm he was usually going to his cage for some naps until 8 pm. at the moment he stays with me until that time just sitting on the bed or else.
I saw on the net that he may be hormonal, but the problem is that the bird have no interest in toys or other things ,not to mention that singing is not the best thing he can do
. I whistle to him and sometime he tries to whistle back, but with sounds that barely get close to a melody - sometimes just screams.
