I’m thinking about adopting a cockatiel As of right now I’m taking care of a little sparrow unable to fly from a friend of mine It awakened some bird love inside of me, and I did find cockatiels really cute and easy to get
So any advice about them, on a daily basis, what should I know before hand, what not to do, what should I prepare for, etc Would be very appreciated, thanks!
Cockatiels like to zoom around flying so make sure all windows are covered in the beginning to make sure they don’t fly into them.
Birds can get seriously injured or even die flying into windows. Once they’re comfortable in that space start thinking about how to teach them about the glass windows and doors. We stick decals, stickers and tape over glass surfaces so the birds can clearly see there’s something in the way.
