- I have 6 cockatiels,2 parakeets( budgies) ,4 rosy bourkes, and a hahns macaw
I adopted a male cockatiel when his owner passed. I was told he was about 5-6 yrs old. He is a very vocal bird, he says appox. 12 words and he signs like he is a rap singer, bobbing his head and moving side to side just singing as he goes.
I don't think he's ever been handled, but I was told he would fly around the room and then go back to his cage.
He is not tame, but is not aggressive.When you talk to him you can tell he wants attention.
My question is to try to calm him down and tame him should I clip his wings or since he's never been clipped will it bother him. I don't want to harm him in any way, but I'd like to tame him so he can be out of his cage and have interaction with the family.
