- Goldie- hen Gold/Yellow cheek Cockatiel ( almost 20 yr old) and a newly weaned Lutino parakeet named Boo 2 GCC's Milo-Turquoise and Jada-Pineapple.
My friend gave me two GCC's and well they were hand fed but not handled much after. One is a year old and the other will be 1 in January.
My questions are....
1. Will they tame down?
2. If I do get them tamed down will they be still wanting to breed?
3. How can I encourage foot play?
4. How can I encourage them to expand their space and explore?
Now some background. The breeder kept them in breeder cages and well no toys. They were in a room with lots of other birds. So, they were left to snuggle and that was about all they did. I have lots of toys in the cage hanging and let them out daily. I have some foraging boxes I allow them to have while out of the cage. I have my cockatiel still but she is older and just like to hang out and sit and watch tv.
thanks in advance.
