Hello, I come here for guidance and advice.
I am getting a cockatiel in less than two weeks.
Iāve done research everyday and have prepared everything from the cage to the food to bird-proofing my house.
I have just a few questions regarding the tiel I am buying, but first some information..
-He is a white face baby
-He is 7 weeks old and has taken his first flight
-He is on Zupreem fruit blend pellet diet
-He has been dna tested
-Hand fed and hand tame according to owner
The owner contacted me and said they had babies available.
My only concern is how to welcome him properly into my home. I have read on some sites to give him time and leave him alone in his cage and talk to him quietly, yet some others say that hand fed babies should be handled gently immediately.
How soon can I expect to handle a hand fed baby?
Is there any certain advice you would reccomend?
Any tips and tricks for tiels?
Thank you,
A confused soon-to-be bird mom.
