Hi, so iv had my cockatiel since just before she was weaned and I had to spoon feed her, iv taught her to step up when she was little and we have a great bond but I never knew you were meant to teach her how to forage or show her how to use toys ect I just honestly thought she just wasnāt interested, I have started teaching her to forage for her enrichment part of her diet by putting some shredded paper over a bowl with her tropimix under the paper so she has to dig through it sheās got the hang of this now(only took her like a day and Iām pretty proud) but where do I go from there as I donāt want to make it too hard and she gets overwhelmed? Also iv been getting her used to new perches I got her and she seems to not like anything other than extremely sturdy perches and none that require balance ect is there a way for me to get her used to these perches and with like shreddable toys or toys she can chew she isnāt interested at all like she doesnāt know she can chew them(she chews everything but the stuff I buy for her to chew on) how do I show her itās a toy she can chew? Iām sorry if this is all over the place Iām not the best with writing.
