Cockatiel
Hi! Iā€™m new here! I have a 4 month old cockatiel. He has been shaking around his wings area. I have no idea why he is doing this, so I have little to no information about this. It been going on for a couple days now. Does anyone have a idea what is going on?

First, welcome to the forum!
I'm not really sure what you mean by shaking around his wings area, could you be a little more specific about the shaking?
Is it his wings?
Under his wings?
Both of the above?

Is there any way you could upload a video? I think that would be a big help.
Here are the instructions for that:

I'm happy you joined us, and hopefully someone more familiar with young cockatiels than I am will have some advice:)

Congratulations on your new one! Welcome to the forum.

It sounds like it could be a baby bird thing. They do this when asking for food or attention. But I can't be sure.

Is he eating well. Sometimes babies revert ( go from weaned to back to need a few hand feeding of formula) when they go to a new home.

Look forward to Pictures
