Hi I'm new!

[Lydikiti]

Hi my name is Lydia, I am a first time bird owner to two male cockatiels named Click and Qwerty. I have wanted a bird for a really long time and I'm excited I finally have some! Because I have only had them three days now they are very skiddish and one of them (click) is aggressive and will bite me
He isn't food driven either any tips to get him to not attack me? Sorry if this is off topic lol

Hello and welcome! Cockatiels can be skittish at first, but will quickly warm up to you!

Welcome to the forum. Congratulations on your new freinds.
Read this for safety. Plus zinc is toxic to birds, and is found as a coating on many metals. Zinc can cause immediate heavy metal poisoning, or can build up over time in your birds body before becoming life threatening.

Get separate cages.

Could be next to impossible for them to bond to you if they have each other.

And how do you know they’re both male?

Welcome Lydia, Click, and Qwerty! Clever idea naming for keyboard letters!

They are still new, will be analyzing their environment and habits for several weeks. Might find this thread helpful with developing a bond and earning trust: http://www.parrotforums.com/general-parrot-information/49144-tips-bonding-building-trust.html

I adopted them from someone who has had them for ages (he has had Click since first grade) and tbh from all the research I have done Qwerty looks like a girl but he is still a baby.
