Hello Sir, first of all, I would like to say thank you for replying to my message, I really appreciate it. Let's see, First of all, my cockatiel is not weaned. Damn it but in our country breeders dont wean their birds unless they are in the mood. They only breed and make them healthy but they let the parents take care of the young. That's okay though.



Ok so lets talk about my tiel, first of all, I just brought him to our house 3 days ago, but he does eat rarely, something like 1 minute-eating. is this normal for adjusting birds? Secondly, I cant teach him the step UP command because he is really scared, he does run and fly around the cage before I even put my finger. He also does go to the corner of the cage and spend time biting the cage bars doing something, I think he's thinking of a way to escape. Another case is, at 8-11pm my african lovebirds were already sleeping, I dont know but my cockatiel is still awake looking like he's waiting for something. Anything I could do about this ? Next thing, Im always preparing a veggie salad for my african lovebirds, this include carrots, squash and dark leafy greens. I mix them with cerelac, it's baby food for humans which Ive known was good for african lovebirds, my question is can you use that for cockatiels? Also when is the best time to tame my bird, to be exact I just bought him on March 12, That's why I really need tips before I go on doing anything, Thanks again for replying to my message, hope you could teach me more. If you allow me to give you updates about my bird I would gladly appreciate it. Thanks and God bless.



-Khurt.
