So I've had my cockatiel for 2 months and 21 days, and so far, she/he is adjusting well! although she is still slightly afraid of my hand she will allow me to take her out of the cage to play outside of it, and she sometimes doesn't freak out when she's near hands ! what confuses me though, is how she can sometimes not be afraid of hands and be compliant and other times she/he will just run the other direction! It's strange because now she sits on my shoulder and is more used to me than when I got her so I don't know if she does or doesn't like hands...she/he is in her/his molting phase, so their tail feathers will grow back soon !)
Sincerely, a confused Bird lover
