get your finger a little wet with water and seeds would stick to your finger ;) . honey can be used instead of glue incase you want to stick some millet to a stick or something ( kathleen's idea )

So can I use them to tame a cockatiel :)


first you need to remove the "watch=" in order for videos to work :D .
second yes you can use these videos to tame a cockatiel or tame any parrot .

but incase you are getting a cockatiel get a hand fed one so you can save yourself the taming trouble . my budgie was very hard to tame( he is still not tamed at all) . it took me about a month to get him to stand on my finger like that . so get one that is already tamed ;) also get a male cockatiel as he sings a lot more that a female and you can teach him to whistle songs and stuff like that.

you also said here that you are thinking about senegal , red bellied , meyers
