My cockatil looks JUST like that! Like no joke! Lol but yors seems to liek scritches lol! But the dandruff is totally normal. Cockatiel are Naturally dusty birds because they use what's called a "dust" to make there feathers feal silky and "clean" I mist my tiel morning. Do that for a weak so it'll ge used to it then gradually do it 3-4 tjmes a week most. they will also preen (clean) themselss ALOT. everytime I hold mine s/he preens herself for like 20 mknutes before s/he will let me play with her lol! Also does anyone know when my baby Tiel will molt? S/he's 10-11weeks old (3-4 months old/ born in may).... I read that they don't get there first molt until 6 or so months old.
