Trick training with millet, and offer lots of easy chewing toys in the cage. Vine rings and wicker baskets from the dollar store work well! Also, wrap up bits of millet and seeds in tissue paper, and hang them around the cage so your cockatiel can forage. www.foragingforparrots.com is a good site for ideas!

Pet him, give him scratches on the head, set up some games for him to play (eg. Make a lego maze for him to go in), feed him treats, teach him tricks (as GlassOnion said) etc. just do what he loves!

Yes, play gyms/pens are very good! My birds are rarely caged, and they have several stations around my place where they'll fly to and hang out.

Thanks for the answer I will get him one ASAP and it's funny that you mention you're birds flying I can imagine how cute they must be. My bird hates it when I leave the room, every time I leave he will chirp and fly to the door I do hope I can teach him to stay put. Anyways thank you soo much for the help say hello to you're feathered friends :)

Thanks :greycockatiel:
