Ok, So Ive had my cockatiels :greycockatiel: for a year I belive, and Dimas :sun: ( my sun conure ) for about 7-8 months. Well Dimas seems to be VERY scared of household objects. Spoons, cups, soda pop cans etc. How can I teach him that he is safe and not going to be hurt? Ive seen many other owners post pictures of their birds biting spoons, and the other things and having a blast! Secondly my cockatiels, They are SO happy. Always singing and preening each other. So cute <3. Any new toys I might be able to make for the 3 destuctive little things? They work together and tear all toys up! Im thinking something cheep and easy to make. So they can destroy as much as they want. And how can i make a small area sbove their cage so they wont fly around my room and poop everywhere? Thanks in advance ~ Lemon

With Dimas, just play with the toys yourself (with your hands) and he should watch and copy, also you can get your cockatiels to play and he will watch them and want to join in. It may take a while, but its worth a try. For your cockatiels, you can just get a small box (i use a butter container, that I washed thoroughly) chuck some treats at the bottom, chuck some toy parts in, chuck some shredded paper in and mix it all up. Your cockatiels will love it.
