Just got my cockatiel and he's very quiet

Postby Baptiste » Tue Aug 28, 2012 2:45 am

Hi everyone,
I just got my new cockatiel from a bird shop yesterday and he was very quiet all the time, this morning I said hello and gave him some bread between my fingers. All of sudden he starts to scream like 5 times with his head in the air and before that he didn't even chirp once. And he's always very fluffy, could it be sick or is he just tired and he needs to sleep?



*sorry for the wrong topic.

Welcome

Take him to the vet for his new bird check.

He will be stressed as it is all new to him, new people, new cage, new surroundings. He will settle down within the next week or two probably, although some birds take longer.

Thanks, I'll wait for a few days and if things don't get better I will take him to the vet. :greycockatiel:

He's not used to you yet. You put your finger in too soon.
