Snowball, Peter and Greenleaf have come a surprising
distance from their first few days at the shelter. They were
frightened
of the unknown and unwilling to let their guards down. We have
had slow success with them and believe that with someone who is
truly willing to work with these birds daily, they will become
a loving, mosaic, little Cockatiel family for you. They are in
the beginning steps of learning “step-up” and, though
they still have a long way to go, they are very trainable. We have
not been bitten, but they like to pretend they will; hard on the
outside, mush on the inside! They do enjoy chirping so be prepared
for a house full of chatter! We feed all our birds Harrisons Pellets
with a mixture of Sunshine factor which satisfies all their nutritional
needs and this will need to be continued in their new home. Every
bird needs multiple widths of dowels/perches so their feet don’t
conform to a one size grip. Teflon, aerosol sprays, bleach and
candles, among other things are toxic to birds. The average life
span of a cockatiel is 15 years so know that you'll be taking on
a long-term commitment with these three. Are you willing to be
their adoring teacher?
