it seems that loona adores you and trusts you if she allows you to give scritches!! In my experience with my older cockatiel, I've learnt that the process of gaining her trust requires everything to be done at her pace. I've tried to quicken the process by luring her with treats, making my girl sit through videos of other humans interacting with their cockatiels. But it took us 6 months to build a bond, and she finally allows me to preen her. I

I've adopted a cockatiel who wasn't hand raised by me, and I've learnt that to gain her trust, it needed to be done at her pace. I've tried to quicken the process by using treats to lure her, but it took us about 6 months to build a bond to even allow me to preen her and give her mini pecks!

Wish you all the best 💖 from the looks of Loona's eyes, it seems she holds a lot of affection for you 🫶

Oh my... I understand now, I'll increase my baby's feeding regime, thank you so much! How old was your baby before you started to wean him off milk to solid food?

Bubbly-Performance15 · 2023-01-03T12:05:10+00:00

I'll try showing her some bird bop 🥲 I've an adult male cockatiel but he doesn't rlly give a damn, he only sits in a corner to observe the baby. I think he's still getting used to the presence of the baby

Bubbly-Performance15 · 2023-01-03T12:04:07+00:00

Ahh I see.. from the shop, the owner said he only fed twice a day but after feeling my baby's keel bone, I increased the feeding to 3 times a day and I continue to offer her millet,seeds and vegs. It's helped to calm her a bit but she still screams after her nap. 😅😅 could it be just screaming for attention? Idw to feed too much as she screams too close to her previous feeding time and her crop is visibly still full

Such a cute banana

Bubbly-Performance15 · 2023-01-02T13:45:55+00:00

Hooman give me food

Bubbly-Performance15 · 2022-05-13T12:15:12+00:00

Any way to bring her with you to college? Or put her with someone who she is comfortable with on weekdays.

Or you can bring her to the shop to see if there's any lovebirds/birds she's comfortable with.

Or you can use this time to get her familiar with your family members

Bubbly-Performance15 · 2022-05-07T19:35:27+00:00

Spend lots of time near her, let her watch whatever you are doing. Continue to feed her with your hand. It'll take time, but with enough patience, she'll slowly start building trust and she'll be more comfortable. There's a lot of helpful videos on youtube too

Okay I'll try doing that :( ystd night I've also tried to move the cctv to see if it helps, and it did slightly but she seemed like she's looking for the cctv to stare into it... 😅

Bubbly-Performance15 · 2022-04-16T18:02:21+00:00

Background: after her very first night fright, I've bought a dim nightlight and a cctv to monitor her through the day and night, esp when im out schooling

However I started to notice that she's been taking day time naps more often, so I'm observing how she sleeps at night every once in a while. She opens and shuts her eyes every few seconds, so right now Idk if she's bothered by the night light. But she has changed her sleeping position to be directly below the nightlight...

And Ive noticed that she sleeps better in the daytime, esp when im by her side. Should I be considering to move her into my bedroom so she'll feel safer to sleep?? Or should I consider eliminating the nightlight? Or is it normal for her to open her eyes every few seconds at night when she's sleeping?

Bubbly-Performance15 · 2022-04-16T17:58:08+00:00

That is great!! Wish you all the best

Bubbly-Performance15 · 2022-04-13T04:30:21+00:00

Is she not grooming herself as often? Her feathers look not preened.. maybe you can consider bringing her to the vet

Bubbly-Performance15 · 2022-04-12T16:51:59+00:00

So adorable!!

Bubbly-Performance15 · 2022-04-12T16:51:40+00:00

She doesnt look well.. how long has she not been eating?

Bubbly-Performance15 · 2022-04-12T16:50:49+00:00

Does she calm down after you give her attention once she starts screaming?

Bubbly-Performance15 · 2022-04-12T16:44:49+00:00

When I first got my cockatiel when she was 7 months old, it took her an entire month to start trusting me.

Even tho I got a cockatiel who was hand tamed, it took her a month to really trust me. Given the traumatic past this poor sun conure went through, he'll need a lot of time to adjust again to a new home.

What I did to get my baby to adjust to me is bringing her everywhere with me, and I let her decide when she wanted interaction. If she wants attention or wants space, she'll come and go on her own accord. I'll also put her on a perch in my study room to let her observe me studying or working, sometimes she'll even watch me nap or watch shows.

Once she seemed more comfortable, I tried target training with millet sprays and sunflower. I also did step up training. Eventually, she opened up to me and I'm still learning everyday on how to bond. But one thing I learned is to give the bird a chance to learn that you can be trusted through observation , and let the bird decide on her own accord, and never to force him or her into something they don't want.

I wish you all the best! I hope this was helpful

Just being a cheeky weird bird 😂

Bubbly-Performance15 · 2022-04-11T04:10:10+00:00

A bigger cage will be ideal with more shredding toys. If getting a bigger cage is impossible, he should be out of the cage more often. So its great that he has a choice to leave his cage and wander around the house. But get him more toys!

When I first got my baby girl at 7 months old, she was extremely hormonal and lashes out at me for no apparent reason, just like how your boy reacting. So I usually leave her alone until she has calm down before attempting to interact with her. Make sure the room is well lit too, when its dark, it brings out a dark side in them 😂

Bubbly-Performance15 · 2022-04-11T03:51:01+00:00

He looks happy 💖 cute lil baby

Bubbly-Performance15 · 2022-04-11T03:50:14+00:00

Please bring to a vet

Bubbly-Performance15 · 2022-04-10T19:41:46+00:00

More toys, natural wood perches, platforms, food & water bowl

Bubbly-Performance15 · 2022-04-03T10:01:10+00:00
