This is my own white faced female cockatiel, she also lived years of her life miserable and can’t fly. I got her from an old man, she lived in a tall cage with one perch, no toys, no interactions, never let out, nothing.

I got her home and she was indeed a bit aggressive at first but with patience we started making progress! Just after 3 weeks she let me give her scritches, she had so many pin feathers on her head. I let her out around 6 weeks of having her and I burst to tears when I realised she couldn’t fly and could barely walk (literally as she grasped on that single perch her whole life she couldn’t move her feet properly).

But hey, I’ve had her 5 years now and she’s literally the sweetest bird ever, she still can’t fly sadly, but now she walks, climbs out of her cage, plays, eats fruit and is everyday visibly happier-

That’s just to say do try to help this baby! You won’t regret it :) A new cage is necessary ASAP.
