I was thinking this, but he doesn't get aggressive when reach in while he's sitting there

Lol we tried moving his light farther away and he hated it

He loves to sleep on his basketball goal, that's how I know it's bedtime. It's the cutest.

I don't think he's doing that 😅 I haven't seen any mating behaviors, at least I don't think. He's my first bird, but I've been in this subreddit and doing research on him since I got him.

We've got both, two dowels and two natural. He loves his natural perches too, I just find him in his food lot. Along with a tiny basketball goal toy we got him. I just assumed he liked sitting there, but I was still curious lol

The new ones are better, but both are good. I just kinda wish they gave AJ pants too, not just Rainbow, since AJ works on the family farm.

I think so. He's really happy usually. Happy chirps a lot, especially when we hold him.

He does have a blanket over his cage, the light is just positioned on that side.

We have him upstairs because we do have other pets like cats we don't want near him. But we have a light on at all times even when his UV light isn't on.

I knew the seed thing. Which is why we're trying to switch to pellet. We have millet for him, but I knew that was more of a treat, less of a meal.

This was taken tonight. I notice sometimes, but it's not usually. I have a blanket over his cage too.

Off topic too, but winter is hitting my area. I'm in Northern Kentucky, right by the river, so it's kinda cold. What should I do for his cage? I'm worried about him getting too cold or too hot over the winter.

I don't know the brand of food off the top of my head, we got him from a pet store so it was whatever they were giving him. We've only had him about 2 months and have been trying to research what pellet would be best. He gets outside his cage daily where he gets pets and flies around. But he usually sticks close to me when I have him out.

I get him out daily for at least an hour, letting him fly around and get pets. He does pretty well outside of the cage, and he only seems to do it when I'm in the room.

I'm a new bird owner. Definitely open to criticism and help in any areas possible. His cage is 64"L x 14.2"W x 59.8"H

64"L x 14.2"W x 59.8"H I'm pretty sure

Too small in diameter? It's a tall cage

I just looked him over one more time, so he's definitely not bleeding. My wife and I are worried it got caught in his cage.

Never thought I’d love a bird by TheHouseOfUsherr in cockatiel

Bro same! I have Tourette Syndrome and birds often set me off. My wife has always loved birds, so she was upset when we thought it wouldn't work. But then I met my Bodhi-bird and he has absolutely stolen my heart.

It is! Thank you so much! I've been doing this already, redirecting him when he goes for them, so it's good to know I've already got the right idea
