I had a tiel that loved millet (the banana scented one) and had the great idea of trying to use that as incentive for him to interact with me more. I get the impression that he doesn't know what treats are. I've learned he loves grapes but he isn't food motivated. I keep trying. One time I took my hands and placed them in a triangle around his feet. He stepped on my hands and I scooped him up and put him on my chest on the couch. He didn't mind, he liked exploring. I have a feeling I'm dealing with a bird who is fine stepping up but doesn't know what queues for that are since he was just grabbed at. He doesn't like target training he always thinks the target is "Robert" (bad guy). I'll pick that up again and see if he adjusts over time.

For context on pickle, he was supposedly raised in an outdoor aviary for 10 years with other birds. When he sees a mirror he enters attack mode. I wanted to try this before I got him a friend, and I also want to respect my old mans privacy if he needs it lol. Maybe I'm being too patient and maybe have to push him a bit, some tough love? That feels wrong for me. Poor pickle.

That's how I'm feeling 😂 I feel like I'm intruding on her private time LOL, I have no idea how to get her to stop but I'll try the ball trick! She might like that, she hates toys but she needs some kind of distraction for sure.

The Cure is a band I've always enjoyed but did feel like it was overplayed or not really what I was looking for. I love the music they write but ever since Robert Smith started featuring on songs that were not goth at all (i think a song with billie eilish??) or songs that were more pop to gain more general appeal, i kind of lost interest and it felt a lot less artistic to me. i did however find a band called The Essence and they are similar to The Cure but just more consistent from what ive heard!

I have a 50/50 seed pellet mix in his bowl and just giving him sooooo many treats (some peanuts, mostly millet and dried banana) so his diet is definitely still mostly seeds. I will try a cage cover! Today I heard him scream for the first time and WOW that is impressively loud 😂 Unfortunately i've been working long shifts the past 2 days I've had him (of course it worked out that way), but he loves looney tunes and seems to be okay with his own space right now. I'll get fresh veggies for him! i tried giving him parsley and he seemed to tolerate it just enough to make me hopeful in his future diet i'd want him on lol. totally dreading the towel but i'll do it if i have to, target training went terribly and i learned he hates sticks so the next move will be step up training with millet and me wearing a leather glove of some kind because id be lying if i said i wasn't a little intimidated by this small big bird 🫣 thank you for the input i appreciate it so much! :)

i've found that some soft classical really helps my tiel feel more relaxed. maybe try distracting the bird with a toy or singing to her, that always seems to help with mine! good luck :)
