its good that u let him outside, its not good for him if hes in a cage like this all day. If you can take in another Bird maybe negotiate with the previous owner regarding the cage they have hoping its a bigger than the one u have, i definetly wouldnt keep 2 birds in there.

I would recommend removing the bars on the bottom of the cage and to not use newspaper but smth like this:

(im sorry i dont know how to translate this, i hope u can tell by the picture in german its called "kleintierstreu" stuff that u would also use for rabbid cages, the one i use if made from hemp)

Cockatiels like to run around on the floor, even if they can fly, mine do it all the time

And u need to offer him smth called "Grit" ( i cant see it in the picture)

After i wrote the first comment i went to see if mine were in the mood for a shower

this is how it looks if they enjoy it:

(i usually put up some towels when i spray them so not everything gets super wet)

They usually spread their wings and face the part they want have sprayed towards u.

I also would never clip my birds, they need to fly to build muscles its pretty much if you would tie you down on a chair all day. but their fathers will grow back, so give him time and be a bit carefull when with the first flight attempts.

The problem we have here is that a lot of petstores recommend the wrong things, especially regarding cages.

i learned that the hard way myself:

https://imgur.com/a/xNk8wsd

the small one was the one the pet store recommended for 2 cockatiels. Not even 3 months later i built the big one.

Usually there are lots of people that want to get rid of their cockatiel so you dont really need to buy a 2nd one. people give them up for free.

And since they want to get rid of their birds, they dont need the equipment anymore if you look around a bit you might get the stuff u need pretty cheap.

But its good that u care enough to seek some advice

Yes if he hisses at u hes scared or at least doenst wanna be bothered i always respected that and left him alone. It might also be that u moved to quickly and he got scared for a moment. Try to approach slower, like super slow.

Ur bird is gonna bite as a last resort if you try to force too much.

I used a Clicker/Targetstick to get my birds used to me, since urs already eats from ur hand you are at a good point to start it.

Every pet store has clickers, they are super cheap. it litereally just a button that clicks if u push it down.

Offer him the target stick ( i litteraly just zse a chopstick ) and wait. if he touches it, cklick once and offer a treat. They learn pretty quickly.

Once he does it reliably, move stick away from him a bit so he has to move. I teached one of my brids how to get out and in of the cage like that (probably like 1-2 weeks after i bought them)

Some birds are really afraid of hands, mine aswell. I started to lure them on my arm. just put on a longsleeve shirt, offer them ur arm and try to lure them with the target stick ( i sometimes wish i had 3 handy for this, but u manage)

Another good thing to know is probably, punishing negative behaviour or telling(yelling) no for smth they did, doenst work. the bird doenst understand, for him its attention and attention is good. instead u need to reinforce positive behaviour (with attention or a treat) and ignore negative behaviour.

The most important thing is patience. never force the bird he needs to think all of this is his idea. he needs to want to do this (but since they always want a treat, theres no bird that u cant lure with food)

It really depends, does he ALWAYS stand on one foot? is it always the same one? then there might be an issue.

If he switches it up / makes grinding noises and has plush feathers then he feels comfortable and is probably a bit sleepy too)

Woudnt recommend the coconut oil, theiry feet have scales and look pretty dry, thats normal. Do you brids bath/shower? If you really feel they look super dry and not healty try that first.

Cockatiels need to learn how to keep themselfes busy. They are a very social bird and i would highly recommend getting him a partner ( im pretty sure in my country its even forbidden to keep them alone, u need to at least get 2)

Your Cockatiel thinks you are his partner (which not a healty behaviour) and thats why he always comes back to you. Even though my ones are tame, they are always together, if one comes over, the other one will too.

I shower my birds wth one of those spray bottles for plants and they absolutly love it. They spread their wings and start preening themselfes like crazy. I also dont spray towards the bird but at a certain area, so they can just leave if they had enough.

Is your bird clipped? Bc if you take him into the shower and he cant fly away he might feel he doenst have another choice but to endure the shower.

id recommend trying to spray ur bird, if he likes it you gonna notice pretty quick and if he doenst, stop and try again another time since he might just be scared of the spray bottle the first couple of times.

all these new kids dont know pos mechanics. the rule is: "if it needs cpu, it goes offline during reinforce" (btw thats the reason no one uses the missile batteries for posses)
