I need Help 4 Gray Cockatiels2007-11-24 17:22:25

I found a Gray Cockatiel And i reacued it from some birds Then i put it in a box when i was speeping my nephew put the box outside so the bird could get some air (stupid) and it flew away Then i caught it somehow what do i do to make it stop biting me?

Answers:

I used to breed cockatiels, grey, white, pied, pearl, cinnamon

You need to work with the bird, hold it a lot. I used to hold mine and let them bit me all they wanted and in a few days they will stop and you can start training them. With handling you can open their wings and all and they will let you do it and never even bite you. But take your time, that is the best thing to do.

To check if it is a male the face will have a lot of yellow in it. The females have more grey. Also on all of the colors the femals have yellow spots on the underside of all the feathers on their wings.

Good luck

You have to continually work with it every day. If you don't continue to pick him up and handle him he will just get meaner.

give the cockatiel some time, he may just be bitting from being scared. Do work with him everyday tho and he should become use to you. Most cockatiels dont bite as long as they are around a human alot

First thing you need to do it try to find the owner of the bird. Someone's pet has probubly flown out the window and they are missing it.

This will take time.. months and if you dont have it find a home that someone will.
