Cockatiel attachment
I have a 8 month old female cockatiel that doesn’t let me do anything go anywhere without her screaming for me what can I do
Question:
Answer:
Hi,
This is pretty normal for a cockatiel this age. She wants to be with you, but needs to learn that she can’t always be with you. You should ignore her calling until she is quiet, and then go to her and give her attention for not screaming. If you go to her when she screams, she will never learn. I would recommend that you read our pages on training and behavior so you can understand how to work with her.
Thank you for asking Lafeber,
Brenda
