How to train a Cockatiel
Hi,
If the bird was not handfed, you will have to be patient and understand that it can take months or longer to train a wild cockatiel. He has to learn to trust you first. Never reach or grab for him. Cockatiels are prey birds so they think a predator is trying to catch them. I’ll give you the links to our behavior and training pages and they will help you work with your bird.
Thank you for asking Lafeber,
Brenda
