So I recently bought a cockatiel as I had finally saved enough to buy everything it needed. Today after coming home from shopping and buying it a few new toys to swap out every week or so, my mum decided to storm into my room, open the cage door and say "It's not drinking, here." She then tried to forcefully grab my bird and put it next to the water. I begged her to stop as Totoro (that's his name) won't even let me touch him yet as we haven't properly bonded. She did it anyway. So Totoro ended up flying out of the cage and slamming into a window, my Mum then tried to grab him again but I begged her to just let me catch him because if you just grab him out of the air you could hurt him. At this point, I started crying. I've told her time and time again she can't just forcefully grab him as he isn't like a cat or dog, birds need to trust you, but she just won't listen to me. Does anyone have any advice?? I'm desperate.
