Hi I'm Ashley and am very new to owning birds. I got a budgie bird Luca last Tuesday and a 2 year old cockatiel Reggie last Wednesday. I put them in the same cage and they seem fine together, but I want to make sure this is ok? Luca the budgie has already perched on my finger and ate some pellets from my hand but he is still nervous of me. Reggie the cockatiel and I had a little tramatic event happen this morning. I adopted Reggie from a rescue and the lady told me he says words which Ive yet to hear, she also told me he was hand tamed which I found out this morning he does not like my hands. He will eat millet from my hands but if I go to pet him or put my finger near him to step up he moves away. This morning I thought maybe he's used to being out of his cage and this is what he needed to get use to my hands? No . He was out of his cage and he freaked out, flew around and flew into the wall, and then when I had to get him I tried with a long perched to see if he would step up on that to bring him back to his cage and he just flew away from the perch and banged into some more walls. So i had to get him with my hands and he was biting my hands until I got him back into his cage. And some of his tail feathers came out. He is fine, no bleeding and he is eating and acting normal but I don't know what to do now to get him used to me and are his feathers going to grow back???
