Hi, seeking some advice - first tiel. We are 1 week in, she is so quiet. Doesn’t really have any excitement to her. She will come to hand and come out of her cage. Sometimes we get a contact call but otherwise we haven’t heard anything out of her.
When she came she was cradling her leg but with a flat perch she seems to be feeling more comfortable with it. I thought originally this may be why she was quiet and reserved but now we are a week in she still is.
I sit with her all day whilst I work talking to her… but nothing.
she will willingly come out of her cage, will land on my hand and wants to land on my head. She tends to just fly around then choose somewhere else in the end. She will eat millet from my hand, even my toddlers… but not a peep or any enthusiastic body language from her. Lots of toys, been offered a variety of food - seems happiest with seed but I am trying to add other for her health. She just seems a conundrum… like she is bonding with us but won’t make a noise or play. Please advise… should I be worried?
