Hi there,
Around Christmas time I will be adding a young male cockatiel to my home. I have quite a large cage for him, but I am only using the bottom portion for now as he will be young (a few months old), his wings will be clipped, and I want him to start out knowing that there is plenty to do on the bottom half of the cage. Eventually I will start adding perches and toys to the top half and let him enjoy the abundance of space.
My question to you all is, do you think this is a good idea and how does my current setup look?
I currently have a budgie but his cage is wider than it is tall and budgies are smaller than cockatiels, so I'm not quite sure how to go about setting up my first cockatiel cage. I have 3 more of the white food/water bowls and 2 single food (or water) bowls. I also have one more of the long wooden dowels. As for toys, I have many others set aside but only decided to put 3 in for his arrival so he isn't as stressed. The tiels bought from the breeder are almost always tame and sociable from the moment they arrive, but I still want to put as little stress on him as possible.
Any suggestions or advice is welcome.
Thank You!
