Hi , im new to the bird keeping world, i am transitioning from fish keeping to birds. I had just bought a 3 month old cinnamon cockatiel which i believe is a female because of the barred tail and kind of faint red cheeks.
anyway She Is really timid and scared, she does not move from the branch . I originally had the food and water right next to the branch, at that time she would approach and eat , but never move from that branch. So i moved the food down lower Next to another branch to try to get her to explore and look for food. No luck she would not move.
I understand everything is brand new to her, i would like to know what Steps i should take to get her to trust me.
i have read in another forum someone else having that issue. And the others were telling him to cover the cage up because the darkness will help them feel safe.
I can have the all the doors open for her to freely walk out but still nothing.
