Hi!
i hv a 6 month old cockatoo, who had moved in with us just yesterday! Currently we’re trying to create a bond with him as he isn’t as trusting as when we had our 3 years old cockatoo(named Yuki) when he was 1.. we’ve been giving him his seeds that the pet store gave him and we’re also introducing biscuits/pellets and fruits! Shiro, our 6 month old cockatoo, hardly speaks (maybe because he’s still quite young), and gives very soft hisses, especially to our cat.. we noticed that he is uncomfortable around our cat, unlike Yuki (as Yuki “bullies” our cat >.<) so we’re trying our best to keep them separated while we try to earn his trust.
Shiro loves being pat but he doesnt wanna perch//follow any of us.. when we tried that, he would panic and climb up in the cage.. he doesnt scream, he doesnt bite, he mumbles a little and he is quite sleepy even during the day, which was everything i wasnt expecting from a cockatoo but every living being has different personalities The thing is, he did this thing where he hid his head under his wing.. and his wings were shivering too.. i figured maybe its because he’s anxious and stressed out due to the sudden change in the environment..? Any advice or suggestion as to the body language he’s been giving?
btw sorry title’s suppose to be cockatoo hiding head under spread wing
