I got a juvenile cockatiel about three weeks ago (currently about five months old). As she's gotten more comfortable here she's started chirping little tunes, mostly of a morning when she gets her breakfast. Now, the point of the matter is that my back went out a couple of days ago so I've been stuck in bed, and her chirps have gotten a lot more frequent and at times turn into screaming. (She lives in my bedroom because I had to move back in with my mum.)
I assume that parrots and cockatoos know when a member of their flock is unwell - is it possible she's getting stressed because I'm injured? This may seem like a silly question, but I'm pretty new to keeping a bird and I can't find anything about it online.
