Hi all,
I'm a first time cockatiel owner. Prior to buying Dino from our local produce store a week ago I spent 2 weeks researching as much as I could so that both my son and his new friend could have an easy transition.
Dino spent his first night in the travel cage we brought him home in, the next morning I took him to the vet to get his wings clipped, I took him out of the Cage when we got home and he has had free range of our home since. After talking to him and whistling to him while going about our daily routine for 4 days he began to eat from my sons hand and climbed on his arm to eat. A day later I had to take him to the vet as he had cotton wrapped around his claw, when we got home he came out of the travel cage and flew into the garage and has been there for 3 days. My son and I have tried everything to get him to come out but no luck. He will only eat and drink from the bowl when we hold it up to where he is sitting. He hasn't been vocal with us at all since being in the garage and hisses at us when we try to coax him to come down.
im unsure of his age, maybe 4-6 months old.
any advice would be hugely appreciated.
