Hello everybody! I have a cockatiel named Sunflower. He's around 8 months old and a real cutie . He takes millet from my hand, and pellets if he's hungry, but he doesn't really trust me beyon that. He's still in the cage he came in, but it's a little small. I want to get him a new one but I'm not sure how to transfer him. He won't play with any toys. He likes to chew on his branch perch, but I'm not sure if that counts. My problem: he's terrified of hands. The pet store I got him from had a owner that didn't really care for his birds too well. He grabbed Sunflower out of the cage in the store to put him in the cage he's in now, and Sunflower was biting like crazy. I'm pretty sure he's tramatized at this point. Also: his nails are pretty long, but like I said, he doesnt' like handls, so we can't cut his nails. Thanks for any help!
