So I have had my cockatiel for about 8 months now so he’ll be about 10-12 months old I believe.
So far we have had no problems; he likes sitting on my hand and eating some Millet and loves when I scratch his head. He isn’t too affectionate but likes a bit of fuss.
He usually wakes me up in the morning with some singing which gets louder when I take his cover off and he can see the outside birds out the window!
However, the last two mornings, he’s not been singing at all. He’s been making a single quiet sound every minute or so and he has become mega aggressive. He doesn’t want my hand anywhere near the cage and wants to bite me. When I try to give him millet he lunged at me and he just stays in the corner of his cage when I take my hand out, going to a big preening toy and staying there. He hisses and bites when my hand is anywhere within his cage.
he is my first bird so i’m really worried, I don’t understand what’s wrong with him and i’m scared there’s a deeper problem so any help would be appreciated!
Thanks guys.
