Hello, Welcome to the Avenue,

You separated the chick from their parents? Are they fully weaned? 8weeks is quite young for a cockatiel to be fully weaned.

Keep in mind, some birds don´t like to be pet, it´s a personal thing, some like it, others don´t.

He's fully weaned and I'm not sure if it's his preference or he's just scared of my hand .but what i think is he's scared of my hand beacause all other cockatiel are really scared of me as i haven't train them even to step up .I handled him from the time he was a baby but i don't get why is he still scared or he gets because of other cockatiel
What should i do.?
