Hi everyone,
I bought my first tiel last week, and things have been going pretty well. He’s a male white-face, I’m not sure how old. He’s taken to my hand, and even likes kisses. He has a large cage and he comes out every day. Lately, though, the only thing he has been doing is searching my room for a stray seed. It’s constant, and he’ll let out this one-note screech over and over while he searches. This will go on for hours, sometimes with a short break in between where he just sits contentedly. But then it’s back to searching. I’m becoming increasingly frustrated, because I literally can’t get him to do anything else, and the single constant screech is starting to wear at my sanity. I’ve tried different toys, giving him attention, anything really. I would really appreciate any advice.
