Interesting! I am glad that I noticed this early, so I can put more food in his bowl to make sure his food bowl always has food.I've had conjures and kakariki do this. This must be the first time I recall hearing of this behavior in a Tiel.
Aww, so cute!My cockatiel likes to transport his foods from the food bowl to a perch, then he eats his foods.
I wonder what's going on in his mind.
Meanwhile, I was like you're wasting the foods by dropping them on the way!!
Both of my tiels have done this. I have a toy next to Bella's food dish and she lays her food onto the top of this toy and eats it. I call it putting it on a plate. Buddy, my first tiel also used to do this.My cockatiel likes to transport his foods from the food bowl to a perch, then he eats his foods.

I saw him tried to put his foods on another perch before. It was too round, so the foods fell off. He must be glad that he found the right place. HAHAHABoth of my tiels have done this.
