Hello I am Scarlett and I am new to the forums. I have two cockatiels and a GCC. One of my cockatiels named Smokey is a female and she has always acted very special. She loves me and she let's me give her scratches to her head. Even though we are this close, she is scared of everything. She has been like this since I got her as a baby from a reputable breeder that I got my other cockatiel from. Smokey is two years old. I try to feed her seeds as treats out of my hands but she just hisses and screeches at me. My other birds will take from my hand though. Also, she shakes her head a lot when I talk to her or when other people talk to her. She is still scared of my hands and stepping up for me. When I open the cage she will want to come out, but when I reach in she freaks out and tries to get away from me. She also just seems very immature to my other cockatiel who is only a year older than her. Smokey kind of gives off a baby vibe still.
Please help me figure out ways to help her be less afraid of things. Also, if anyone could tell me what's wrong with her hearing it would be great.
