I have a 35 day old cockatiel that is starting to fly more and more but he seems to not have much control over it yet. He will fly in the wrong direction while looking at me so sometimes I need to go catch him on my arm. He frequently takes flight without thinking what he's going to land on. Or overshoots things and has had a few crashes that have caused a scrach on his cere. Do I just let him continue to do this, supervising him and making sure he doesn't have too bad a crash?
He's also started to escape from the brooder box when he wants to. When can he be placed in a cage? Does he still need the heat of the brooder to digest food at this age? My brooder is 24 degrees. My home temp is about 20.
