Hello! I am a minor at my high school, and during quarantine, online school has been more challenging than I have perceived. I have two cockatiels whom I bought recently, I used to have a cockatiel who was ten years old but who passed away also recently, around the time I got two new ones. Right now, one is three months and the other two months, with the two month old still being handfed in the day and night, as he is a late weaner. However, I'm at my wit's end- as much as I love them, they both scream as soon as they hear a shuffle of movement- and don't stop until they feel like it. They both fly around happily but they land on my face and scratch it, two of those times I've bled upon. The two month old has a constant screaming and sometimes I can't get to feeding him on time because of my extensive homework. They make a mess ( classic of cockatiels ) and under different circumstances, I would be perfectly okay with it however it has become way too stressful. I'm not sure what to do- whether I should surrender them to a family who can give them more time of the day ( I'm home all day, but my homework keeps me away and so does sports; I'm the only one who takes care of them ), and get a quieter bird like a dove, or if I should stick it out and wait for them to grow up a little more. Please help I love my babies so much but I'm starting to go insane...
