Hello! Hope you are having a wonderful day . I have a cockatiel that's around 6-7 months old, his name is Sunflower and he's a cutie. I have hime next to my school desk where he keeps me company. I like to play lofi or classical music (do cockatiels like music? I mainly play it for myself, so let me know.) while he chills. Right now he takes millet from my hand or pellets if he's hungry, but not much more. He doesn't have great associations with hands (past owner grabbed him) so I think it might be a little tough. Most articles or youtube videos say to push/touch your cockatiel's lower chest, but I don't think Sunny is ready for that yet. It just seems like the jump from "eating from hand" to "step up" is kind of big, so I need some support. Sidenote: sunny doesn't like to play with his toys, and he's usually only motivated by food.
Any help is greatly appreciated
