So, I just got my cockatiel, and his wings came clipped from the breeder I got him from. My question was, will he be able to get around his cage? It has high perches, as well as lower ones, so I was wondering how he'd get up to the higher ones. This might seem obvious, but I really have no idea. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. ied:

Hello there and welcome to the forum!

Clipped wings shouldn't hinder your 'tiel from navigating his way around the cage. They are excellent climbers and jumpers and that is how they get around in their cage.

How old is he? If your new 'tiel is a young one he may be clumsy to start with but they get the hang of climbing pretty quickly. Just make sure the perches are arranged so he can easily get from one to the other.

Ok, that's good to know. He's young, only a few weeks old. I'll see if I need to change the perch arrangement, thanks so much!

How many weeks old is he? Have you decided on a name yet?
