Heres a picture of Bailey sitting ontop of the nestbox

heres a few of them together

 

Awww they are gorgeous where did you get the double feeder from as i looked every where for one

 

Its actualy a salad bowl, as far as i know? ive just searched on the internet and ive found one the same as mine http://www.plentyforpets.com/product_detail.php?product=3030&category=0_184 On most indoor aviarys there is a thing that they actualy clip on, and to put new food ect in it spins round so u can then fill it up from the outside of the cage, there normaly on the side. but they can also be put onto the bars like i have on mine this is what they normaly go on http://www.plentyforpets.com/product_detail.php?product=11891&category=0_184

 

I thought the shops would of sell them but they dont im using a large dish, i have 3 of them and others too

 

type in "Ferplast Pet Products Trough Feeder" in google shopping theres plenty on there, a few off ebay if u use that? Best thing i put in the cage to be honest & your tiel is gorgeous

 

Yeh iv bought millions of stuff on ebay lol

She is my first cockatiel and i got her from the pet shop who wasnt tame at all when i got her

 

Type Ferplast Bird Feeder Double Trough in on ebay and they should pop up

& how old is she now & did it take u long to tame her? mine are still very untame still love them though

 

They said she was a boy and that she was 12 weeks old when i got her but i think she may be a bit older, she is 13-14 months old now, she was the easiest to tame which was a few weeks of getting her, she was not scared of my hands in the first week but still cautious though.

 

aww bless her mine are used to me putting my hand in the cage now as i do so daily to change food water ect. but they still wont let me touch them, bailey was on the side and i got a tiny little bit of a tickle on her chest before she flew off to the otherside so i think there getting used to me

 

I was ages when she let me give her scritches month or two something like that but she didnt mind stepping up on my hand though. she doesnt let me pet her now since she prefers cookie lol i ask for a kiss though and she gives me one same as cookie.
I got cookie from a breeder though and he was hand reared, little brat he is lol

 

aww only time will tell i guess, ive just seen them bird harness' they look so funny i thought it was bizzare for a rabbit to have one lol.

 

lol yeh i have one which i used a few time but i only can take them out at night as too many cats and people walking the dogs so i dont bother now, i wouldnt trust taking mine outside

 

i spose it could be handy for taming them inside tho?

 

Clipping the wings is great to tame them aswell, dont worry they grow back.
I have clipped all of mine and they can fly a bit but not fully, they rely on me to get them where they wanna be and when they are scared while outside of cage they fly at a top speed and fly into the window or walls and hurt themselfs. My kitchen and living room is joined which i had to place net there to stop them going in while cooker is on.
I didnt believe in wing clipping before but now i understand why

 

Ive heard of that option i know its safe and doesnt hurt the bird id just rather not have it done but thats just my opinion i think ill just do it the hard way lol, there not finger tame at the moment so i dont want to let them out just incase it stress's them out trying to get them back in later

 

Only hurt them if you clip to far, but i used a towel when i tamed my budgie when i was little, catch them in a towel and hold for 5 mins and let go

 

I would feel bad chasing after them tho, would feel like I'm being too rough

 

you might have to if they break a blood feather as it needs to be pulled out straight away or it gets infected or bleed to death. Flour will stop the bleeding if you cant find it

 

Its just different going from having a hand reared baby to untamed birds, you just want to let them out to fly and fuss them ect

 

hand reared cookie is the brat lol gets his own way and easy to teach him to step up lol
they all come out and fly about so there is really no difference at all

 

Just when there hand reared there used to humans and will come to u and go back In the cage easier. With untamed its just the thought of having to forcefully try get them back in

 

I have no trouble at all with mine getting back in the cage but i admit my other cages dumpling and big mac took ages to get in cage but since i have a parrot cage i have no problems. Big mac (2 years old) and dumpling (3 years old) spent their whole live in a aviary so i don't blame them not liking a smaller cage lol
I always say come on its bedtime before i put them away so they have learnt what bedtime is

 

So its fine to let them out even tho there not tame? Will it help them bond with me knowing I'm giving them free time to fly around?

 

yea i have mine out the next day getting them

 

We'll they have had a few days to get used to the new cage now. Should i let them out together? If its hard to get them back in catch them with a towel?
