When I first got him he would bite HARD. I havnt messed with him a whole lot latley(was letting him settle in and then christmas and whatnot), But today I hot him out in a towel. He hissed and bit the towel as he always does. For awhile I just sat there and gently pet him. Rubbing his cheeks and whatnot and I think he realized he REALLY liked it
. I slowly took the towel off of him where he was just standing on it. Continued to pet him. He eventually jumped and tried to run away EXCEPT this time(instead of biting the crap out of me) he would let me scoop him up into my hands without 2 much of a fuss and let me pet him some more. Hes VERY iffy about stepping up onto fingers(kinda like he dosnt know how?) But eventually I got him up on my finger and he still let me pet him and he'd close his eyes and put his head down for more scratches . He really coming out to be a sweet boy! He just needs some pushing lol. Question....
When I do get him out his wind feathers always end up scruffed and fall out easier then it seemed to my last cockatiels? When I first got him, one of his blood feathers broke down at the root and I had to pluck it out with tweezers. It just seems his wing feathers are more delicate or something. Is that possible or am I just being paranoid? lol
