I got my cockatiel about a year ago from a neglectful situation. The first few weeks she was shaking constantly and I thought it was just because she was new and not used to human interaction, but she's still shaking even almost a year later. She doesn't have any other symptoms of sickness which is why I brushed it off until now but lately, she's also been sneezing and scratching her nose too so now I'm getting a little worried. Does anyone else's cockatiel do this?

Don't worry! If you see your cockatiel shaking, it could be a number of things, but it is usually just normal bird behavior. A shaking cockatiel is usually a sign of it being excited, trying to relax, or it being too cold. Check for symptoms and signs of illness or stress, too, before you get too worried.
Sneezing is normal for Cockatiels once in a while. My Cockatiels used to do this, but later I realized that, they used to do this because they were new to me and needed some time to adjust to my home and weather outside. If this continues for 2-3 days take her to the vet. Keep me updated👍

Ok, I got her while I still lived out of state and just recently brought her to California so maybe she is still stressed because of that. I also am looking for an avian vet at the moment to get her checked out. Thanks for the advice!
