Hello! My name is Samantha and I adopted my first cockatiel yesterday(Eddie); I did a lot of research before adopting him and I want to give him the best life possible. He was very quiet yesterday evening and all last night. But, today he has been screaming non stop even when I'm in the same room as him. I'm not sure what to do because I don't want to reinforce bad behavior, but I also don't want him to be stressed out and start plucking his feathers. He was in a cage with a few other cockatiels when I adopted him so could he still could be scared that he's alone? I tried talking in a low voice and saying "shhh" but it hasn't helped.
He has eaten and explored his new cage but hasn't played with his toys, he's just hopping around his cage and rubbing his beak on the bars. I put some tv on thinking that might keep his attention too(also not helping).
Please help!!
