As the title says, I'm going to get a cockatiel (probably in Jan) and I'm doing some planning for cage set up. I have some doubts w.r.t that
1. I can't find calcium sticks anywhere near me. I can only get mineral/calcium blocks. I read that calcium sticks file the bird's claws when they perch on the sticks. Is it necessary and is there any alternative to calcium sticks?
2. I am planning to have some branches/sticks from trees near my house inside the cage. Are there any trees I shouldn't use? (There are a lot of neem trees in my area)
Questions about food:
1. If I were to create a seed mix at home, what seeds should I include and not include?
2. How do I make sure the food is clean?
