Hi everone,
I bought a second cockatiel a couple of weeks ago, and at 6 weeks, she is still in the store being handfed by the owner. I had fallen in love with him and felt it was the right time to give my three year old cockatiel, Joie, a new BFF...but I'll settle for them at least tolerating eachother! In light of this coronvirus threat, I wonder if I should bring him home earlier and feed him myself, rather than risk his health in a public place. I trust the store owner completely and she said it was up to me. She has closed the store to the public and is the only one who handles my bird, but I still have mixed feelings about what's in his best interest. I don't think he needs to be handfed much longer, and he will have close watch, as I work from home. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated! Jan
