My friend has a cockatiel named Frost that for the first 6 months of his life was never handled. He is not hand tame and my friend would like some pointers on how to help him. She has been working to make the hand a good thing by feeding him treats and such, but what are some more pointers you can give her?
Also, the place where she got her bird is offering baby cockatiels for free. My question is if you were to get a baby that was just weaned, would it be easy to hand tame? How old are they when they are weaned? How hard would it be to hand tame a baby this young? Also, if you got two babies from the same hatching and they were opposite sexes, would they mate? Can you get DNA testing done when they are this young?
Sorry for so many questions!
