ChrissyCat, I really don't mean to offend you, but Petland is not the greatest of places to buy a pet. My biggest issue with them is that they sell puppies and kittens along with a multitude of small animals. Next time, consider buying a handfed cockatiel from a breeder? I don't mean to scare you, either. But unless your cockatiel was handfed, I'd get him checked by an avian vet ASAP. Parent raised birds usually do not "hop on". Anyhow, Good luck!
Thankyou for warning me! I know Petland isn't the greatest. I looked for breeders in my area and there aren't any. I even tried calling the breeder where my parents got their old cockatiel 20 years ago, but she stopped breeding. He was hand fed. My mom knows the assistant manager and she is a very nice lady who has birds of her own. The bird is healthy as far as I can tell, his eyes, nose, and dropping area are clean. He is active and likes to cuddle. The store just got him Thursday so I'm hoping two trips in just a few days won't stress him out too much.
