My mil has lots and lots of cockatiels and the one she bonded with more is the one that she hand fed as a baby and took care of more than her others and he was in a cage alone..his name was Cheeka Cheeka and he actually could say that and would whistle at women too by the way..No kidding..that whistle ya know when ya see a good looking thing
well, I dont know much about him but he is adorable and she lets him out of his cage in the house..he is just so cute..he likes rings too, he will peck on mine like he wants the rock out of my wedding band..such a cutie! Have fun with your bird or birds!
