Ya it is a mansion for a cockatiel. I've been doing the best that I can but he is a rescue bird and it has not been easy. For instance he is still very cage bound and territorial. If I reach in the cage he will freak and has even bitten to draw blood. However, once out of the cage, he is cool and will walk all over me. He will even climb inside of a shirt and sort of cuddle. I'm just having problems with the cage territorial thing. I keep working on it but I really don't know if I will ever get him to happily leave the cage.
I don't really know the kind of abuse he was subjected to but it took 2 months before he realized that a cuttle fish bone was something to nibble. Before I got him him he had a bonded mate that died. Just due to his not having a clue as to a cuttle fish bone I suspect that she died due to being egg bound due to a lack of calcium. Doing the best that I can with a very troubled bird.
