Should i cover my cockatiels cage when hes going asleep

 

[Jonah]

Brandon, I would say yes...cover all but the front. Considering what you know about his being stressed right now, I think it is the best thing you can do to help him feel secure and settle down. Leave a dim light or nightlight on for him tonight too...

Suggest you get a reference on cockatiels to learn about their history and care needs. There are some good books out there. I cover my birds at night to keep the night chills out. Have you given this bird a name yet?

 

[TheBudgies]

Nope he hasnt got a name yet i wanna pick a name to match his personality so ill have to wait and see what hes like

 

[Jonah]

Keep him covered like that for a couple day's and just talk to him. When he get's comfy, you and he will become good friends in no time, but it has to be at his speed....

K i opened his cage door and he didnt come out at first so i used a small perch and he stepped up.this happened when i was bringing him to the vet now were home and hes sitting on the curtain cleaning himself and chirping hes fully flighted too should they be clipped or should i leave him

 

[eduardo]

What did the vet say about that popped eye blood vessel though? Is he able to see?

 

[TheBudgies]

Yes he can see perfectly she just said its fine hes very happy do you think he be able to eat african grey pellets

 

[eduardo]

You may want to crush those pellets though, they tend to be a bit too big and hard for smaller beaks. You can put them in a Ziploc bag and smash them to make crumbs smaller.
I would love to see some pictures of your African grey and your new cockatiel
