Hi! Okay... i need lots of help from some people please! =]]
Okay, im 15 years old and ive had a parakeet for like 6 years now and i treat him very good... but hes not very friendly so i dont play with him a lot...
Anyways, im getting a male cockatiel this month and i was wondering a few things for those of you who have time to answer these many questions i have =]...
1. would Mac be a good name? would he be able to say that name?
2. what is a good, healthy diet for a cockatiel?
3. when i get him home, on the first day... how many days should i not take him out for? he is going to be hand-tame, and young... should i leave him in there for like 2-3 days, while sitting by the cage and talking to him or reading a book aloud to him?
4. i am planning on clicker training him... what is the first thing i should teach him with the clicker?
5. what are some tricks i could teach him other than - flap, wave, rollover, and spreading his wings?
6. how many times a day should i take him out of his cage?
7. i am getting a ring toss thing for cockatiels... and im going to train him to put the rings on the pole thing... should i click and give him a treat for every ring? or after he finishes putting all of the rings on?
8. what treat should i give him for learning treats?
Please, can someone answer these questions for me? and if you have any additional information I should know, please go ahead and add it. Thank you SOOO much!! This would be sooooo helpful to me and Mac!! ^.^ Thank You!! =DD
