My cockatiel...........?

Question

ever since i have gotten my cockatiel which was 2 or 3 years ago. he never has let me hold him, when I clean his cage he hisses when i stick my hand in to give him fresh food and water. Hes really old like 12 or 13. the previous owners that had him did not have kids. I am 13 and I guess hes just not used to children. Is there any tips on how to change his behavior and make him more loving and trusting?

Answer 1

well since hes old he was really used to his other owners so he probally wont really like you until he gets used to you
