Need help taming my cockatiels?

Question

i just got them from a breeder and they tend to bite a lot, they are scared right now because i got them few hours ago. they are a pair of breeding cockatiels and 2 years old (both). how do i train the bird not to bite?

Answer 1

First off let them get used to there new home dont bother them for a couple of days, cockateils get stressed really easy.Get there wings clipped so they dont take off while you are training them. When they are settled in there new home, put on a pair of canvas gloves ( so they dont chomp you ) and try offering them some fruit or veggies, put your finger near there abdomen and say up keep doing this and eventually they will learn that you wont harm them, but dont let anyone scare them or you will have to start all over again. Once you get them on your finger you can try putting them on your shoulder! Good Luck!
