confused about cockatiel feeding?
i read some where that u should feed them 2 times a day for 20 minutes heres article i read.
this is it ------------> Train Daily. Cockatiels tire out after five or ten minutes. Let yours take a rest – especially when you first get him. Start by training him to climb from finger to finger. Birds always climb UP -- except when sliding down their cage bars to grab a treat from you. Their tail prevents them from climbing down without falling on their beaks. They also rarely walk backwards, Say "UP" when you want him to climb UP to your other finger. He’ll soon sit on your shoulder. He’ll decorate it, if you leave him there too long. Want him to eat out of your hand? Don’t leave the food in his cage 24 hours per day. Feed him for 20 minutes in the morning and 20 minutes in the evening. He’ll be much more cooperative once he knows who the food comes from. <--------------
**but i rather give them 3 teaspoons of cockatiel pellets. or 2 teaspoons of pellet and 1 of seed. which would you rather your birds have. this way he has food all day and dosent over eat. the way the article said the cockatiel would eat all he could those 20 minutes and nothing the rest of the day until the next feeding. in your opinion how to you feed your cockatiel or parrot in general.
