thanks for reaching out about Zucchini. Boredom is common in pet birds. In the wild, they tend to spend 70-80% of their day foraging for food, but we place it all in a bowl. So hiding food around, using foraging toys will help to occupy this little brain. Good luck.

I'm sorry to hear that one of your birds has flown away. If you have a second cage, you can place it in the yard where she flew off and put some food and water in it, as some birds will come back to eat and drink If you catch her inside, you can then close the door and bring her back in. If you do manage to catch her, bringing her to a vet to make sure she didn't get injured or ill while out and about is a good idea.

Hello Chanel and congratulations on your new pet. Here are some links with helpful information: https://www.petcoach.co/article/cockatiels-nymphicus-hollandicus-species-profile-coloration/ https://www.petcoach.co/article/basic-bird-care/ https://www.petsmart.com/learning-center/bird-care/cockatiel-care-guide/A0065.html https://vcahospitals.com/know-your-pet/cockatiels---general-information A single bird is more likely to bond with it's owner BUT you MUST devote a lot of attention to it every day or it could become lonely. These are very smart birds and they need stimulation or they can develop depression and other neurosis. Two birds are more likely to bond with each other but that's not to say they won't bond with you as well. They still need stimulation but will keep each other company. I hope this helps and please feel free to post any additional questions.

Thanks for reaching out again .If not used to hand feeding, they will rarely take it at this age. If different from the food offered at the pet store, contact the store for the same food. Provide heat support in the 80-85 f range can give some comfort. Good luck.

Thanks for reaching out about Charlie and including photos. The female could be becoming territorial due to hormones, trying to protect her prospective nest. Agreed that cage in picture is too small for long term habitation. Can you place a divider in the cage, acquire another larger cage? You can even try re-introduction but with more perches, food/water bowls. Sometimes these are temporary squabbles until hierarchy re-established. Good luck.
