I would recommend training Peri with lots of treats, whatever is his favorite fruit or veggie (you should use seeds in moderation). Make every interaction you have with Peri be a positive one, even if you are doing something as simple as cleaning his cage. Once he realized seeing/being with you results in a positive reward he will begin to grow more comfortable around you. I hope this helps. Thanks for using Boop by Petco. Best of luck.

They typically lay one egg every two days until the have a clutch of 2-8 eggs. If she is housed alone, the eggs will be infertile. She will need a fortified seed mix or commercial pelleted diet and extra calcium. Allow her to incubate the clutch for 21-30 days before attempting removal. You can take them out sooner if she abandons them.

Feeding her a pelleted diet would be best. I suggest you use Lafeber foods and they have excellent information on their website on how to transition birds from seeds to pellets. https://lafeber.com/pet-birds/species/cockatiel/#2 https://lafeber.com/pet-birds/how-to-switch-or-convert-your-bird-from-seeds-to-pellets/

Losing a mate or part of the flock can be traumatic. Try to gradually reacclimate him to you. Begin by simply sitting by his cage for ever increasing periods of time. Speak softly and move slowly around him. End each visit with a small treat. Once he is fine with that, place your hand in the cage for ever increasing periods of time. He may squawk and flap and move away at first. That's fine. Do not attempt to touch or pet him. Once he settles down, you can coax him closer to you using treats. It will take time and patience, but eventually you should be able to win him over and get him to per h on your finger.
