Yes, you can give him a small amount daily, it won't hurt. I recommend a
little more interaction. I think he needs more attention. I can suggest
several things you can do without removing him from his cage. Remember, he's
just a baby and you're the momma-bird. As long as he feels like you're
paying enough attention to him, he'll be happy.
Offer a small amount of millet in the palm of your hand.
Play tug-of-war with a popcycle stick.
Whistle any tune you like.
Read aloud, anything, even recipes or TV listings.
Eat near the cage, too. Tiels are very social birds, especially at meals. >> Stay informed about: need help with my tiel!!! i think they weened him to early! |

He's screaming because he wants attention. They are flock birds in the
wild and it is their nature to squawk to their flock, so he's squawking
to you! Sheesh, I rhymed with that one - LOL.
I would advise NOT to cover him up for screaming! It is only his nature
to chirp a lot.
You need to interact more with him. I bet he will turn out to be a
sweetie as my tiel is :-) >> Stay informed about: need help with my tiel!!! i think they weened him to early! |
