Our Cockatiel is 6 months old, VERY tame, rarely spends time in his cage other than to sleep, and has been hand raised. His wings were clipped when we first got him, but we let them grow back as a birds natural insticnt is to fly, and we let him fly around our apartment. Last night he went wondering out on the balcony as the door had been accidently left slightly open, and he went under the railing, couldn't find his way back, and flew off.
Does anyone know if tame cockatiels have great survival skills? Do they normally try to find crowded places around humans or do they try to find other birds? He wasn't the best flyer, and I'm concerned other birds may attack him!
We have posted up fliers, contacted vets and animal agencies in our neighbourhood, is there anything else we can do? Also, if anyone tell me what thier natural urges are, and what they are most likely to do?
Pls if anyone can help it would be appreciated!
