Answer 1

While I agree it's probably to your advantage to have your bird's wings clipped, I also recommend spending some time with him in a small, enclosed room where he can't really go anywhere. You want him to find being on you fun and interesting and way cooler than being any other place. So, when you get him out, talk calmly, sweetly (mine adore baby talk), and gently hold his toes down with your thumb so he can't go anywhere. If he'll let you, try to gently touch him, until he's comfortable with your hands. Then, once that's the case, you should be able to perch him on your arm and have him stay there.

My birds are A LOT bigger than a cockatiel, but I used to have a cockatiel when I was growing up. Toby was the coolest bird ever. My Macaw, Rio is too much of a wuss to try to fly, but more than that, he trusts me with every feather on his body. He knows beyond a shadow of a doubt that I'd never in a million years hurt him, and because of that, he'd rather be on me than off me. (to the effect that when I walk past his cage he is constantly saying "Hey...You...C'mere. C'mere. Plllllleeeeeease?" LOL)

I know I keep saying the same thing in my posts, but with birds, it really is all about trust. If you're bird trusts you, then you two will never really have any issues you can't work out...

Have someone experienced clip your birds wings and show you how to do it too. Clipping the wings of your pet birds is not only a way to keep them from flying off but it is also a safety precaution so that if the bird does fly off and around your house it doesn't accidently fly into something like a window or mirror. This can be fatal.

Since it's a cockatiel, I recommend you spend more time bonding with your bird. Most Cockatiels follow there loved ones and stay close by them. Mine decided my head was the perfect landing platform.

You can get his wings clipped. You can have that done at a vet or at some pet stores.
Clipping a pet birds wings is a good idea for their own safety and it does not hurt them if it's done right. It keeps them from flying into ceiling fans and other household dangers.

Answer 4

Take the cockatiel to the vet and have them clip the wings and then the bird won't fly away... it's the safest way

Answer 5

take da cockatiel down to your local vet and get them to clip its wings and then you can take the bird out as much as you like until the feathers grow back

Answer 6

Let it out of it's cage at least once a week and let it fly around your room and shut your doors and windows while it flies around your room it will eventually get used to flying and it won't try to escape.

Answer 7
