Question

does anyone know some good household snacks --any that i might have laying around that are good treats for my pet cockatiels-- i have been trick training them without treats succesfully --even though i only got them yesterday-- and i want to reward them when they do good but i cant go to the store to buy any---

Answer 1

My birds love honey and bananas! Any fruit goes! Be sure to wash them!

Answer 2

Heres a recipe I made up. Heres what you need:
Popcorn(with little or no butter)
Honey
Cockatiel seed(you obviously have that)
Powedered bird vitamins(optional)

Mix the vitamins(if you want) into the honey. Pour honey into a container.Roll pieces of popcorn in honey. Than Put the glazed popcorn pieces in a bowl of cockatiel seeds. Than put the popcorn in the fridge and leave in there for a day. Than give to your tiel. You can easily store treats in a ziploc bag.
It's a tasty easy and fast to male treat for your bird.
