How can I get Sugar the cockatiel used to her new home?

Question

Sugar is my new cockatiel and she has a toe with gangrene. My mom (who has worked with human gangrene) says she will bite it off. It's hanging on by a little tendon and I think Sugar hurts all the time. I bought some anti-biotics for her at the pet store because theres no way she can get to the vet, but what can I do to make her feel safe and loved?

Answer 1

The best thing for you to do now, is to read the back of the anto-biotics and provide what is says. Then, the best thing that you can do, is make sure she has a clean cage, clean water, fresh food, and leave her in a room with the TV on, or even a radio, since cockatiels can't stand a quiet room. Try not to play with her for now, just so that she can kinda be on her own for now.

I hope that I helped! Thanks, and good luck,

Answer 2

constantly purchase good high quality seed! the perfect nutrition for a Cockatiel is "organic nutrition" via this I advise seed! Sunflower,Black/white,Millet of all kinds,Hemp(slightly now and then),Niger,Canary seed,Buckwheat,finished Oats,Maize,any good Budgie mixture which many times will comprise maximum of those. Carrot,Chickweed (while available)Dandelion,the two Leaves and Seeding heads,Spinach and clean Corn Cob yet no longer Lettuce Apple,Orange.Seeding Grasses yet be careful the place you %. those in case they have been sprayed with weed killer,Brussel sprouts (get rid of the firstlayer of leaves) Broccoli. Soaked seed any of the above soak in heat water in a single day,drain rinse and place someplace heat till at last it sprouts,and feed them as a manage. There are fairly a extensive form of ingredients which you would be able to constantly attempt to furnish it form. As a breeder of Cockatiels of assorted mutations I even have discovered those have been and are the perfect,ward off Pellets they are not organic. verify you besides might have Cuttle fish bone and Mineral block. All good puppy shops provides you suggestion yet once you already know a breeder then thats the guy to talk too.

Take good care of the gangrene, but avoid handling her unnecessarily for a few days. Then clip her wings, so she is more dependent on you, and handle her daily. Carry her around the house on your finger, once she will stay there, and hold her high. This makes her feel more confident. Talk to her and whistle or make kissing noises. Cockatiels like to communicate this way. It's true they like to listen to the radio, especially classical music. They are flocking birds, and they like to feel like they have company, even when they don't. Kinda like people.
If convenient, keep her in the room where you eat. It will make her feel more a part of the "flock." They like to see people eat.
With a new bird, I like to pin a spray of millet on my shoulder, so the bird can eat while on my shoulder. Birds associate food with love, so this helps tame them.
