I have a question I bought an 8 weeks old cockatiel, right now, he loves me, when he see me in the morning he jumps on the top of his cage and wait for me to get closer to jump on my shoulder, I leave the top of his cage open the whole time i don't lock him in but I was wondering this morning since i started to love how he's attached to me so much do you think once his wings grows out he'd run away or fly away? or will he still as attached to me as he is now I tell you he won't leave my shoulder

@Lunarek To start with id make sure you closed his cage with him in for set periods.I made the mistake of giving mine unbound freedom.Plus you will have loads of crap to clean up. Your pet obviously trusts you which is always a miraculous first step because you have in a way tammed him.

The love wont go away and in a week or so he will fly to you as soon as you enter a room.

Be WARNED though,the first chance it gets he will make for the skys so keep all windows and doors shut.

@Lunarek I was drunk the 1 time and decided to take him out with me on my shoulder.Dispite him being glued to my shoulder every other time,the minute i stepped out side he fly away. And with my first 1 i left a window open and he got out too.

The rabbit in the video got killed by a fox because i left him out all night to roam. So theres a lesson for ya.Nature will always be very wild and free.

I have a dog now,but if i dont hurry and get his injections done,she will probley perish too.

not sure,it got killed by a fox plus the bird got out

or if not a push, a light tap, from behind, of course startles a bunny.

[anastasia22266]

no, for rastan, lunarek had the question, my bad

(for lunarek)

try a bit harder to keep innocents from torment...

not a good sign, if little cues count, that when rabbit and bird were relaxing w/each other, you pushed the rabbit and started a chase between them and so slowed the bond being built. things happen, but of course a house rabbit can't be outdoors. I gave a bunny in my care to a sanctuary, and they kept her out, and she died; brute hicks. Not ok at all with me that that happened, that I had some part.

@rastan1977

see that's what I hate doing, I hate to lock him in, it feels like i'm forcing him to bond with me. My older brother had a bird when he was 15 that has bonded with him to a point where she would fly around the city and get back to him, and she never left him. That's my goal with this bird :\

the pooping part isn't really a problem with him, he only pooped out of his cage twice, but every time he did, I put him back in, then he stopped doing it :)

Thank you for the info though :D
