Baby Tiel - Does she like me? (Video)

[frozengirl]

Here is my baby tiel 2 months old tomorrow. I had her for 1 week now. She came from a breeder hand fed. Her name is Alsing.

I want her to like me and enjoy touching if possible, so she can be harness trained.

From the video does it seem like she likes me or still just getting used to me?

Also, should I be touching her neck and head or not? She seems to not be keen on it but not hate it?

Alsing is very cute! Only two months old..........aww just a baby. She is very relaxed for only being with you for a week. I think you guys are getting along wonderfully. It will take her time to get use to being pet and yes her head is a great place to start. She didn't seem to mind at all, I think she rather enjoyed it. Petting her neck is okay too.

lol but sometimes she moves away especially if I am not really slow and sneaky about it (when she is eating or playing with a toy / perch) then I can sneak it in , lol. Sometimes she also bites me, like when I asked her to step up she had to rapid fire my finger first i think it was because she was abit miffed I pet her? lol

Alsing, I love her name :heart: My baby eggs turned one in July and are the feistiest, love bugs I've ever met! They hate me to touch their head unless I'm grabbing it to kiss, they then turn to jelly. She more than likes you, I see great things for you and Alsing's future!

They love having their neck stroked

Hi Tara and Welcome

Alsing is beautiful. Looks to me like she enjoys your company very much.
She will let you know if she wants petted. Most cockatiels (not all) enjoy being rubbed around the head and will gladly bow down for you.

Keep doing exactly what you are doing, she is very content.
