The Necessity of Correctly Presenting Your Cockatiel To Its New Home
Posted by gordonalvarez1983 on December 4, 2009
Acquiring a new pet is undoubtedly an exhilarating experience.
You can't wait to take your new cockatiel bird home with you!
You instantly want to get him or her set up so you can begin taking pleasure in its company. As soon as you walk through your front door you head immediately to the bird's permanent cage and put the cockatiel inside. Not so!
Before you put your new cockatiel into their cage, it is necessary to make sure that particular things are taken care of first.
Examine the room in which your bird's cage is situated and ensure that there are no open windows or doors that the cockatiel could possibly disappear out of.
Unplug all electrical appliances and if a fireplace or candle is present, snuff out any fire that may be lit.
The cockatiel can be put into its permanent home after these preventive measures have been completed. If the pet shop from which you acquired your new pet sent you home with a bird carrier box, begin opening it carefully. Open the door to the cage completely, and point the bird carrier's opening in the direction of the door to make sure that the cockatiel goes right in. It may take little while for your cockatiel to make the transition into it's new home, so try to be understanding.
Remember, if you bought your bird from a pet shop, it's surroundings were more than likely very commodious and populated by other birds. Because of their nervous nature, transitioning your cockatiel into your home should be dealt with carefully.
If you want to ascertain that your bird will adjust a bit better, consider the following tips:
1. Your cockatiel will conform to its new home with less stress if you place it in its cage in the morning.
2. Do not be overly-attentive to your new cockatiel; keep an eye on it from a distance and only approach when needed.
