Training a cockatiel to sit on your finger can be a fun and rewarding experience for both you and your bird. Here are some steps to help you train your cockatiel:
1. Build Trust
Before you start the actual training, it’s important that your cockatiel feels comfortable with you and its surroundings. Spend plenty of time near your bird and talk to it softly. Offer treats from your hand to get it accustomed to your presence and to start building trust.
2. Tame Your Bird
Once your cockatiel is no longer afraid of your hand, try bringing your hand closer. Do this slowly and gently. It can help to hold a favorite treat in your hand to encourage it to come closer.
3. Introduce a Command
Choose a command such as "step up" or "come" that you will use consistently. Hold your hand or finger close to the bird in a way that makes it easy for the bird to step onto. Repeat the command as you do this.
