Anything thin enough for them to grip will be tasted, or even chewed, as they embark on the hunt for the next toy. Removing harmful items and eliminating potential hazards will help your friend live a longer life.
Cockatiels explore both in the air and on foot.
No matter how hard you try to stop them, they explore any apparently warm, cozy and enclosed space. Unfortunately, they are unidirectional thinkers and tend to forget that once they delve into an enclosed space, they may not be able to get out. Trying to outwit owners by chewing on cabling is another favorite cockatiel sport. Your bird will inspect computer wires, speaker wires, electrical cabling, lamps, stereos, and anything else that has to be plugged in. Usually the bird will just run the wire through its beak.
