This is what we know about him:

Oscar is a quiet and observant white face cockatiel who joined his current family about 5–6 years ago. He has beautiful gray and white feathers and a calm, independent personality. Oscar isn’t much of a talker, but he enjoys watching the world around him and having the security of a safe space.

Oscar has not been handled much and isn’t stick trained, so he’ll need a patient adopter who understands that he may be happiest simply being admired and cared for without a lot of hands-on interaction. He would be a wonderful companion for someone who appreciates the gentle presence of cockatiels and is willing to let him be himself.

***Information that is universal to every bird:

1) Birds are typically not family animals. They usually choose a favorite and at best you can expect them to tolerate everyone else.

2) Birds are not great with kids, dogs, other birds, and are not cuddly with everyone, nor can they really be trained to be. Birds are flock animals, who are social creatures that need to be in a communal area where they can see the rest of the family, or you may experience serious vocalization and behavior problems. We’ve never met a bird who is great with kids, but we have met kids who are respectful of birds.

3) Birds bite. But, you shouldn’t “take the bite”. If you’re getting bit, you haven’t earned the trust of the bird, and are pushing the bird past his/her limits. You must figure out what the bird needs, and make what you’re asking of the bird more attractive than what they are already doing.

4) Birds are not “dominance” based creatures. Your only option for birds is to earn their trust. If they are, say…on top of a cage and don’t want to come down, that is where they feel safest, not a dominance thing. They are not trying to exert dominance, they just don’t want to come down. Your job as a parrot owner is to figure out what you can do to help them trust you, and whatever you are asking to be more attractive than what they are already doing.

5) NEVER send money over the internet for adoption with any individual or organization for the adoption of an animal you have not met in person. That is almost always a scam.
