very nice :)

that aviary looks a bit small for 7 cockatiels - but I've never kept them, so I guess you know best :)

Ive seen people keep bulk quarrions in small cages without problems however 1 have 1 pair with 1 pair turks in a 2.5 x 1.5 and I think this is too small for them both.

nutrigrain is a every now and then treat .
lots of time and head scratches at your ones age start with teaching it to hop up on your finger by gently pushing your finger against its "knees" and saying the same thing at the same time ..I say "come on baby" but" step up " or " hop up " will do fine .
First foods here are a large flat bowl or tray of budgie mix or finch mix ( they will sit in this and learn to eat seed ) millet heads , cooked and cooled peas and soaked seed then they get whatever the adults get but a little at a time.
Lots of fresh food and often so it doesnt go off in the cage .
