aw what a cute guy! btw how dusty are they i've heard cockatiels can be really dusty guys
He’s not too dusty at all, actually! Like if he’s preening there will be a lil’ cloud of dander coming off of him when he shakes off at the end, but it’s nothing close to eg a mealy amazon AFAIK. We don’t have any issue with it (though to be fair we really like bird smell, heh)
good to know! i recently got a budgie but also looked at cockatiels and conures at options
