Such a photogenic boi!
Oh no, poor baby! It's great to hear that he's safe and in one piece after the butt blast. It must have been so terrifying to not know whether he was going to make it out or not.
Subscribed! Let’s expand the birdiverse in the fediverse!
Edit: Check out c/cockatiel too!
They actually make loose-leaf “tea” for parrots that are blends of parrot-safe herbs and fruits. It would go so well with this tea time setup!

Oh my god, so it's not just me!
Not at all! I also joined Lemmy recently as part of the great Reddit migration.
It’s already begun - I’ve been getting “unable to fetch posts”-type errors since this morning. Hang on tight folks, it’ll be a wild ride as we welcome the flood of new Fledditors!
I’m getting the same errors every few minutes on iOS too.
Yes, letting the bird get used to the cage is usually recommended for the first week or two. Every bird is different though, so it’s best to see what your bird is comfortable with. Some birds are naturally more shy and apprehensive than others, and need extra time inside the safety of the cage to feel comfortable before interacting with humans. Other birds (like my Snow and Jaina when they first came home) will want to play with you right away. If you want to be extra safe, it’s best to leave your new bird in the cage undisturbed for a while and see how it behaves.
Worth a try! I’d love to see some videos of your lil tiel.
