Best Answer

The ideal treat for training a cockatiel will depend on what the individual bird likes, but here are some guidelines. 1. TINY: You don't want your bird to fill up on treats and lose interest in training. Each treat should be no bigger than a grain of rice. Using tweezers can help if you have trouble handling tiny objects, and also discourages biting. 2. SAFE: Don't use something that could make your bird sick, even if it is a tiny amount. That means no meat, no dairy, no soy, no chocolate. 3. NUTRITIOUS: Every treat your bird eats means one less bite of his regular food. Some birds are intrigued enough by the novelty of being fed bit by bit from their human that you can use their regular food. Otherwise, you can use tiny pieces of fruit, vegetables, or nuts.

Is millet sunflower seed egg biscuit and chopped lettuce all that is needed to feed your quail and cockatiel?

NO. I am not sure about quails, but for your cockatiel, you need to feed him a good quality cockatiel, or small hookbill, feed. For a good balanced diet, I highly recommend feeding various fruits and vegetables as well. Millet is a TREAT, so try to only give it about once or twice a week. :)

No, it's not a good idea. Corn chips have too much salt to be a healthful treat for your bird. Plain whole wheat toast is a safer treat if you want to share something crunchy with your bird.
