He / she doesn’t seem to have too many outstanding characteristics — he looks exactly like a standard, “Normal Gray Cockatiel.” He seems to have all of his claws, except the middle claw on his right foot is white, whereas all the others are black. He loves to chirp and sing — no actual songs that I can determine — and has a few in his / her repertoire, which is repeated over and over.
He / she grinds his / her beak a lot, making a strange clicking noise. The bird also frequently stretches his / her extremities — not sure if this is normal cockatiel behavior or not.
Finally, it seems to be afraid of me. It refuses to go on my hand or shoulder, and once bit me very hard, so it is not a very playful bird. It won’t let you pet him / her, rub its neck or belly…nothing. 🙁
