I'm bringing home a Cockatiel home, no other birds in the home. He's been untouched for about a year now. Anything I can do to make his transaction as stressless as possible?
Make sure he has a nice quiet place. Keep him covered at night so he doesn't get scared and so he is warm enough. Feed him what he is used to where he came from. Also let him settle for a week or so. If he has not been handled and you want to tame him go slow dont go in his cage for at least a week so he can get established and comfortable, then go really slow. Make sure you find out if he has any bad habits or traits like biting or screaming you should know about. So you know what to expect. No loud noises and you should try to put him where he can see you and get used to being around you.
good luck
