My brother and I rescued this cockatiel. I was wondering if anyone could help me figure out what her approximate age is? He looks young but acts like an old granny so we are calling her Kitana until I cold locate the owner. People said she was skittling near the bushes of the apartment complex area where live in. There are lots of cats in the area. Like LOTS. And we had storms the last 2 says. I'm afraid because she refuses to fly at all. I'm not sure if that's because the wings were trimmed or not. She seems very very skittish and panicy. I handled my friends cockatiels recently and she is nothing like them.

For now, I got her a 2.5 feet by 1.8 feet cage that I'm just letting her rest in. I put in 1 fat wooden perch that has curved on it. I don't have bird pellet food so just giving her mixed seeds and water. I went to a per store and they recommended adding a drop of some liquid into the water. I honestly don't know what it was but I trusted them and added a drop, I think it said immune booster? But didn't look very branded tbh.

I was able to get a avian vet appointment for her for next week. There is only 1 avian vet in my town apparently. I don't think I will be able to keep her. So I just want to keep this bird happy and well taken care of for the next month or two.

From Amazon I ordered 1 paper destructible toy thing for her from a brand called planet pleasure? I got 1 small packet of millet and cuttlebone And food pellet from this RouduBush California. Since those 3 got recommended on amazon.

Her tail feather looks super dirty and I'm not sure what the best way to wash her at all. Also I can't really afford a large cage. I just got this temporarily for her. She had a huge 1 hour meal and has been asleep the last 7 hours and I stayed awake the entire night to keep watch. She woke up to move a little maybe 2 times? But otherwise just head 180 and sleeping. I'm kind of sleep deprived so my post may seem a little drunk. I just wanna take good care of this poor animal while it's with me. I hope someone can help me with what more I could do and tell me more about the bird.
