The first step is to find a small , clean , quiet , and bare room in your house that can fit you and the bird cage . If you have a walk in wardrobe with a light that would be perfect , but the idea is that you want to limit stimuli so she isn ' t distracted or scared by anything and , if she does get out of the cage , she ' s easy to retrieve nothing to knock over , fall behind or land on other than you and the bird cage . Take her in her cage in to the designated room for an hour or 2 each day . Talk about your day to her or just sit with her and read or something . After a week of that , when you take her in to the designated room , start putting your hand in the cage and just leave it there . Don ' t try and touch her or anything . After another week , put seeds in your hand and let her investigate you . When she ' s comfortable with your hand , that ' s when you start teaching her to step up . When she ' s calm , try putting your finger gently under her belly and nudge her a little . When she can step up reliably on to your finger , you can start taking her out of the cage and have her sit with you in the designated room . It takes a lot of time , especially with a female , for a cockatiel to warm up to you but when they do it ' s like they pull a complete 180 . As a note , it ' s important to not flinch or react if she ' s being aggressive . Parrots respond to any reaction you make and will learn that you react when they hiss or bite , so you have to deal with that by not reacting at all . It doesn ' t hurt when they bite you , but if you ' re worried then wear a glove . Good luck , be patient and diligent with the above and you ' ll have a snuggly doofus in a few months 3 The above is for a cockatiel but applies to mostall parrots . Apply that to your birds and they ' ll be fine , but it does take time
