Cockatiel Conundrum: Better a Home or Aviary?
Previous question was too long...
I've an escaped cockatiel, looked for the owner on the papers, got 10 offers of adoption. If the owner can't be found, should i give the bird to a loving home with humans, or to a guy with an aviary, to live with other 'tiels?
Both options seem equally trustworthy (families who have/had a cockatiel and treated it as a pet, letting it out of the cage, and the guy with the aviaries comes reccommended by an association).
The bird is a bit wild, possibly not hand fed. Can a bird like that (shy not terrified or V. aggressive) be a good pet?

He can become a pet but may do better in an aviary. make sure to go check out his place, make sure he's able and willing to introduce him slowly, give him a balanced diet, and has the funds for an avian vet.

he could be tamed. But if he's a bit wild, he would be happier in and aviary with friends.
