Weaning strategy for cockatiels:

1. Weaning a cockatiel is a long process. At the beginning, you still need to feed it some milk appropriately. Prepare some more millet, and gradually reduce the amount of milk fed and increase the amount of millet eaten every day.

2. After the cockatiel's feathers are fully grown, you can wean off all the milk. You can raise it separately from the mother cockatiel for one month, and only feed it food during this month.

3. During the weaning period, the food should be diversified. Feed it cuttlefish bones with high protein content, and feed it different fruits and vegetables every day to ensure comprehensive and balanced nutrition.

Notes on weaning cockatiels:

1. When weaning cockatiels, you must follow a step-by-step rule and give the little cockatiels time to adapt.

2. Do not feed hard food. The gastrointestinal function of little Xuanfeng is poor. Hard food will increase the burden on its gastrointestinal tract and may even cause food accumulation.

3. During the weaning period, the mental state of the baby Xuanfeng and the mother Xuanfeng is not very good, so attention should be paid to comforting their emotions.
