bird advice

they like to chew but usually don't eat non food items maybe giving it a cuddle bone may curb the habit 

I get my cockatiel straw/wooden toys so that he can destroy those instead of the paint off the wall

destructive behavior in birds is usually due to boredom, i would recommend small wooden blocks like these here. they can be strung and hung up in his favorite places as well! my birds were huge fans :)

Damn gorlock, u ate ur bird?
