i’ve got this cockatiel called Mango, i’ve noticed whenever he’s standing on a perch he retracts his legs help

He frequently changes which leg he’s standing on? Is there a chance that he’s got a fracture? Also he sleeps by hanging onto the wall. We tried preventing it but later he just goes back to hanging. Is he putting too much stress on his legs? Last thing. How do u make birds eat more things other than seeds?

Does he have different sized perches in his cage? If the bird is forced to sit on the same size perch all day it can hurt/stress his feet. Most birds do switch up feet though when they stand, I wouldn’t worry too much about it. Does he have a nice stable perch or even one of those little tents (happy hut) to sleep in? Most birds like to feel cozy and secure while they sleep. If you are concerned about him hanging on the cage try some different perches, a happy hut, or similar.
For getting him to eat something different you can try a few ways. Mix some new things in with his food everyday, same thing, he’ll eventually try it. That could take weeks though depending on how stubborn your bird is. You can try putting new foods in his food dish before you feed him in the morning for awhile, see if he eats any of it. If he is tame, most birds will try whatever their owners are eating, pretend to eat whatever you want him to try then offer a piece to him. Some people say that a crash course in new foods can get them to eat, if you want to switch from seeds to pellets for example, offer only the pellets, eventually the bird will eat them, I don’t know that I like that idea personally, birds can lose weight very quickly if they don’t eat.
