How many pellets do 3 month old cockatiels eat a day?

I got a new cockatiel for 4 days now. he hasnt eatten much unless i feed him by my hand and take him out of his cage. he always goes for the seeds that are mixed with the pellets. he’ll eat those first then he’ll eat the peppers. but once thats done, he wont touch the pellets. but how many should he be eatting on average. and please dont say it depends because i asked his vet and he said the same and i asked the breeder and she said the same. i just need an average because im a new bird owner and dont know. like around 5-10 pellets a day? 10-20? 30-40? 50-60? 100-120? please help! i’m afraid my bird isnt eatting much.

What’s with this really weird hummingbird behavior?

To you bird people…i live in pennsylvania, and i have a hummingbird feeder. And while hummingbirds that feed on it usually hover, every once in awhile they’ll land on it for 20 or 30 seconds. Well, I noticed a couple weeks ago, one hummingbird when it lands, will do this thing where it sorta bobs its head from side to side…almost like someone listening to hip hop music might. I thought that particular hummingbird might just have some mental or physical problem, but then noticed the other day an entirely different hummingbird clearly doing the same thing. It’s this slow rythmic bobbing of the head back and forth when perched, they may do it 10 or 15 seconds at a time. Both that did it were males.
Is this a mating attractant? Does it deal with sugarwater digestion? Is it already a known behavior to hummingbird experts? I doubt I’ve made some behavioral discovery, but if nobody on here is familar with this behavior, I just might have!

Has anyone seen or heard of this behavior?
