How can I get Tiko to stop being afraid of Rocko and Loki shes afraid of small birds and she is used to other birds and I know that because she was kissing an African grey yesterday.If they fly Tiko flies off away.I want them all to get along well I know they might not actually get along because like big size difference but I want them to be ok living in the same house and not be stressed.I think the tiels are ok with Tiko though because they always try get close to her so Rocko and Loki have to stay in their room and cant come downstairs if Tiko is out.Also Cracker,Casper and Casha are coming for a visit again tommorow so there will be a lot of birds in the house again.And because cracker is a conure and looks a but like her I mean the feather shape I thought she would be ok with him.

You could try showing her that all the birds are members of the same flock. I would try doing something Tiko likes, then doing the same thing with the tiels, then coming back to Tiko again, alternating to make it sort of a social experience that she's having with the tiels. For example most big birds like millet spray, so if Tiko is used to eating millet spray you could hold it for her to nibble, then let the tiels nibble, then let her nibble again. Don't have the tiels too close while you're doing this so they don't make her nervous, or even do it while everyone is in their cage so the tiels can't do anything much that might startle her.

Tiko is in the Kitchen she has a stand in the living room and the tiels are in my bedroom.She has seen them eating millet before.

The point is to make it feel like a flock experience, where everybody is eating millet more or less at the same time. If she spends most of the time in a different room than the tiels, that's probably the reason she's afraid of them. She hasn't had enough time to get used to them, so when she does see them they seem more like intruders than flockmates.
