I want to give my tiel treats to get her used to my hands but I've never tried giving her treats before (she's technically my mom's tiel but my mom isn't able to interact with her as much as she needs). Do you have any recommendations?

Millet is always good! And sunflower seeds. If you’re trying to get her used to your hand a sprig of millet is nice because then she can grab some of it from further way. If you want healthier snacks I always recommend apples since my tiels love them! When you’re offering treats just go at her pace and if she seems scared or aggressive back off and try again later.

What fruits are okay to give tiels? Are they better fresh or frozen, or does that depend on the birb's preference?

There are some lists of bird safe fruits/veggies/etc here and here. If I ever give a new fruit to the tiels I look it up and try to find two sources that say it’s safe.

Fresh is probably better nutrition-wise, but if your bird ends up having a preference for frozen stuff better frozen fruit than none at all!
