Are cockatiels scared of storms? If they are what can I do to make him less scared and care for him? He is nearly 5 months old?

Yes, they can be very stressed and scared during storms, basically closing the house as much as possible to eliminate most of the noise is the main thing to do, putting on music can also help although it's probably not an option at night.
