Ghirahim Diamond no actually, I can hear him just fine. This would be considered a cockatiel talking, sometimes what they say is very very clear, sometimes it’s not too-too clear, sometimes it’s only a little clear and gets more clear with time. You wanna see a cockatiel simply making cockatiel noises go watch a video of cockatiels in the wild, or go watch one of those videos where the person has a bunch of cockatiels in an outdoor aviary, those usually tend to sound like natural cockatiels since they’re amongst a bunch of their own most of the time and aren’t usually around their owners enough to learn words (or maybe they do still spend a lot of time with their owners but just don’t seem to care enough to learn human words. I don’t know the specific reason but usually outdoor aviary tiels just tend to sound more natural

I would be interested in learning about this. I will be away for a few days; do not have a smart phone. But if you e-mail more info, I can get back to you. I clicked on your link, didn't see where ot contact.

While birds can enjoy a mirror, overall, or eventually it stresses them out. They can’t get rid of the intruder. Mirrors are best left out of a birds cage.

How did Chester respond? Had he been an "only 'tiel" for a while? I would need a bigger cage to get another bird (in fact the cage is a bit too small for one cockatiel.) I live in a very small efficiency; I wouldn't have room for a large cage. I woudl love to have a real friend for Bennie.

TheJLAtwell oh Chester Loved Bonnie, took them a few days to get use to each other but after that...love.....I had a large cage but they hung out on top and they had a favorite spot in the livingroom, they could fly.

Yes, they call that "heart wings." Male cockatiels will do that to express territoriality and , yes, to seduce.

TheJLAtwell yes and that's why he needs a real friend.

ɛsrα Sɛrαρ no, there’s lots of male cockatiels that get a long very very happily with just their owners- there’s an argument to be made there, and since that’s the case, then don’t tell the uploader what to do ya dummy.

I'm in love with myself, too

Of course I realize 'tiels are social birds. Please try to understand; I am a single senior citizen in a tiny efficiency apt. Maybe you think it's cruel and I shouldn't have gotten a bird, but he is a great little companion. Whenever I am home he is out of his cage. He's fully flighted and has freedom to fly around. (He likes to land on my head :) ). If I had room, I'd buy a bigger cage and more cockatiels.

ok, good to know that people still have hearts in their chest.

+yiuqwfj You don't have to word things so rudely.

TheJLAtwell don’t worry what these people say, these types of people are all over KZbin, they’re becoming a real problem. Any video that happens to have an animal in it, someone will come a long and say it’s abuse. This one person got mad at this person who uploaded a harmless cute video of their cockatiel because they said that the owner was speaking too fast and it was confusing to the cockatiel and mean and I quote “their small little brains can’t keep up with that and they’re struggling to try” lol, the person wasn’t even talking to the cockatiel in that video, they were talking to the audience/viewer. (It wouldn’t have been “abuse” even if he was talking to the cockatiel, but the fact that he wasn’t just makes that complainers comment all the more confusing! Lol) your cockatiel is adorable, I love the way he leans in when speaking and he looks very happy, I’m sure he loves having you as an owner

TheJLAtwell I’m sure you’re doing the best you can do and he is very happy with you. You’re also his companion and I know he appreciates your care ❤️.

clive lambert don’t tell her what to do ya fuckin whiney dork.

23 wow

Karen Brown I’m so sorry to hear that, that’s so sad :( 23 though, wow! Im sure you gave him a very happy life! Have you considered getting another one? Or just another parrot in general?

RON JANISCH I HAD ONE COCKATEIL IN ANOTHER'S CAGE WHILE I CLEANED, AND HE LOOKED OVER HIS SHOULDER MAKING SURE IT WAS NY THE OTHER BIRD IN THE MIRROR, HA, HA

I know...I did clean it.

Lol but (sees TheJLAtwell's reply)
