Budgie or Cockatiel | What Kind of Bird Should You Get?

I have both. They are buddies. My cockatiel was a rescue. He didnt even know how to clean his feathers. Then I brought in the budgie. She taught him how to be a bird. 🙏❤ Now they are both happy!

I had a cockatiel live until it was 21 Years old and that certainly can be a consideration in choosing a pet. Also, I would make sure to have an avian vet in your area that you can bring your bird.

I adopted 2 older cockatiels from a shelter almost 1 year ago. They don't let me handle them, but they do interact with me everyday. I named them Luther and Teddy because they sing. Their calls are different, one high and the other low and they love music.

[@miriyumyum3590]

Do you only have one? It would be better to get at least two cause budgies need a partner of their own kind. Otherwise they will get very unhappy and will show behavioural issues like plucking their feathers. It could be that your budgie is trying to replace another budgie with you. Please consider this.

[@alisonjones5827]

I have both a Cockatiel and a Budgie, both bought from Pet Shops. My Cockatiel is scared of everything, has never liked hands, and although he talks it's not really clear, but he loves company and sings the Adams Family really well. In fact, he'll sing a bit of it then wait for me to sing the next bit and then when I stop he'll carry on, he knows the tune so well! My Budgie on the other hand, is very, very tame, climbs all over me, loves to snuggle, share food etc and knows an incredible amount of words and phrases that are very clearly said. I love both my birds so much I don't go on holiday. Holidays will have to wait!

[@brookejohansen1681]

Looking to get a cockatiel. We had one when I was a kid, and he would whistle Bridge on the River Kwai and the theme song to the Andy Griffith Show and a few other things my mom taught him. And we had cats and he would meow like the cats. Boy was he loud!! But yeah, I’d love another one.

Exactly true. Jeremy my hand raised cockatiel loves to be around humans and not at all afraid of us. But CLARITY ,my seven months old store bought cockatiel likes to be by herself. And I feel after Jeremy and Clarity started being friends, Jeremy avoids human company. He is not afraid of us . But prefers the other cockatiels company. It's normal though for a bird to prefer the company of another bird. But I must see how they will both grow up in the long run.

Hello there! Your video about bathing a Cockatiel taught me very well🤩 great info here!

[@pikkusieluinen]

I noticed some comments about the long lifespan. The longer lifespan is one of the reasons I'm considering getting pet bird(s). My dog is turning 15 soon and I would love to have a social companion animal that could hang around a bit longer.. I live in a house now so we have some extra rooms and the option to build an aviary in our yard. I've had all kinds of smaller pets but I've never had a bird. I think living with an intelligent screaming poop machine would be fun.

[@cessymwah]

I have a lovebird but I want to get another bird particularly a cockatiel but I heard that they’re pretty dusty and im asthmatic as hell 😂

[@howdoyouturnthison7827]

Wait,how and why ? Can you explain ?

[@chrisstorer5224]

I have 2 cockatiels. One came into my life by accident. Super affectionate and friendly ... but definitely needed a companion while I was at work. The second cockatiel I bought as a hand-raised. About 4 months old. A bit shyer than Bertie, and unfortunately had his wings clipped, so can't keep up with Bertie's flying. Both are super affectionate and calm. Although, Bertie is very excitable and demands attention. They keep each other company and don't really make much noise. Both love sitting on my shoulder and getting cuddles and head scratches. The only downside is when Bertie lands on my head it's a bit prickly. To be honest the mess isn't too much, as long as you keep on top of it. Never though of myself as a bird person. But these two have stolen my heart and give so much love I wouldn't trade them for the world. Personal opinion: don't trim their wings. I feel so bad for Reggie when he tries to fly. Bertie can navigate around the apartment, but it's usually to look for me, not to escape. Oh and make sure they bathe ... cockatiels have a lot of bird dust!

[@rightoffthepage4942]

I've been thinking about getting a cockatiel or a lovebird. I've never owned a bird before but I've always wanted one and have been doing extensive research to make sure I know what I'm getting into. However, I'm worried about having a cockatiel because I have serious pet allergies and I think their dander is more than likely to trigger it. On the other hand I hear that lovebirds are not good starter birds and are loud and nippy. I'd really like a bird with a similar temperament to the cockatiel, but without all that feather dander. I'm really bummed about having allergies because the cockatiel sounds perfect for my lifestyle.

[@chrisstorer5224]

My cockatiel would shower with me at first lol. She'd sit on my head or on a perch I made in the bathroom (I live in a hot country so the water temp was room temperature). That kept the dander down. Then she learnt to bathe herself and it's no longer an issue. I have pet allergies and asthma - but it hasn't been an issue. Just keep the cage clean. My cockatiel came into my life by accident, I never saw myself as a bird owner, I got the second as a companion bird. Best decision I ever made. These birds give you so much love, they are like winged puppies. Couldn't imagine life without my feathered children.

[@rightoffthepage4942]

@@chrisstorer5224 That sounds like a wonderful bond you have with your birds, and cockatiels really do seem sweet. I ended up getting the lovebird and I'm actually really happy with my decision. He's the sweetest, most affectionate thing ever and he's so stinking cute! He was a little nippy when he went through his first molt, but once that was over he went back to being his sweet self. Definitely no regrets, but thanks for the tip! If I get another bird in the future it'll probably be a cockatiel.

[@littlemidwestrebornsdolls]

When I got my first bird, I bought a Cockatiel. I had a neighbor who worked for a veterinarian and she recommended a reputable breeder of Cockatiels. They were hand raised. Spike was a very sweet bird. She was a normal colored Cockatiel. After the first molt I knew for sure she was female because her tail feathers retained the barred markings on the underside. Had the tail feathers come back plain with no barred markings on the underside Spike would have been a male. I know that other color mutations of Cockatiels make it harder to know if your bird is male or female.

I just rescued a Lovebird I've had her for about a week. She is very scared 😔 She is 7 months old, was hand fed by the store she was purchased from and her wings are clipped. I like that her wings are clipped right now until she gets used to me. The previous owners had her for a month and never did anything with her accept feed her and give her water. I don't think she received veggies either she was on a rainbow food diet. I went to a mom and pop bird shop that has been around for 21 years and I put her in the house blend and a little bit of fruit mix. I also give her chooped up veggies daily. Got her a cuddle bone, appropriate sized toys, a couple more perches, a ladder, 2 food bowls as they fed her on a plate. I let her out of her cage a couple times a day and she is getting adventures. 😊 Do you have any recommendations?

I had budgies when I was a kid but they stayed in their cages (in my country no one had tamed budgies, and no internet 20+ years ago). But now I have my cockatiel and I can't imagine a better bird. He's so cuddly. He wasn't hand raised but the breeder had constant contact with the babies, so he came home (at 3-4 months old) very tame. The only problem we have is that he has his moods and when we don't let him do something he wants to do (like attack my dog for example) he bites us lol

Anshika Singh - Do you mean in the same cage? That's actually not a good idea because even if they get along outside the cages, they can become territorial over their space. And if they fight, the budgie could get seriously hurt (and would have no way to escape.) We have our two cages standing next to each other though, so the birds can always see and "talk" to each other, even when they're locked up. 😊

Right now I have a cockatoo, budgie, mynah, and zebra finches. I started with cockatiels and I used to breed them and English budgies. I love budgies they are clowns and such high energy birds. Puck the one I have now is hand raised. I have found that every hand raised budgie I have had are loving but not Velcro birds like cockatiels and their cousins the Cockatoos. I after being heavily involved in bird rescue I encourage not to buy budgies from pet stores. They are no different than puppy mills. These bird mills raise them in small metal cages with no toys. Or in big aviaries. They don't care if there is in breeding. I have been called out to help with situations like this and it's horrible. You can find hobby breeders who don't hand raise and get a budgie for about 25. The one thing anyone should consider before getting a cockatiel is their feather dust. They are up there as one of the worst birds for causing allergies. If you have any compromised lung issues like asthma they are a bad choice. Budgies are much better.

XD The most I've ever gotten from Gilbee is a peck & that felt more like he banged hsi beak on my fingers than a bite. XD And he only does that when he's got pin feathers around his head & wants skritches, but they hurt sometimes, no matter how gentle I am, cuz pin feathers. XD I actually got them both from the same pet store. It's a place that specializes in birds (that's all they have) & both were supposed to be hand tamed. Gilbee took to me right away & LOVES to sit on my shoulder. Cookie, however is afraid of hands & I wonder if that's cuz he was in a large glass sided bin with a ton of other budgies. XD He's got a flight cage with plenty of toys & doesn't come out as he tended to freak out whenever he had "escaped" while cleaning his cage & I think he's safer in there. Poor baby hit the wall last time he got out & went for a fly around the house. XD He was okay, in fact he wasn't stunned; he just fell in a place that made it easy to catch him. :D Both of my birds are in the den & they can see & hear each other & they love nature shows! :D tldr version: Gilbee', my 'tiel, is my cuddle bug who comes out & sits with me, while Cookie, my budgie, is happy in his cage. Also saw a comment about asthma & allergies & birds; just wanted to say I have bad asthma & an allergy to birds, yet I never had any issues with them. That said, check with your allergist & think about getting a bird like finches or a canary that while a companion animal, it stays in its cage. And with all the masks around wear one to clean out the cage. :D

[@Bachiea]

From where?

[@yaelgochin1356]

Vianka Montero what do you mean about that

[@ellisoalarcon2386]

I think you should get a bugie becuse its more easier to take care of a little bird btw its me again lol

[@ris8065]

I think you should look into ALL species of parrots from lovebirds to macaws and spend time with them and research a lot and get the kind of parrot you want. My first bird was a quaker parrot (a medium sized bird) and she worked perfectly *for me*

[@familymuckle2709]

Make some more videos do the one where it says lovebirds versus cockatiels which one and I'll give you more likes

[@alifayadh9005]

Early in getting both I did a lot of research I also know how u xan teach your birds tricks Yall already know the step up trick My command is swag but its known as eagle wings When your birds wings go up say your command say wings keep saying your command until they understand u and put uo there wings This trick is called flip Put your bird on a perch and use millet to get them used to being upside down soon u will be able to make them flip Now getting your bird to fly to your hand Just like the step up trick use millet to let them on your hand keep going farther and farther away from your bird then say come if he or she goes to your finger u have taught your bird the trick if not keep trying

If we ever get a bird, it would be when we move into a house since dad wants the bird to have an outside cage to be in on the summer- so no bird for me yet TwT

I have a love bird

[@ris8065]

I got a blue quaker parrot as my first bird. She’s a rescue and because of that she has some weird fears but she’s a friendly bird and she gave me the challenge I was looking for in a companion. I’m hoping to foster other parrots as a way to 1) get more experience with different birds and 2) help to maybe change the life of a bird for the better
