I have a tip for the toys, if you don't want to buy more every week. Simply place all the toys in the cage except one, and in a few weeks, put that toy in and take another toy out. Rotate like this every few weeks, and the old toy seems like new! I'm not sure that'll work for all birds though. It works fine for mine, but your bird might be a bit picky, so I'm sorry if this doesn't work

Comment from year ago, but hey I think I'll try this method. I have some homemade toys too, but most of them is easily destructible so hopefully if I make a new one it'll seem like new to my birb

You have a really lovely bird, I could watch him for ages, I have two but even though we have a great rapport, they won't allow physical contact. I do love them more than anything in the world. I have them for 15 months and were 3 to 6 months old when I bought them. Apart from the first 6 weeks (about), they are never shut in the cage. I'd never get them in there anyway, I'm in a wheelchair. I long for the day when they are like your little darling. Thanks for this video, i enjoyed it immensely.

I’ve got a couple of tips! No dowel or sand perches, as this is like walking on monkey bars the whole day, and causes foot problems and infections easily. Make sure you teach it to forage, as this is what takes up most of their day in the wild. Also, really good sources for further information on proper care can be found in the Avian Avenue Parrot Forum, and the Flock Talk KZbin channel page. They are both incredible sources, so i’d definitely encourage anybody and everybody to go have a look and go check them both out! Hope this helps, and good luck!

I'm thinking about getting a cockatiel, but I want to be completely prepared. I'm a college student with a lot of hours away from home (I'm gone from 7-4). I have a dog, who is okay with the schedule so long as I run her for an hour every day, but I don't know about how that might translate with a cockatiel. Is that too much time? If it isn't, should I be looking at an extra large cage to give it more to do during the day?
@EverydayAquarist7 жыл бұрын
I work 9-6 full time. My Lil guy sleeps in my room with me and the wife. At half six / seven he wakes us up with singing, hitting things or rattles his cage to come out. He has an hour of snuggles or whatever he wants then goes back in himself for breakfast. I get back at half six and he comes back out for however long he needs but usually puts himself away for dinner around 8, he is very food orientated. During the day he is satisfied to sleep and play about in his cage, as on my days off that's what he is happy to do, although I do get him out more on days off.

If the bird is comfortable with it, just clip them as necessary. If your bird won't accept you clipping it's nails, try taking it to a specialist or use a sand paper perch once or maybe twice a week. It will help, but if you use a sand perch too often it could cause your bird's feet to get rougher skin and possibly make their feet a little sore. Nothing major, but just moderate it.

How did you end up with a bird if you don't think you can care for it. Birds can deal with noise however it will make them more noisy as they will respond to it. He will need to be given attention and loved every day otherwise you will end up with a bird who doesn't like humans. They are very impressionable, how you treat them will determine what kind of bird they become.

@EverydayAquarist7 жыл бұрын
That sounds like a horrible place for a bird to be. Good on you for rescuing it. The largest vision cage is great, my bird is very happy in it. I would put her initially in the quiet part of the house to get used to you and the new noises of the house, this may take a while, also if she has never seen a dog before this may terrify her. Birds are very easily frightened and can damage themselves from flapping about. I would take socializing with her very very slowly, as in, just sit next to the cage for maybe a few weeks just to get her used to you and talk to her. You can then try giving her millet or things she likes to try and get her to know you are friendly. Depending on whether she was hand raised or how she has been handled she may warm up to you and be able to be handled but maybe not. It's very dependent on the bird and so many variables. Best advice is to take it slow, follow the advice on my video, especially the part at the end. Birds are so sensitive and can be damaged mentally like any abused animal. But with love and care I imagine she'll warm up to you eventually but it may take years! If you need any more advice feel free to message me, or even checkout www.reddit.com/r/cockatiel its a great place for advice.

It means zero response. So yes put him down and walk out or just completely disregard his action. Doing anything during bad behaviour even eye contact will reward the cockatiel and enforce the behaviour

I go to my local petco. This particular cage was usually on sale. Its perfect for my budgie "Stella". I have to admit the cleaning process has heen a pain. I prefer the pull out tray. The whole top unclips to expose the bottom. Abit more work to maintain

I just adopted a 1 year old male cockatiel He will not eat any fruits or vegetables. What can I do to supplement his diet? Thank you.
@EverydayAquarist6 жыл бұрын
Keep offering him small amounts of fruit and veg chopped into small bits, eventually he may get to like them. Eating them yourself in front of him may spark his interest. Also offer him a cockatiel pellet like harrisons

How big of a cage would you recommend for 2 cockatiels?

Comment vous dites "bigarré" ( la mutation de cette callopsitte ) dans votre langue? How do you call that cockatiel's mutation in your tongue? It's my favorite.

how often do you get his beak trimmed? and what about the claws, is that something you can do on your own?
@EverydayAquarist7 жыл бұрын
I don't ever trim his beak or claws. I have nice abrasive perches designed to gently file his claws down as he walks on them ( NOT the sand paper ones, they're bad) also he does his own beak on the cuttle bone, toys and rubbing it on things.
@rugeramerican3087 жыл бұрын
Everyday Aquarist Okay, good to hear. Many bird owners say you gotta take your bird to the vet to do this. I know one guy who goes EVERY MONTH.

We get my parrots nails trimmed bout every 3 months. You should never trim their beaks (unless it is extremely long, a sign of liver disease). The beak is a bone so it would be like trimming our chin.

No differences that I've noticed. The female might start making a nest from time to time. Better read a few books.
