I was whistling & suddenly heard another whistle frm outside. Went out to check any new bird has come. Yes there was this little cockatiel sitting!! May be escaped frm cage i think. I was super excited. I placed water n banana. He/she was first scared. I whistled n talked. Later it walked few steps murmuring something then whistled at my side & flew away. I think it expected another bird & disappointed seeing me😙Next day it responded to my whistle frm somewhere. It just stole my heart😘 i never had bird in my life. I wish she come to me🤗

Thank you! I have a little baby cockatiel (on my profile,picture) and sometimes he bites and stuff. This has taught me that they just do that because they are stressed. I also did not know that you cannot feed your cockatiel chocolate and other stuff. Thank you!!!

I would get a cockatiel but they’re a bit to expensive at the moment

Hit up gum tree and find private breeders they are much cheaper and better

[@KayleeStone-si8sc]

I need help with my cockatiel I've done research on Budgies for years and I'm learning on Cockatiels now. I'm waiting for everything to be set and ready before I get the bird. Like the cage, once it's fully setup with the right things, once I bird proof my room, once Ive learned everything I need such as food, taming, sickness, moods, and so on. But I'm confused about something. So Budgies (from my knowledge) need about a week or two alone in the cage to understand the surroundings and you. You could rub your finger on the cage and such so they can get used to you. But is that the same with cockatiels? If so, how long do I need to wait until they're okay with their surroundings? What do I do when I first get it? And how soon should I let it out the cage so it can fly freely in my room?

[@unicorns_rainbows7129]

I know yesterday frosty was falling asleep on me but it was morning and she did it again today so should I take her to the vet ?

[@FadedBoi]

just got two today, its been a few hours i am able to get close to the cage sometimes

my parents say they might buy me a bird so im using this and taking notes in preparation in case they actually do

[@KABAM_BEYOND]

Thats a good idea! Make sure to get a bigger flight cage.

[@ZHPBrent]

I adopted 2 Cockatiels, how long will it take them to adjust/trust me? I can hand feed them but they will not come out of the cage or jump on my hand or even let me pet them. Love the videos, Thanks

If you get only one, make sure to take her or him out daily, and spend time with her or him. Don’t forget, don’t clip wings.

I have a cockatiel but he constantly keeps biting everyone , i give him carrot and he likes it so much he will always eat it , when i try to get him to step up on my finger he bites , i just need him to stop biting

[@donsafi261]

Use a glove and grab it in a right way it will bites the glove untill it understands biting it doesn't help then it will stop biting.

[@MUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMU]

@@donsafi261 ... Umm he accidentally got out and I had to grab him with my hand a few weeks before but good news, he is comfortable with my hand a bit now and puts 1 of his hands on it, hasn't fully stepped up yet but isn't far from it

[@MUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMU]

@@donsafi261 also if I wear gloves he will think that it isn't, anyway I don't need to do that since he doesn't bite anymore

[@TahirSajid786]

can cockatiels eat foods like lettuce, cucumbers and rice and lentils and seeds or stuff like that? we getting a cockatiel in a few weeks, our first pet and i want to make sure its safe and lives its fullest. we already got a birdcage, im not sure if its a big enough size or not. my guess is medium sized but it looks big enough. what should i do when it goes to sleep?

[@aarushk2273]

My cockateil has been laying eggs every two weeks for the last half year. I know this is dangerous but I really don't know what to do. PLS HELP.

[@funtimefactory2759]

Put fake eggs or unfertilized

[@Kage0No0Tenshi]

I think it's something wrong with my bird, love me and do a loot stuff with me but hade to grab one time to get in to cage mad to me 2 days and agresive and attacking my hand and bit pretty hard for no reason. Got it as 35 days old and now 3 months old. Reason I grabbed and force to cage is that I had to open my window to get fresh air in to my room and it's about 2 degrees celsius outside and wanted to bring my bird to living room for it to keep sleep and not get cold from my room. Try to be gentle to her but sadly she have been negative. Allways let it fly around in my room for 5 hours and that day I grabbed was the day I forget to close cage door when she went for food. I am afraid to let it fly around because it can be sleeping on a corner in my room and I do not want to grab her. Since she get to my home she have been afraid of everything for no reason even she was trusting me and played with my ears and neck and spending hours on my shoulder she also let me pet her back of head and some more, where I go she follows me on my shoulder at home but now doesn't get close to me. My hans are pretty big and she fit between my hands without holding her so I do not hurt but got really mad to me and idk what to do. What I try to stay with my hand with her snack on my hand and still hand feed her and when she have eating up her snack start to attack me again even if I do not move my hand, time will tell.

[@cqrllie]

is ur bird okay now? i think its because she lost trust in u. It could take a long time to earn it back sometimes not.

[@Kage0No0Tenshi]

@@cqrllie she is okej right now and plays with me and loot but some times she bit me by mistake and not purpese when playing. but she does not let me to scratching her OMG she is playing with my ear right now. have not gives her treats for 2 months becuze I heard it was unhealty

Hi , I just landed up in a problem with my cockatiels , can you help me , Recently 1 of my 13 cockatiels died , it was not able to get his head up , and then after 2or 3 hrs , it died , nd now another 2 of my cockatiels are showing same symptoms , idk what is happening they are shaking , literally shaking , and sitting in the ground instead of perch , their head is shaking. What is possibly happening with them....

[@idkl0l3]

Why are u not taking them to the vet? I think that obviously what you should do

[@jessicagislason4855]

Birds are possessive and territorial they will absolutely bite you just for the sake of biting you 😂 it's your job to teach them that biting gets them no where

[@shararakhaliqi5240]

Im getting a cockateil

[@kristynichols9822]

My mum refuses to take him to the vet bc we r really broke. And she says that she doesn’t have time, I DONT HAVE ENOUGH MONEY or she would say I don’t want the veterinarians to get bit. My bird does nothing but bites I can spend time with him idk how to train him I’ve tried what this video said for 1 year or 10-12 months I don’t remember but this didn’t help sorry

[@ronnietjikoeri9965]

I have 3, 1 female and 2 males. When i go to them and start whistling one male will try to mimic me and get my attention. Very nice birds but they require me to vacuum daily (7 birds in total)

[@JohnFaulkner56]

Thinkimg about getting a pair. What is thr vacuum needed for? Feathers?

Cocktails are very timid and non of the tricks work pls help when I talk softly she replies with a bite

[@Nacromancer45688]

Bruh also thx for telling me why birds bite

[@MrPorkncheese]

In the wild these birds eat mainly seeds so I feed mine mainly seeds as well. Logical

[@Blox4funfan]

Umm I feed him seeds only💀

[@habibahhasib6500]

I see, that's why my Cockatiel flow away.

[@unicorns_rainbows7129]

I can touch my cockatiel but if I put my finger near her she will attack it

[@ayaashour8211]

My bird almost eats everything! But I keep the poisonous effect food away from it. Yet, She loves to eat chicken! She fights with me to eat some of mine. Is it normal? I feed her veggies, seeds, and pastries like pasta and crackers (Not sugary). Last but not least, is it okay to keep her alone without having a partner? Or her Mental Health will be affected badly?

[@6GreedyCats]

Parrots are extremely social birds, including cockatiels. As long as she is tame, getting another one is good. Quarantine them for at least 30 days, then put their cages close together until they start to become used to one another. Slowly introduce them outside the cage, and if they start fighting out them back. Repeat until either it is clear they won’t get along or until they start to get along. Make sure to continuously train your current cockatiel throughout this, though, since birdie friends could either make them more tame or more feral. Hope this helps!
