Hey, I feel like adding something as many seem to have problems with the bird accepting scritches 😁 If they don't know that your finger approaching thier head means scritches they could be scared of it at first, also depending on their mood at the monent. Best moment to "teach" that is when they are chilled, for example when they are relaxing on your shoulder, there is always that moment of the day when they get tired and and you can see it because the head becomes more fluffy and the beak looks smaller because covered by the feathers. Usually it happens in the evening when the lights get lower. In that moment if you slowly try to give scritches using your fingertips and not your nails, they are more likely to accept it and will realize that it feels good. Also it's not like they wanna get scritched everytime you try to offer it, but after that they understand that pointing your finger to their head means that you can give scritches, they will either lower their head to get them or step back depending by their mood in that moment .

My tiel is on level like 0 haha But I just got him yesterday so it makes sense. Sometimes he chirps when I enter the room but idk why he also hasn't eaten or drank anything yet, at least that I have seen, but I was looking it up and many people have said that their tiels did neither when they first brought them home? he does grind his beak though, for whatever reason. Edit (3 months later, 2/23/20): My tiel (Piko!) is now level 3-5. He will eat millet from my hand and likes to sit on my shoulder. He will preen himself on me and I can even give him birdy kisses! He's not the happiest bird when I try to give him scritches, though. Edit 2 (9/3/2021 hehe for you Angie): 'Tiel is around level 5 with the exception of scritches, although some birds don't like them at all. I can sort of place my hand on his head and he won't really do anything (he used to bite), but I still can't move my fingers to scritch him. He plays with my jewelry and clothes n stuff when he's on my shoulder, and tries to steal whatever food I am eating while he's on me (even if the food is literally in my mouth already haha) and he is very chatty (sings pirates of the caribbean, cat calls, parts of saria's song, says his name A LOT, etc.). He will eat out of my hand and absolutely lovessss pumpkin seeds. If I put my face close to his he might give me a birdy kiss and make a clicking sound, but he still can't really do any tricks yet. I am trying to teach him to "shake" but it's slow progress... lol. He is sort of potty trained, though. If I take him off my shoulder & hold him over a trash can he knows to go potty before I will let him back on my shoulder. I luv him :)

So I would visit almost everyday for a month or so. Fast forward about a year or so later, It flew away as I was trusting myself and the Tiel to be out of the cage. I just picked up a 1 year old Tiel today and I am at Level 0.. I sure hope I can succefully train it. Thanks for the video!

I got a little stuck as to how to start but it's really a matter of finding which training works for them, and he responded amazingly to target training. It was only a couple weeks after that when he became comfortable enough to step up on my hand. Actually, he took more to stepping onto a perch I was holding before he was comfortable with my hand. Now he prefers my hand, so it's safe to say he's fully hand trained at this point. There were a lot of videos that gave me so much unnecessary anxiety, but it's really just a matter of patience as well as respecting his boundaries☺️

I know this is an old video but I liked to share my experience with the cockatiel. So at first our cockatiel was an impulse buy me, my brother and my sister wanted a bird we like animals but are too lazy to take care of them properly. So we got a cockatiel from a pet store without knowing nothing about their nature or that they need big cages. We did buy the bird a big cage , but later our grandmother thought that the cage was too small. So she let him live in a room that we don't use it only has a fridge in it because of that he has a ton of space. Regretfully when we bought the cockatiel we only bought a single one. We still don't have that much spare money for another cockatiel so basically after the initial bird craze died off we started paying less atention to him and it never got used to us we never trained him because we didn't even know how to take care of him. So our grandmother took care of him most of the time. She put newspaper on the floor in his new living area that is not a cage, she took a few branches from the outdoors and place it in the living room so he has a few perches to play with and a wide room to walk in. She also gave him seeds as food , we didn't know about pellets at that time After a while I matured and noticed the error of my mistakes. So now I'm trying to do research and take care of him so far I've noticed that I'm at rank 2 with my cockatiel he eats from the bowl while I'm gently without any movement holding it to him. After talking to him for awhile I noticed that he sometimes notices me and comes to inspect me and my actions. He tried to bite me a couple of times when i tried to gain his trust by placing my hand in his cage. But i remained calm in those situations i've never even thought about punishing my bird. Right now I'm trying to get him to rank three where he eats food from my hand. I wanted to ask you? Do you think if I could build my trust with him. I also wanted to know if he hates me from the fact that when he notices me now he flies from his perch in order to observe. And i wanted to know how much time should you spend on gaining trust and training your cocktiel daily without tiring him out to much.

I will have to follow this video, which is amazing and helpful, to make progress!

ciao, ho una calo maschio da quasi due mesi e seguendo i tuoi consigli ora mi sale sul dito se tengo vicino una spiga di panico oppure se metto dei semi sul palmo della mano però se provo a spostarlo quando è salito si spaventa e scappa su sul suo bastoncino. te cosa mi consiglieresti di fare?

My cockatiel, Izzy, is between 4 and 5. She will groom herself on us and play with our hair and clothes but won't accept scritches. She is taking to target training well. Her favorite treat is millet. I need to work with her to trust my hands. Currently she only trust my hands when she wants something: millet, out of cage or up from the floor.

I have two young girls (2 years) that love to stay around me, on my hands, on my shoulders, I could even teach them some tricks ( shake hands, wave hello, big eagle, fetch stick). But I just can't make them accept scritches or grabbing them. I could do this once or twice, but they were unaware (they thought it was the other one doing it) and as soon as they saw it was actually me, they would hiss me and leave. Do you think I can ever teach them to trust me with scritches too? Also, is it possible for them to be as confortable with other people as they are to me? Thanks, great advices btw!

My bird is at level 7. I love him. I had him for 4 years now. I bought him a harness but he hates it. So I clip his wings and he usually stay on my shoulder. We do everything together like going on trips and going to the beach.

Thank you so much for the video!! I have 2 cockatiels, one is level 5, the other-a store tiel at level 1, both around 14 months old. B.t.w. how can you tell their gender considering their behaviour? We thought they would be a pair but sometimes they fight.

Males sing in a melodious way, move their head up and down slamming their big on surfaces and sometimes stay with their wings slightly open with the shape of an heart from behind!

My bird was doing really well but he's started losing trust and I don't know why. It definitely has something to do with how my dad handles him. My dad pokes at his belly and stuff, saying it's a game even though my tiel clearly hates it, snaps at my dad's fingers all the time and now my dad gets frustrated when the bird bites him instead of stepping up. Despite losing trust, when he's in a good mood he is still 5. He was nearing 6 but he's fallen back due to how people treat him. I'm really trying and hope to get him to 7 some day. I've had him since the beginning of January, so four months now, he was already decently good when I met him, I found him on craigslist and went to meet him. He bit but they used a stick to step him up, got rid of that and he steps on my finger fine and has never bitten hard, just nips sometimes. I think they were scared of him, they re-homed him because they got a parrotlet he didn't get along with and decided that the new bird was better I guess. He rode on my shoulder the whole way home and bonded instantly, he didn't even want time to adjust to his surroundings, he just wanted out of the cage. Makes sense, it's small and I'm not sure I plan on upgrading it to a larger cage. The reason for that is because it's open all day though, he's only in there to eat, drink, sleep, and occasionally play. He usually sits on his perch outside the cage or jumps on my and waddles his way to my shoulder. He's doing good and I love him a lot :)

My bird is at some weird mix between 4 and 5??? He loves to come out and will play with my hair but he doesn't like scritches unless I offer first, and even then he hardly ever accepts (also when I scritch him he enjoys it for a minute and he then attacks me?)

Recently took in a cockatiel that was owned by someone else. No idea the level of training it’s had. When we first met it would easily step on to my fingers and sit on my shoulder. Not even a week later it hisses at me and does not want me to even touch him at all. It’s probably getting used to a new home and is anxious but it’s strange having a bird that one day will play with my hair on my shoulder and then not even wish to be touched the next day. Thoughts on how to earn its trust when it’s giving me mixed signs?
