So many naive people in the comments hurts. You guys buy birds without informing yourself beforehand and then come on these videos to comment nonsense because the bird didn't fall in love with you within 3 days. Some even complain that the bird will 'only' sit on their shoulder, but ignore that that's the first big step and progress.

[@houseofno]

Be patient. Move slowly. Be gentle. Win the bird's trust by demonstrating you're not going to harm the bird. Never lash out or strike the bird. Always let them see what you're doing. They bite only out of fear or defense.

[@haydenTenno-]

I had a cockatiel named spike. Best bird I ever had and he was obsessed with me. He always wanted to be near me and I eventually got him to recognise my specific whistle while it was dark and even made his own short recognition chirp so he didn’t panic. Unfortunately he died about a month or two ago now. Fuck I miss that bird

[@kawabina]

[@deanna8217]

Mine comes out of the cage onto our hands and he'll sit there and even talk to us, but he won't let us pet him. He also suddenly will fly off and it takes awhile to get him back into the cage. He does speak actual words. He says "hello" and "pretty bird".

You will never regret getting a hand tamed one I absolutely adore my baby! Initially I didnt want one, since I had a couple as a child and they were very aggressive. Hand taming makes a HUGE difference. My little girl prefers hands and shoulders over anywhere else and demands attention and scritches all the time So cute

[@ytisfinggarbagenow8028]

When you get your cockatiel while it's still young, handfeeding it first and allowing them/it to roam free 24/7 helps a lot. It worked for the ones l had and still have.

[@blep3294]

My bird is a adult he lets us hold him but if you get to close he will bite not hard but like a warning bite he lets me pet him sometimes but not often I love him anyways ❤️

I got my cockatiel when she was 18 years old. She was afraid at first but she warmed up to me pretty fast. She is an old lady with a damaged wing but she seems happy. She likes to dance. She likes to come very close to my face. But she shies away from my hands. It's an old lady, so I'm not gonna put real pressure on her to hand-tame her. I'm glad she looks healthy, happy and curious.

[@nicoleerlo3159]

I found a cockatiel alone at a normal pet store when I was younger. She was fully grown, they didn’t know her age. She flew out of the cage right to me, and she’s been my little girl since. A few years go by and I decide I want to get her a friend so she isn’t alone when I can’t be with her. I found a breeder, and selected a baby cockatiel. He was so sweet at first, he was okay with scratches and everything else. I don’t know when it switched, but he has become so aggressive I have no idea what to do. He isn’t even nice to my sweet girl anymore. To me it seems like he gets so protective of her and then gets so angry he can’t contain himself. He hates hands, he will only step on my hand when I take him out of the cage. Sometimes he will see me petting my girl, and come over and put his head down, and then draw blood when I try to pet him. I’m really at a loss here..

[@FrostedUndead]

Maybe he's jealous??

[@nicoleerlo3159]

@@FrostedUndead that’s what I think too, but what do I do about it ya know?? I can’t even separate them because he freaks out.

[@amirbeer4852]

Since you got him as a child, maybe he sees her as a mother figure and trying to protect her?

[@tipsysonder4238]

This could be two things Sexual frustration or Jealousy I'll be willing to help you, it's not impossible.

[@alanylopez]

Something that can be a factor is pain, I know they’re complete different animals but with dogs when they’re unexplainably aggressive it’s probably because they’re in pain.

I had rescued a 2 year old cockatiel named buddy. The original owner didnt know that she had to spend time with him and give him lots of attention. All she did with him was give him food and water. Hes very scared of people. He will hiss and try to attack you. Ive gotten to the point where i can feed him from my hand but he will not do that with anyone else and he will hiss and try to attack other people in my household. He never really seems comfortable at all, although he is getting better and he will sing most of the day and screech to come out of his cage. I use sunflower seeds with him as that seems to win his heart he also loves millet. Hes never had a bath before (he never had the choice to as the owner used like a water bottle for his water.) so first i tried to mist him with a spray bottle, but he doesnt seem to like it. Ive given him a choice of bathing himself as he has a bowl of water in his cage i always put in fresh everyday. The lady said that hes also never had fruit & veg she stopped giving it to him as he wouldnt try it. Im trying to work on that at the moment. I really need some advice please 😅 sorry for the long comment.

Otherwise he hisses and bites and ive accepted thats just how he is, i can even tell him to "go to bed" and he put himself in his cage without me having to handle him. My other cockatiel lived till 24 and was extrenely tame i could snuggle with him. I think its okay to just meet them where they are at and if you cant handle thats ok

My boyfriend’s parents got 2 cockatiels (Gracie and gabby). Well a couple of weeks ago, their 4 year old grabbed Gabby and twisted her neck, she died a week later (they claimed to not have enough $ to take her to the vet but went on vacation). I spent that whole week with the both of them and comforted them. The survivor, Gracie, is now TERRIFIED of hands but every time I walk past she chirps loud as hell and scampers to the cage door. I feel so bad for her and plan on taking her into my care.

Patience and persistence. It's difficult to tame two birds at the same time, but not impossible. Try to focus on one at a time, once one of them is comfortable with you, the other will see that you're not dangerous. Try to offer a spray of millet, hold it in the corner of the cage twice a day for 5 minutes. It might take a while, but it's always possible
