I took in a 24 year old cockatiel about 5 months ago; I’m his fourth home and the last family he was with had him for about 15 years. When I got him he hadn’t been out of his cage in the last two years so he was pretty antisocial and territorial. But just in the last three weeks or so he’s really turned around and spends a few hours on my shoulder a night now! He’s like a whole new bird and every day he gets a little more comfortable with me! He loves playing with my necklaces and he even let me scritch his head once! His name is Earl and I love him so much!

[@PlaceholderDoe123]

The fact that he’s so open to change is wonderful. Mine are 23 and one is in poor health and the other is okay but they’re typical cranky senior citizens. Your 24 year old gives me hope that they’ll stay around even longer. Best old man days to him! Thank you for caring for him.

[@Zarmdthecoolest]

I love that you're able to make them happier around humans. My family adopted some cockatiels when I was young. They'd been raised by an abusive household (don't know how so, but they hated humans). One, Boots, tended towards flight. The other, Missy, chose to fight. Boots died too early for me to remember him well. It involved seizures or something. Missy lived until I was 9 or 10. I remember sitting outside with her for as long as my young ADHD child brain could handle. I remember giving her tiny pancakes whenever we had sleepovers. I remember loving her, and I hope from the bottom of my heart that we made those scared, lonely birds as happy as they could've been with us. I have another cockatiel now named Mittens. I adopted him from a family that couldn't raise him anymore. He lights up my heart with joy, and I think he feels the same about me. As I'm writing this, he's preening himself on my knee. I hope I'm treating him the opposite of how Missy and Boots were treated.

I never liked clipping bird wings either, my family did it to our old birds but one could still fly even with clipped wings which I've never seen before

[@sunflowersuccs]

Thats so sad :(

[@toysruskid5074]

Went to a pet store where only 1 bird was kept clipped. He was a rescue and he had a special habitat behind the counter and they said they clipped his wings for 2 main reasons. He was as beautiful and had as lovely a singing voice as he was viscious. He had attacked customers, birds, and pets people brought in including dogs, cats, and ferrets. And he was a notorious thief. He would steal anything that made interesting noises. Including car keys, squeaky toys, and once the bell collar right off a cat.

[@toysruskid5074]

I don't know what breed he was, but he was a bright yellow with some white and he was quite large. Over a foot from head to claw. He had an on again off again GF (another rescue who couldn't fly well due to a not quite right wing.) He wanted nothing to do with the few offspring he produced - even when they were brought to visit their mom by their owners, but she was a sweetheart who would loved to be petted but.... sadly sang terribly and rambled about coconuts.

[@dragonfly9821]

@@toysruskid5074 So instead of working on him, they decided to disable him? And bred him too? Not cute at all...

[@toysruskid5074]

@@dragonfly9821 I drove by the pet store the other day, but it was a lawnmower store. I guess the pandemic closed it? Maybe it closed before then.... I really can't tell you if they made any progress on his behavior, but I can tell you that while the female bird didn't fly well, she could fly well enough to choose when she wanted to visit him and was free to explore the store at night. I doubt they ever intentionally "bred" him. He didn't seem like the cooperative type.

My budgie escaped her carrier when she was outside. She has paralyzed feet, neurological issues, and she's albino. Luckily, she is outdoor recall trained so when I found her 9 blocks away, (2 hours later) she came when called with no treat or lewers required! Even thought she's not bonded to me. She IS hand tame but bonded to my dog, not me or my other budgies or cockateil. ( it's a long story) basically once she lost the strength in her feet the other birds started to pick on her she when to my dog (trained to protect the birds from my 5 cats) she preens him, and regurgitates food to him.

I got a parakeet when I was younger, huge cage, and he was cool but he wasn’t very friendly so being young I lost interest. To keep him happy I got a second parakeet and they were besties. They free fly around my room all day and seem very happy. They are aboit 6 now, sadly the first passed away, I can only asume old age. They eat only seeds which sucks but I add pellets to it to try to get him to eat them, and I have lots of toys for him. I wanted to tell you that your bird content actually really helped me with his care. I started using pellets because of you, and I’ll get some natural perches too. Sadly I don’t think he can be tamed down at this point but it’s ok. Maybe I’ll get him a new friend so he won’t be to lonely( an older rescue) Thank you❤️

[@dragonspirit996]

I'm personally someone who went from being in the clipping camp to the no clipping camp. For me the main thing that convinced is my cockatiel Corrin. He was clipped when we got him so we kept getting it done for the first.... maybe year? But he kept constantly breaking blood feathers because they would grow in without protection and when he startled himself he would try to fly, slamming his wings into things a lot. We decided for him own safety to let him grow his wings out and I think it was the best decision we made. It took him a while to learn how to fly and still isn't comfortable with it all the time (I think his wings were clipped before he learned how to), but even though he still freaks out and flies occasionally it is much safer and more controlled, with him running into things much more rarely and he hasn't broken a blood feather in a couple years now. He likes to fly to me while I'm gaming on my computer and perch on my arm, it's adorable.

[@Inksanity]

Imagine 'euthanizing' an animal without any consent from anyone whatsoever. That bird didn't just "pass away", they were murdered. The break in the wing is too severe to be fixed through surgery? Okay. Amputate it. Tell me when amputation ceased to be an option. When did amputation go so far out the window that you couldn't even contact anyone to ask if they were willing to take the risk.

I love these! I grew up with cockatiels and I really miss them. But right now I have an extremely possessive parrotlet who demands all of my attention, and I love her. These are so cute! Regarding flying, my baby flies around the house, and I swear, that moment when your birb flies to you is just such a magical and joyful moment. In addition to recall training like you mention, there are harnesses you can get for your bird. My parrotlet doesn't tolerate it, but I think it's because she's not a baby anymore and I sort of missed the ideal training age. Leathers 4 Feathers is where I got her harness, and I will probably do that again for any future birds I adopt.

[@mzfitmama2361]

So i know this doesn’t have to do with this description but I recently adopted two rescue cocktails. Both were rehomed with me that were originally together. Male and female they both do not like the chop i have tried to make for them. I have tried four different recipes and different you tubers ideas. They still refuse to eat the chop. Was told they ate 50% chop and other half pellet. They have free roam, they have clean big cage, water different enrichments, treats, diet options but they won’t eat the chop. I don’t know how to help them eat the chop. It’s been two weeks now. The vet says they are healthy but I really just want to ensure they eat the chop 😢

[@juliaa9293]

Try feeding the vegetables in their whole form, if they like destroying their toys then they will enjoy breaking apart a carrot or broccoli, or lettuce. It also helps if you eat the vegetable with them to show them it's edible.

[@Velociiraptor]

Maybe try to mix something they like with the food you want them to eat and every day add less of the food they like until it’s just the food you want them to eat.

[@horsegranola]

on the topic of wing clipping, some vets will just do it by default on any bird. I went to rehab for a month and when I came home, I was horrified to see that one of my young hens' wings had been clipped during a routine vet appointment. I was furious. Chickens aren't even capable of full flight to begin with! And yet, it's so normalized to clip birds' wings that the vet tech did it to her anyway. It took her almost a year to molt the clipped primaries and grow new ones in :(

[@horsegranola]

@Enyx Ilias What’s even worse was this little lady was living indoors indefinitely at the time for medical treatment. Literally ZERO reason to clip her wings. She was only taken to vet to get her nails trimmed because I wasn’t there to do it myself. Anyway, Miss Annie is now completely healthy and currently living her best life out with the rest of my flock :)

[@PurpleGermanShepherd13]

It's a shame that the lost cockatiel ended up dying, but at least his family know what happened to him so they can properly grieve. Also it is kinda weird to see comments like "my pet died today 😭" on happy/funny pet videos. As for comments about pet deaths on videos where someone talks about their pet passing away, I think they can be okay as long as it is written in a respectful way. Like obviously don't elaborate on the details of your pet's demise, but there's nothing wrong with sharing that you have lost a pet too, and that you can understand and empathize with whoever made the video. Everyone experiences loss and grief differently, and we should try to be considerate when commenting about this subject.

I had a disabled cockatiel that had seizures and so her wings did have to be clipped as if she had a seizure from a height then the fall could kill her. She was my best friend for 8 years. She wasn't even expected to live to see her first hatchday but she was a little fighter.

[@jase123111]

Wing clipping should be banned. It means birds can get serious injuries from falling, get stepped on, have no means of escape from danger. They also get frustrated and stressed from having a basic natural behaviour taken away from them. They also can't get enough exercise and have a higher chance of becoming obese and suffering from heart problems and fatty tumors. PLEASE, birds are NOT toys, treat them with respect and DO NOT CLIP their wings. It's basically crippling them... it's not healthy for them, and it's not natural. If you don't want a pet that can fly DON'T get a bird!!!!

It is so difficult to give parrots proper care in my country, especially since they only really sell cotton rope toys and dowel perches and the fact that I life on a farm that's far from a town, but I will try. And yes, I have been researching for years now, and I won't be stopping any time soon. I will not fail this bird like I have my past cockatiel.

[@elisetheris1718]

I owned a small flock of cockatiels. I bred and hand raised the babies. they had a whole room for free flight but I did have to trim the wings from just1 male. He would get extra territorial when nesting and try to chase the other birds from half of their room. His wings were lightly trimmed so flying was more difficult, he still could get back up to his nest on a shelf, but the extra effort required had him dialing it back so he only protected the shelf itself and the other birds were no longer harassed. Other than that everyone else was fine. He was just extra. We only trimmed the 1st 3 primaries so he still had a lot of lift with the rest of his wing. 3 primaries was the result of several escalating attempts.

[@nikitatavernitilitvynova]

You haven't witnessed the erratic behaviour of my aunt's cockatiel. He talks back. He picked up on his owner telling their dog (he passed away a few years ago) to go eat. And he would stress the dog and tell him to go eat. He learnt how to say something similar to "what's up!" (he's an Italian speaking bird) and often tells this to strangers or once to my aunt. And it also sounds pretty aggressive. Like he's pissed off or something. If you either leave him alone or leave him alone with a stranger he starts to scream like crazy. I remember eating lunch at my aunt's and she would get up to grab something and he would scream anxious she was leaving. Mind you she was in the same room. He did grow up though with music. And loves to listen to it to calm himself down. If either leaves for a long time they leave some music for him to relax to. There's even a song he likes to bop his head and dance. Also he has learnt to imitate different sounds. Like his owner's drinking. Or I remember my aunt cracking an egg and him hitting his beek on the cage to imitate the sound. Btw I have a recoding of him saying his name and calling his owner repeatedly. It's very funny. Most of the time he speaks gibberish. Almost as if he was to complain or be mad. But he was taught to say his name and how are you doing as a greet. Except he lost the verb "I am" and never says this. Or barely

[@Snow-sx5ev]

I know this will be an unpopular comment and may spark some discussion but I think wing clipping is far more nuanced than most of the conversation surrounding it. I have two unclipped cockatiels so I don't personally clip my birds. From my conversations with breeders and vets, if a bird is clipped properly they should still be able to manage short flights but may struggle gaining much height. If a bird is completely incapable of flight or is falling they have been over clipped. I also see multiple comments comparing wing clipping to cutting someone's legs off and just... No? Clipping a birds wings does not cause pain to the bird. It does not permanently cripple the bird like cutting a leg off would a person or other animal would. It does distress the bird so does clipping their nails. Mine hate their nails getting clipped and scream bloody murder until they are unwrapped because they're babies. Just because I don't want to write an essay basically just to moving on to reasons to clip a bird, the number one reason is for their safety. Birds when frightened can gain a lot of speed. Enough speed that if they run into a flat surface such as a wall or window it can kill them. Sometimes when introducing a bird to a new home having them fully flighted is dangerous. I've heard of multiple owners bringing their new bird home and them panicking out of the cage and getting injured or dying. My partners cockatiel was almost clipped after a few months of him being home because of him crash landing. My partner also has a fully flighted conure that was clipped before purchase. The conure has completely regained her flight and is a strong healthy flyer despite being clipped young. I used to be across the board against clipping and I do not personally agree with constantly keeping a bird clipped but it does have a use. Demonizing anyone who clips their bird can shut the conversation of pet safety down.

I wish I could get mine to whistle songs I've even done super simple ones but he just has a very bad since of tune like he will try to copy it but can't really get it right lol.

So did she record this whole video with bird doo running down her back?

[@Jellyoscar]

But isn’t the poop SOO warm when it comes out right from a cockatiel😢 my clothes rest in piece😂

[@BeetleDragon]

Yeah, wing clipping should not be as normalized as it is, outside of actual medical reasons there is no really good reason to clip a birds wings

My second most viewed video is me cremating my Parakeet Green who passed away. I don't know why that is the top, but it is. The comments are all about animals passing away, and how they are thankful for the information about how to do it. I expect that for the video.

I want a cockatiel and I'm doing as much research as I can to get one and properly care for her but there are no breeders near me and I don't want to go to a pet store 😭

[@mansishah6579]

Totally agree with the sentiment at 5:37 ish. Most of the time whenever I tell people that I have parakeets (I would say budgie, but nobody understands me when I do cus I live in the US), ppl respond with “oh ya! I used to have (a) parakeet when I was very young!” And then go into gruesome detail about how their bird died. Honestly, I find it kinda offensive. Like, I don’t wanna hear about your birds death?? Especially since most people tell me this excitedly and eagerly, as if they didn’t even really care about their bird or it’s death. It just feels so inappropriate.

There is one good reason to clip birds wings: for flock birds that are kept outside, if you sell an adult bird to someone and don't clip the wings they will try to just fly back home. For birds like ducks, I've seen people clip one wing only in that case so that the ducks can still be allowed outside immediately after buying them. Yes, you could argue that you could just keep them caged until they recognize/ accept it as their new home but then part of your flock would need to stay with them too. In that case I think it is better for the birds to clip one wing and allow freedom plus then they get introduced to the new birds in a more natural way. vs only interacting through a barrier. They only clip one wing so the birds can still get away from predators if needed, and once the clipped wing grows back you don't need to clip it again. Oh and this only applies to the duck breeds that are still capable of full flight. For fatter breeds that can only fly for short periods it isn't needed since they can't realistically fly home anyway.

I'd like a bird in theory, but I know me and I know I wouldn't be able to give the bird the kind of attention it would need. My lifestyle is suited for a pair of old cats who want to spend most of their days napping on window sills. :P

I lost my bird that is a cockatiel, it looks like the one on her headphones which is at 3:07. This made my day. Also looks like the person that found a bird on the road Which is at 3:21

[@Rxnnieisntreal]

Usually when I get a bird, their wings are preclipped yk? I didn’t realize it was bad to clip their wings, I usually just do until they get used to me in case they like go on a high shelf and I can’t get them(it’s happened) and I don’t wanna stress them out too much by getting them down(when I got my bird Rio down he was panting really bad)

[@pencilpauli9442]

No clippy-clip the flighties. Not nice!

[@petenicholson8824]
