And a Normal Grey Cockatiel named BB who came home with me on 5/20/2016.
...it seems like BB has set up a normal morning routine for himself.

He is usually quiet,untill I turn the stereo on. It takes him a few minutes to "warm up" and he begins his routine. He is very vocal at this time,where I bet he spends a good thirty minutes in "song" :rolleyes: twittles and whistles.

A lot of his vocalizing is 'tiel :grey: gibberish. A combination of his own whistles,chirps and learned stuff. He throws in a bunch of wolf whistles,and every morning his attempt at Andy Griffith gets clearer and longer. He makes these sounds quite loudly < to him I bet lol> and his sounds are really sweet to me,and Amy too I think,coz this is also the time she starts to vocalize also :green:.

As I am typing this,he is in his house just going on and on. I am hearing things now that I am sure he has made up,a series of chirps and whistles,and Amy is right there,in her own house,as back-up singer lol.

I GOTTA get a vid of this stuff. If a non parront read this,they'd think I was off my rocker lmao ;)

edit: WOW!! he has been at it for going on an hour now and hasn't stopped for a breath!! And its all KINDS of sounds this little guy is making. This is fantastic,I have never heard so much cockatiel sweetness in my life!

A video is a must Jim for all of us so we can hear the concert too...I bet the backup singer harmonizes well too with the little showman BB. He is a real character .. dont forget that video Jim I will be very much looking forward to seeing it :)

Two Cockatiels: Rascal (Geraldine) and his baby brother named Coconut!
I would LOVE to see/hear a video :D

I can't wait until Coconut starts vocalizing more... it will be fun to see if he starts singing with Rascal... Rascal is as quiet as a mouse though LOL...

I will certainly try! But as soon as he see's the camera..he clams up,and gives me "the eyeball" lol :grey: :rolleyes:

How is 'Nut doing?? I hope you are still taking him to his doc Thursday :eek: just to be on the safe side! " a pound of this is better than an ounce of that"

Jim, I'm a teeny bit jealous. My Sweet Pea is the quietest creature in our house, I can't complain though, she's also one of the sweetest. I would love to hear Baby Bird's voice if you can capture it on video.

Ah, I miss the sweet sounds of a cockatiel. Nothing gets across that feeling of being happy to see you like the excited chatter and whistling of a cockatiel when you first get home!

And their ability to pick up tunes and whistle them back is phenomenal!
