cockatiel

Hey everyone! I have a five-month-old male cockatiel, Bowie. We've been doing pretty well so far. When I put my palm in his cage he rushes to get on it, and he likes climbing on me or just sitting on my hand with one of his feet in the air. However, while he has no problem with my palm pressing...

Hello everyone. I've just bought a young gray cockatiel 9 wks old not hand reared last week. I've looked online on how best to hand tame him but there's to many videos etc which show you how to get them to step up and I'm no where near that yet lol. I've been sitting close to his (I hope ) cage...

So before people tell me that it's dangerous, I know that you shouldn't paint your nails around birds. I know that NOW...didn't think about it while I was painting them. Anyway, my Cockatiel is 7 months old and decided that while he was hanging out on my shoulder he was going to jump down and...

Hello everyone! I recently joined this forum as I seek what I feel is urgent- I need help figuring something out. My school has a Veterinary Pathway. We have a Vet Lab, which is dedicated to multiple incredibly healthy animals- except, not all of them are healthy. We have a pair of cockatiels...

Hi! I've had Hohenheim for about a month now. He lets me hold him but he runs right for my shoulder or the top of my couch where his favorite stuffed animal is at. He's not very playful and he doesn't move around a lot in the day...he's also very grumpy for most of the day and sometimes bites my...

Heya everybody! Wanted to updated you guys that hohenheim is just fine :) thankfully. He's been very happy, whistling to me if I try to leave the room, inching toward me to his cage and eats millet from my hand now! I was wondering if I could have a few tips for taming him? I'm slowing trying to...

Hey guys! I adopted hohenheim 2 days ago and everything was going so wonderful! He's been chirping at me and my hubby and I played music for him and he started dancing. I think I'm getting a bit too attached, yesterday I fell asleep next to his cage in a chair instead of next to my hubby haha...

Hello, my name is Erica and I got my first bird last month, a female pearl cockatiel named Atlas. After years of research I finally found me a cockatiel to call my own. My pet shop changed owners and in the new location I found her with her mate. Originally, the pet shop wasn’t selling her...

Do you think he will like it??? I don't have a calcium block or cuttlebone just yet but I will be buying it once I adopt him! I'm thinking about naming him hohenheim! Such a noble name hahaha.

Hi! This is a cockatiel at the pet shop that was rescued and he is a total sweetheart. I'll be adopting him by the end of the ! I'm sure he's just trying to be friendly...but I'm also not sure. What do you think he's doing? Pic attached❤ :yellow1:

I am the proud owner of two beautiful birds, a male Cockatiel named Onni (after the Japanese mythology creature) and a male baby Umbrella Cockatoo Mamés Dango (yes I like the Japanese theme thing). Onni is about 2 years old, he keeps to himself, doesn’t act at all like other cockatiels I know...

I would love to hear some advice as I will be adopting a cockatiel by the end of June most probably! Anything at all helps! :D :yellow1: :yellow1: :yellow1:

Hi everyone, NOTE: If you vote in the poll, please explain your vote! (Message or comment is fine) So for about a year now, I've been stricken with a love for parrots. It started with Cockatiels, and has, more recently, spread to Conures, Caiques and Indian Ringnecks. But before I get to the...

I'm thinking about adopting a blind cockatiel- it had been surrendered with 4 others a few months ago, and is the only one that been there for the longest time. One problem. I cant find anywhere that gives tips to owning a blind bird. If anyone can give me suggestions, facts, tips, etc that...

I have a cockatiel (Aing) and he hisses or tries to strike me when i get close to his cage, i want to bond or interact with him. i have no knowledge on taming a bird and i can use some help.:confused:

Hello everyone! New member here. How do I get my cockatiels' trust? I got them 2 weeks ago (I just realized lol) and they still don't trust me. They don't get out of their cage even if I leave the door open and move away to make them feel safe. The male (Tiel) eats from my hand (only treats) ...

Finally managed to get a decent picture of my munchkin Kiwi! �� 10 weeks old and I’m already looking forward to the years with her! Training is pretty much all completed now, I’m so happy with how quickly she has learnt! Everyday she is getting better and better, after my post the other day...
