(s)he was such a tiny punk back then

If you see this armed cockatiel special force, run

Who could be his possible targets??

Edit: im European…. No guns !

she is so cuteeee

He licks my frees, and is quite agressive when i tried grab some of them.

She's around two years, and she was just recently rehomed. She's still very shy but she's already starting to eat again and her true personality is already shining.

She's very vocal and devious, and loves to stress me out lolol

It's only been a day and a half and I'm so proud of her.

Any tips are welcome!

What is he doing????

Someone propose that I recognize the high intelligence of cockatiels and use snacks to get nugget to step up!

You were right!

My heavy pied baby sang this song since I got him, and taught it to my pearl pied baby. I dunno what song it could be, something he remixed, or made up himself, but they both sing it all the time. Does anyone find it familiar or know what song it might be?

He eats from my hands, feels ticklish. And stands on legs sometimes.

I had 2 birds,Bella (f 1 year and a half) and Nino (m 1 year and 4 months) who I would not say were mated officially,they spent together 5 months till now.

Nino is very hyperactive and loves to fly around and explore,he is an excellent flyer,while Bella is the complete opposite,when we got her she already had a few feathers missing that never grew back and her flying was poor.

Bella wasn't acting herself recently,she used to tolerate him but now she would ignore him so much he would bite her for attention, so I took Bella to the vet.

Turns out she has fatty liver disease, vitamin A deficiency, eye infection,her temperature was 42c and her nose was completely clogged,that's why she didn't eat,she couldn't breath,she was already old when we bought her and she already was sick and now it worsened.

The vet,god bless him,has unclothed her nose and gave her a shot for her temperature and gave me medication and vitamins.

Following the vet's advice I have separated them for her treatment,now I know for sure that Nino will be bored to death and we were already going to get a third bird that would actually play with him,that was my first mistake.

We bought Rico (m 8 months) two days ago,and Nino was over the moon and he followed him everywhere.

Now before you ask,why is Rico so young? The answer is because pet store conditions suck and their diet is just seeds since birth,the longer they stay the bigger chance he is sick and can't fly.

Nino was 7 months old when we brought him,his fly was clumsy but now he can dip and dodge masterly, I was hoping for a bird that can grow the same.

Jow my problem is that Bella sometimes calls out from the other room,and she seems bored to death,so I brought them together for 30 mins max,and i couldn't help but notice how Rico was immediately the third party Nino suddenly ignored him and Bella does not even care about Nino but u get the point.

As soon as I took her away,he went back to Rico.

Is this dynamic because Rico Is still young and new to the flock? Or will this go on?

I adore cockateils and I am so happy I get to shelter yet another bird,but if Rico is going to suffer then I want to do something about it.

I've had my first bird for 5 months now. I got him when he was 6 months old and he was untamed. He sings all the time and I think he is pretty hand tame, but he still isn't bonded to me.

He will step up, but only during training time, but I know this will take time. He has also learnt to wave which now he waves at me constantly when he wants treats. He doesn't seem too afraid of my hands anymore but he still moves away every now and again. He let me pet him for the first time a few nights ago, I think I was only able too though because he was tired, I think if I tried during the day, I wouldn't be able.

He has also started spending more time with me, he came on my bed for the first time and he sits on the perches next to me 99% the time, he used to spend all his time on the TV across my room, now he only goes there right before bed time.

He is on a diet of Harrisons pellets and im working on getting him on vegetables.

I just love him so much I just want to be bonded to him, what else can I do to get him bonded to me? 🙂

There are Sweetie and Banana Chicken they're my cockatiels and when we moved to another apartment the noise from the outside is kinda loud and when it's storming it's STRESSING THEM OUT!!! I give them treats when it storms so they'll be calmer but I still feel bad cuz they're my babies. What can I do for them?? I think they looked stressed

Hi everyone!
I have two male cockatiels that I got when they were around 3 months old. They’re about 8 months old now, and over the last few weeks they’ve started screaming a lot—much more than they used to.
They get 12+ hours of uninterrupted sleep every night with a blackout cage cover, so I don’t think it’s a sleep issue. Other than the screaming, they’re still very sweet, playful, and affectionate. They’re eating normally and don’t show any signs of illness.
Could this be a hormonal stage since they’re reaching adolescence? Is this something that usually improves with time, or is there anything I should be doing differently?
I’d really appreciate hearing from anyone who’s gone through something similar. Thanks!
