I bought a 25 day old cockatiel a week ago....the shop keeper told me to handfeed the formula....but the chick never accepts the formula....it keeping pushing back ...so i have to force it to eat the formula....the bird is not afraid of me or my hand....it plays with me all the time...but when i start to feed then it runs away from me ..
I just got 2 cockatiels a few days before Christmas, i tried hand feeding multiple times but they keep moving away. One even hisses at me. Anyone know what approach i should take?
try staying next to it. Then it will be used to you being there next to it. and go very slowly put ur hand on a perch kind of near the cockatiel. This will let it be used to ur finger then grab a snack like millet then try feeding it.
You need to take a step Back. They are clearly afraid of your hands. You need to sit by the cage daily so they get used to your presence, then you can keep your hand at the bottom of the cage and gradually move it closer to them. During this time you can try to hand feed
@@ariz4888stop advising her/ him to teach the birds to step up. The birds are literally moving away and hissing. They clearly aren't comfortable with hands yet
Judging off how you got them as a gift. You prob don't have the right cage or proper care. You need to be worrying about getting them good care or give them away to someone who can on Craigslist...
Im a new owner and just got a cockatiel and its untamed, if i let it out the cage without being tamed is it alright? im worried it wouldn’t be able to go back to the cage because its scared of me.
I am a new owner too. When I got my first cockatiel a month ago as a birthday present, I kept him in the cage for two weeks. I didn't try to put my hand in or near the cage because even seeing me was terrifying to him. I waited for him to adjust the new environment for two weeks and then I let him out. After a few days we started taking progress. At first he stepped up on a perch instead of my hand. And it was easy for me to put him in the cage because he knows that is his safe place where he can relax and just be comfortable. Now we are slowly building a relationship. He is more easy to step up on my finger. He eats millet and vegetables from my hand, preens and take naps on my knee/hand. Just be patient and don't force your bird. I promise you will see a progress. I hope this helps to you and your little feathered friend.
@@shizuka557Hey there. I got a pair 2 days ago. Both are around 1 year old. Not hand raised and had rough handling by breeders (stuffed in a small cage with loads of other birds). They stood still for the entire first day. Then the male started chirping and screaming from day 2. They both run away from my hands and the female even hisses. They also get quite restless due to boredom most likely, especially the male one and he keeps climbing all around the cage with his beak and screams. Hence I think I should be letting them out of the cage. Or do I wait more?
@@unrealbot3027 Hello! I wouldn't do that if I were you 🙁 Just be patient and give them time to adjust the new environment. Do not put your hand inside the cage except for changing their food and water. You say people had roughly handled them, that means they already have a bad opinion on people including you 🫤 But mine was also rough handled and it has been almost three months since I got him, he comes to me only when I got food on my hand 😄 After two weeks of speaking, singing, whistling to him from a distance, I let him out and luckily he stepped up to a perch. Yours might not do that the first time. If they fly away do not go after them immediately. Wait for the bird to calm down for a minute. Because if the bird is afraid it wouldn't try to make an interaction with you. Another reason why you should wait before you let them out is we want them to love their cage and voluntarily return to it when the time comes or we take them to the cage. That's why you shouldn't put your hand in the cage unnecessarily. I know it is sad to watch them getting bored and trying to get out of the cage but it's for their own good. I also think that you're lucky that you have two birds. That means if one of them eats from your hand, the other one might think that it is safe to come close to you and eat from you. I hope they get used to you 🌸 And sorry if I made any mistakes, English is not my first language 😅
i got a male cockatiel yesterday hes already been tamed but hes been on my finger a few times and hes let me pet his head but sometimes he still trys to bite me when i put my finger out i need to know how to make him trust me
It's been a 3 days my female cockatiel still try to bite me so when i should start taming her i follow all steps u told everyday cleaning water and food even i clean water after every 4 hours
New cockatiel owner over here… have an 8th month on pair from petco- untamed. Does anyone have some Ideas on what I can do to get them comfortable and bond with me?
My Fren Fred the Lutino Cockatiel love 🚿 showers in the 🛁 bathtub along with sister Ethel and Fred would be a eagle 🦅 when I asked him to be one. 😔 It's been over two years since Fred died after over 20 years of being my fren 😭😭🙏
I keep on trying to tame a cockatiel I own and it keeps on lunging and bitting at me really hard and doesn’t go near me I owned him for 7 months and nothing worked
People who loves bird please don't buy any bird they are made to fly not to be tamed by us. Until and unless you found any bird on road injured pls don't buy from any shop or any bird rescue organisation like peta(they are fraud). I am saying this on my personal experience.
It’s been a month since I got my cocktail and I tried everything but Coco is still scared of me and panicked every time I come close to him😢 Any tips ?
I ❤ cockatiels so much
My dad caught one in our nearby garden, we didn't use any catching materials except wiggle my index on him and he just hopped on my dads wrist
I love cockatiels!

Hey any updates on this?
The pair I bought behaves the exact same way. Both move away from hand and the female (probably?) hisses and tries to peck.

I don’t know what my birds like as a treat he doesn’t like millet I had him for 8 days
I bought 2 cocktails 6 months ages and they are with me 2 months I try everything to let them trust me but they don’t
Can you help
cockatiels won’t bond to their owner when theres 2 of them.
How would I know their age when I buy them from a pet shop ? Like is there any sign as the shopkeeper could be lying to me
