Cockatiels are so cute with their red cheeks making them look like they blush
Fey Merritt That's actually where their ears are! 😮
The orange ear coverts (to use the proper description) is what natural, wild cockatiels have. However aviculture has a cockatiel breed called "whiteface" which is where the ears are either white or pale grey. Both of my girls are whiteface. My 3 year old is a whiteface pearl pied (that's THREE breeds in one bird) and my 13 year old is a whiteface lutino (better known as an albino). Regular lutino cockatiels have those orange ear coverts and a mix of pale yellow and ivory head, crest, and body. "lutino" is what you call a predominately yellow bird in a species where that is not the natural colour.
And yes, they are beautiful! Doesn't matter what breed. :)
yeah its very cute! my cockatiel has orangeish cheeks and she is so cute!
yaaa
Lol

Cockatiels, the cinnamon rolls of the parrots.
Mantis i love cinnamon rolls looks like i love Cockatiels
There is actually a coloration called a cinnamon cockatiel
He's so calm...
Burak Bağdatlı Steve the bird was a good bird for the video
Oh, the dander. The bird speciality store I go to has a macaw that is kept away from the other birds because it's allergic/sensative to the cockatiels.

I'm a newbie watching this channel and your videos make me so happy. The genuine enthusiasm and warmth is lovely, as is learning about the animals - as species and as individuals! Thanks for sharing your passion and introducing us to all these wonderful animals!
I love my tiel! She is full of personality and is so loving , couldn't have a better match for a bird for me!
Fire Lioness how’s she doing? 😊😊
When I clicked, I was hoping to learn more about wild cockatiels, but I'm thrilled that a channel exists to fill this niche. I hope more and more people visit this channel to learn how to care for animals they're considering.
Steve what's your favorite treat? Asking for a friend.

Steve says, "Millet! Give me all the millet!"
I say, "You can have some millet once you finish your dinner, Steve."
I was seriously just about to ask this question ^_^
AnimalWonders Montana Thanks for the tips Animal Wonders

the cockatiel look like they have a blush put on their cheek
exactly
Thank you! I was actually thinking of getting one of these recently. At first I wanted a conure, but I wanted to rescue a bird more. There were no rescuable conures in my area, but there are quite a few of these that it seems their owners can no longer care for. And whatever the bird, I'm sure I'll love it. This video helped a lot. Thank you again.
Yay! Cockatiels are amazing. Other parrot species are cool but I've never received so much unconditional love from any other animal than I get from Totoro. Looking at your cage set up and it looks perfect. I would say, to any other cockatiel owners or potential owners out there, it depends on the cockatiel what perches you use. I started only putting different sizes and types of natural wood perches in Totoro's cage because she was chewing the rope ones up too much and I was worried she might be ingesting the fibers (and the shredded bits were too much of a claw snag hazard to risk it). I still let her have them on her tree perches outside of the cage because I can supervise her but in her cage no non-natural toys allowed because unsupervised she can get up to trouble ha ha. I did so much research before getting her (Cockatiel cottage is a great place to start if anyone is looking into a pet cockatiel, I refer to it a lot when I am not sure of something) and I still find myself having to look things up now and then. She can be a pain in the butt when she's hormonal and she's the biggest scaredy cat I know but even with her knack for testing my patience I absolutely cannot fathom life without her. I love her just about as much as a mother could love their own child. They are A LOT of work (people tend to think of them as "easy" parrots but they're not) but the work is SO SO SO worth it if you're willing to put it in. Every bird will be different because they have their own personalities but mine turned out to be the cuddliest, sweetest, most loving animal I've ever had in my life. :D
That’s really cute! My little ‘tiel Mickey (I named him after my grandpa who passed away in August 2018 ) loves it when he gets his head scratched sometimes he makes little peeps and squeals when he gets scratched similar to a cat purring and chirps this cute little tune which sounds like he’s going “ Hercules Hercules Hercules” I love him dearly he is now a year old and I got him in December 2018 when he was 3 months old
Our cockatiel, now nearly two years old, fits the description in your last sentence.
Awwww, my lil cockatiel Roxy got confused and raised her head when she heard the screams😍😍😍
I love her so much!
These videos are always full of so much great info :-)
Me: buys my cockatiel a ton of fun bird toys and puts them all over his cage
My cockatiel: lol, no
Love this series of videos! Really like her energy and positivity.
my first bird was a 10 year old rehome cockatiel. we were told by the previous owner that he had been wild caught in Australia when he was young and then brought to Michigan for the pet trade, hence the reason why he had no band on his ankle. also explained his behavior of not liking to be handled and just liked to perch on our shoulder or heads instead to ride around the house. he was a sweet little boy and I loved him dearly. he passed away unexpectedly 5 years later while we were out of the house running errands. we think it may have been a heart issue because he was getting older. I love all bird's, but cockatiels are still my favorite because of the happy memories I have, and I love their squeeky cute whistle voices 💕
Don't feed em' avocado!
I feed mine other cockatiels.
Cherry Pauper ...
Cherry Pauper only the strong can survive
so cockatiels dont like avocado? o.o?
drakke125Channel no it is bad for them, there stomach can't handle them
Thanks Jessie! Quick but helpful😊
Best channel, I wish you was a show on animal planet back in 2009 when I was in elementary and middle school
I am taking,higher quality notes on these amazing birds,I am hoping,to get one so thank you so much for giving so much great info
Love these birds thanks animal wonders.
I love these What Where How videos!
I had a cocktail for 24 years. He was amazing, and we all miss him. Now I am waiting for a baby to be fully weaned, a pearl coloration without the orange cheek that my first one had. Cockatiels are friendly and fun to have around. And they have distinct, lovely personalities. My favorite pet of all times! :-)
I am also waiting for my pearl baby!!💛
Finally I've been waiting for this thank you so much!
Can you plz make more vids about cockatiel
Do you perhaps have a video of a tour of the place? Im kinda curious to see how you keep all the animals.
Also awesome channel, i really enjoy watching!
Great info and i love your enthusiasm 😊🕊
I love this! It would be a good series to do a What Where How for lots of different pets :) I really appreciated the description in the Latin name. Was very interesting and fun to listen to! Keep it up :)
Wow I learnt soo much! Thank you
I love this channel. It`s awesome and helpful, and it`s the only place where you can learn stuff from a high elf beast master.
A australian bird on australia day ;D i love cockatiels
I love the cute sounds he makes.
We had a pair of cockatiels when I was growing up. Such interesting creatures.
Always wanted a cockatiel maybe one day😍❤
THANKYOU SOOOOO MUCH FOR THIS VIDEO!!!! I'm planning on getting 2 cockatiels and this really helped me out with some things i was hazy about. :)
My cockatiel, Nickie, died a few years ago... She was my all time favorite pet... I miss her so much!
I love y'alls opening.
Lol love the channel. Been a bird lover since I was little. Have had budgies and cockatiels. Mostly cockatiels. 4 of them. Mine I have now is 7 years old and id about how long I've had him. His name is mango and it's funny I've bad horrible me asthma since I was littke and the birds used to bother me a bit. But I loved then so much. There so sweet and cuddly. And easy to train. I couldn't help but always having one. Eventually my ashram symptoms towards all birds stopped. Birss are my passion and I'll never not love them
Very informative video!
i like this style of video you make the best
I might get one cockatiel vary soon! I love then so much
Hi Jessi!
Could you make a video giving a tour of Animal Wonders showing all the animals you have and why/where you keep each one? Im really interested in a general overview of what a normal day is like for you and if you check on every animal, what care you give daily etc.
Cockatiels are soooooo cute!!! A long time ago, my parents had 2 cockatiels. They took good care of them, and being that they were opposite genders, they ended up breeding and producing 3 baby tiels!
My dad and I decided that we wanted to get birds again. Instead of getting cockatiels, though, we decided to step up one notch and get green cheek conures, which have made very good pets so far.
Yes cockatiels r very adorable! I will probably be getting another soon! ^•^ Good luck with ur new conures! :D
They are not so new anymore... I've had them for 5 months now! But thanks, they have been a lot of fun!
I have everything set up for my rescue special needs tiel. I can't wait!
danders no problem when you bring them into the shower :)
Unless you have asthma or other respiratory issues. The only bird that is well suited for people with severe respiratory issues would be a toucan but because of their highly specialized diet and other needs they generally should be avoided to have as a pet unless the owner is knowledgeable, understand bird behavior, and can provide all their needs.
you're not supposed to take them in the shower, the water droplets come to hard and fast for the little guys to handle, instead there are spray bottles specifically for cleaning birds, or you could always fill up the sink with about an inch of water and make it a bird bath
Vi Shepard when i take mine into the shower i have him sit on the side and i just splash water on him
I took mine into natural rain during summer time and she loved it.
hes sooooooooooooooo cute
all thoes little voices he make
awwwwwwwww
That is the cutest thing. When Steve hears her say "Cacatuidae" he goes "BWEET!" like "Yup! That's me! I'm a little cockatoo"
Cockatiels are so cute! I’m getting one in 2 days
The way Jessi's ear pokes out from her hair makes her look like a fantasy elf.
I love animals and I love dogs the most!
Love your jumper
I have a cockatiel myself name Griffin
Ur video helped me so much thank you
My cockatiel cage has 3/4" wide spacing. I've never had any issues with it and matter of fact that cage (from King's Cages) is the best one I've ever had in 37 years of aviculture. My cage is 48" wide, nearly 6 feet tall, and 32" deep. My 3 year old loves to fly across it. 1" bar spacing is too wide. But 3/4" is perfect actually. Model number is ELTPC. I bought mine in 2005 and LOVE IT -12 years old and it can easily last another 10 years. Kings Cages now has a 5/8" wide bar spacing too that was not available when I bought mine.
I just rescued one of these guys today he's 11 and just awesome
I had to rewatch the video more than once because Steve is so friggin adorable
Great info, thank you Jessi!
Steve was such a sweety.
Do you think you could make an episode on parrotlets?
I think I remember seeing a Forpus in one of your older videos and they are my favorites.
Cockatiels are so CUTEEE!
Yay!!
I have a Cockatiel and I really love her she is my best friend.
I shared this video with my two cockatiels, Zephyr and Mizzel. They both highly approved of it. 😉
I was wondering if you could do a show with suggestions towards people with allergies and asthma. It might help give people ideas on what might and might not be a good idea. Thanks for the great videos!
Love that shirt!!
Hi Jessi! First of all, I wanted to say huge thanks for not only making wonderful videos, but also motivating and teaching me to take better care of my cockatiel. He's been living with me for many years, but he was extremely scared of people when I got him and I never managed to establish a trustful relationship with him, so after a few years I just gave up and accepted that he was wild. But I've been watching a lot of your videos and it motivated me to start trying to take better care of him. I managed to introduce a few new foods to his diet, started giving him regular baths, and sometimes he takes treats from my hand, which is a good progress!
I have a question - how do I trim his nails if he doesn't let me touch him yet? I don't want to break the trust that we're slowly starting to establish by catching him forcefully with a towel. I'm really not sure how to go about this.
Thank you, and have a wonderful day!
Thanks
Please do more videos with your two foxes! The fox as a pet video was how I found your channel, and since it would be a bad idea to get a fox of my own, I want to live vicariously through you xD
Thanks, I have 2 budgies and one conure, Kiwi, the GCC, is really lonely, dont worry we play with him, at night he goes to the bottom of his cage and hides under his newspaper, the poop catcher, and stares at the two budgies.
Love your sweater
I was analyzing the cockatiel in the background for practice
He was very comfortable because his crest was half hight, he was slightly fluffed up, pupils were dilated, and his wings were almost in a slight hart shape
Nice video. My 2 tiels are inseparable. Companionship is a huge deal for this specific bird. Can’t take one without the other as all hell breaks loose. They squeak till they’re together again.
My Grandma had cockatiels when I was growing up and she would always just sit and sing to them.
Tiny fluffy dinosaurs ahh my boys loved watching this with me! (Mostly because Steve kept squeaking, and they had to squeak back, as you do)
Ayyyy! Cockatiels
i like these videos, i have a quacker i'd really like to know more detail since i don't know a lot all i know is that mine loves carrots and that its not stressed(:
Your job is so cool. My boyfriend wants to be a vet but I have a feeling he's gonna be a zoologist and go around the world to study animals. I'm going to be a surgeon and pay for him to follow his dreams.
Yeah.. They are very popular.. yet hardly any of my pet stores carry them.. I had to travel to the state next to me to find a store that had one!
I love crested birds, from cockatiels to cardinals.
video great as always, do you think you could include metric measurements as well though, i know its a bit of a pain. But most of the world uses metric so i think it would increase engagement and usefulness of the video as conversion on the consumers end can be annoying. :)
YEAH!!! I love cockatiel! I have 2 males like Steve :D
I have asthma and have two cockatiels. I didn't know they shed so much and that there was so much dander build-up. My asthma is pretty well-controlled now as an adult, but when I clean their cage, I have to wear a mask. I have made the mistake of not wearing one, I ended up inhaling some of the dander when it was stirred up from cleaning, and it felt like I had a cold, my chest was wheezy and I had trouble breathing. Definitely consider this, especially if you have severe asthma.
Jessi: "Family Cakatuidae" Steve: "That's me!" Steve's a cool little dude.
I love your videos about birds and foxes. By any chance in the future, can you do more videos with your foxes?
had no idea about the dander till i brought my girl home. her second nickname is "dusty beeb". you can always tell where she's been sitting cus there'll be a thin layer of white flakes covering the whole area.
Me: Looks at a cockatiel
My brain: *a wild Pickachu has appeared*
I like your sweater
Could you please do a video of a full care guide n these guys? I might be getting one soon and I can't find a lot of stuff about them :/ Thank you! :)
Hi Jessie!! I would really love if you could do the same thing on here for sun conures or green cheek conures. I have both and didn't really realise what I was getting into despite extensive research!! I don't want that to happen to anyone else. I still have my two boys and they're spoiled and well looked after but are definitely much more work than anticipated (not that I mind). It would be good for others to know this too... that just because they're not overly large birds, doesn't mean they're less intelligent or don't need as much attention or stimulation.
Love the intro....I'm new
I have had my pet cockatiel for a long time. She was lost in the wild and got found and fostered by us. We put an ad out but no one answered; just as well for us because we love her so much. She just lost her cage mate (a female) and was completely beside herself until we got a male companion (they don't mate; she's a bit of a ditz and ignores serenading. He tried to preen her but she didn't let him).
I love tiels.
I've got 2 cockatiels. They (mostly) won't eat anything but seeds, so I buy them the best seed mix I could find. Whole grain, treated to avoid bacteria, with high quality grains and less of the more fatty ones (like sunflower seeds).
I tried getting them to eat pellets (specific for cockatiel feeding)) with no luck. As for fruit, they will only eat it when I'm eating when they can "steal" from me.
It is not easy getting them to eat well.
Steve is such a cutie pie. I am new owner of Peanut 4 month old female. We are getting to know each other she still does not trust me but is getting better.
The little red mark on their cheeks make them look like they are blushing.
Such sweethearts. cX
My mom brought home a toy as a gift for my little cockatiel Boris but it’s a really really big toy sized for something like a Macaw. It’s huge with slices of wood, a very textured rock and a lot of material to shred up with hemp rope tying together the bundle of the material (idk what the material is but it reminds me of hay but much sturdier ). I haven’t put it in his cage yet but, is it safe to? I figured it’d be okay because he’d just not use anything he doesn’t like but just wanted to make sure! Thank you so much for all the videos and work you put into each and every one of them
Could you please do one about green cheek conures?
Omega Da Dragon she did one on conures , but yes a green cheeked conure video would be great! :)
Love Cockatiels and have had many as pets, however as you mentioned, they produce a lot of feather dust and their poops do get messy on your shoulder. By contrast-budgies are much less messy and their droppings are dryish and rubbery and are easily removed with a finger without making a mess on your shoulder. Budgie droppings normally will roll off you if you nudge them off with a fingernail, or pick them up with a piece if tissue paper. Cockatiel poops require washing with a sponge or cloth to clean afterwards, especially if they are out on you for long periods. Might sound like a strange thing to talk about, but it can become a deal-breaker...whereas budgies don't have that issue really. Also the volume of Cockatiel calls can be a bit piercing, if they are next to your ear. However, negatives aside, they are great pets, relaxed/lazy shoulder birds (not hyperactive), great whistlers and full of beans when they get chirpy (i.e. when placed in front of a mirror or other cockatiel or if you whistle to them). Budgies can be a little hyperactive compared to cockatiels, but great fun.
Please do one like this about conures!!!
Hi, it's an amazing video as always ! I have a question about the asthma problem : does the agapornis roseicollis (I don't know the english common name) have the same feathers-turning-to-dust "problem" ?
I ask because my parents have two of them, and one of my brother is very very asthmatic.
Thank you so much !
