      I mean around 5 of my budgies are not tamed, and people say to let them out of the cage but also say not to chase them around. Plus we have a cat, I know, I know, it’s stupid to have a cat and birds but we will hopefully get a door so the cat can’t hurt them. Plus my brother used to smack him when he was near the cages, not insanely hard and abusive or anything, but I still wish he didn’t. But because of it the cat doesn’t really try to hurt them and just jumps on top of the cages to scare them (we have those decently tall rectangular birb cages). Pretty sure the cat only wants a high up place to sit and nap.

      Our boys love their cage and always seem very relieved to return to it for some down time once they've had enough of being out. It's stressful for them to not be allowed their own safe space so it's a careful balance and depends on the nature of the birds as each and every cockatiel has its own very unique character, just like people.
      I don't think they are loud compared to other birds. Budgies annoy me with their constant chatter. Other types of parrot are too loud. Cockatiels have times when they are quietly resting and times when they are vocal throughout the day. And girls are generally quieter than boys as well as being more even tempered.
      One cockatiel will always be needy for attention from their humans. Giving them a friend for company makes for a much more relaxed and secure bird.

      We had our cockatiel for more than 15 years now. His cage is always open at this point, because he knows the layout of our apartment and knows where not to go. So he just decides himself if he wants to be in the cage or outside. He doesn’t fly much anymore, probably due to his age. But he likes to sit on the roof of his cage and grind his beak 😇

    I had a good boy named maverick. He was so full of personality. He died in my arms. I really loved that bird. I didn’t know how old he was when I got him. Apparently he was an old man. If you left your cereal for any reason he would be standing chest deep in milk picking cheerios out by the time you got back. He loved to be wherever I was and I really enjoyed his company. I miss his little songs he would whistle for me when I got up in the morning.

    Cockatiels are a giant parrot in a little body!! I have been owned by and raised parrots and other small psittisines for 35+ years. Cockatiels give you more bang for your buck, as these little pint size birds are large parrots stuck in a tiny body.
    They are EXTREMELY social birds that bond strong to their human flock and can become an active part of your family.
    The nice thing, is that they are so MUCH more quiet than the larger birds and do NOT make nearly the mess of the larger birds.
    They are NOT the kind of bird that you buy to just sit in a cage and look at them. They require stimulation and attention from their owners.
    PLEASE, do NOT take on an animal without doing your research. If you do not have the time for an animal, a bird is DEFINITELY not the solution, as birds require a great deal of love and attention and they are NOT happy to just sit in a cage and be looked at.

      Firewater by design, that's a good description of cockatiels. I would add to that, that they are much more intelligent than people give them credit for. The male I had was explicit in indicating his taste for my food ("Birdie want some," when diving feet first into my fried eggs) or declining to leave his high window perch ("Be right back,), or wanting to come out of his cage in the morning ("Birdie want to come out"), and several other requests/demands, in addition to excellent renditions of several musical pieces. Gregarious and lovable, both.

    no parrot is simple to care for. all parrots have very complex diets, you need to pay close attention to their behaviour, since like all birds they hide their illnesses and don't look ill for a newbie-keeper until they're very VERY sick. and you need to visit veterinarian ornithologist (fancy name for a vet for birds) several times a year and at least where i live that's not a common specialist.
    p.s: there's more to it, but i don't want to write an essay on bird keeping.

      I spent about a year studying everything about (Quaker) parrots & asking avian vets for the best information so I could ensure that my birds would get the best care. So many people think oh it’s easy throw your bird in a cage & feed it. Birds are very different from a cat or dog. Birds need so much more care & some of the smallest things kill them, like over heating a Teflon pan, burning candles, or using essential oil’s. Also birds need first-aid quickly because a small amount of blood lost is a major emergency for a small parrot! Just look up broken blood feathers it’s not something that can wait to be treated!

    My granny had a cockatiel when I was growing up. They found him on the driveway and he willingly came in. He got along with our dogs at the time and would sit on them, and he already knew a song we all took the time to learn. Sadly after our dog passed and we had gotten another a year later, that dog did not like the bird so instead of the whole house the bird could only fly around one room unless the dog was outside (she used to tear the screen doors open if left outside for too long). Funny thing about the cockatiel was that he hated males and would always attack my grandpa, granny claims it’s because grandpa would get a skillet and tell the bird to get in it lol

    I've been a Cockatiel mom since 1995 & have loved every minute of it with them in my life. Right now I have 3, ages 23 & 2 are 16, all male. But I have had females too. Have had them since they were in their eggs. The hardest part of having them is when it's time for them to cross the rainbow bridge 😭. They are very social birds. If they are tame, they want you to be a part of their flock. If they see you eat, they want to eat with you. (But don't share your food with them because there are foods we can eat that's toxic to them). There are tons of Cockatiel websites that will explain what's good & bad for them. If they aren't tame, patience, time & parrots websites can also help you with taming & even training them. Finding books in bookstores can help. When I first became a bird mom, I didn't have internet on a phone to do any searching. Btw, my bird's names are Stormy (his mate was Sunshine), Junior, & Bear (his mate was Snuggles). Junior never had a mate. He was too interested in hanging out with me. 🤣 Junior's mom passed away in 2014 & I had her cremated. She's sitting on my dresser next to my bird cages. She's the only one I've had cremated. Didn't have the money to get the other ones cremated when they passed. But I am definitely cremating Junior when it's his turn. He is so attached to me. And when it's my turn, I'm having Junior & his mom be put in my casket with me in their little boxes. I never could have kids ( had a miscarriage when I was married in 1984 & was never able to get pregnant again. So my birds are my feathered children. ❤🐥🐥🐥❤

      they are as social as humans, their diet in nature is even more diverse than human one and a newbie keeper can't really say if they're ill or not. so, imagine what would a combo of complete isolation, poor diet, mainly composed of porridge, and chronic pain do to a human. that what most of the parrots experience. by the way, parakeets can easily live to 20 years (record being 36 ears) and they live 5 years on average.

Problem was now, that the big aviary was right next to our terrace, so the summers where real fun 😂😂😂

He also came to my dad while he was in the backyard gardening, landing at his feet and letting himself be guided into a cage, making us think he was an escaped pet. We never found his original owners despite putting him up on Facebook, but he told us his name was Rocky, because his other things he says are "Hello Rocky" and "Pretty bird".

    “ No. no, no, no.. He loves rock and roll.. He doesn’t like violence on tv. He will screech
    when he sees it. He saw a shark going after a SeaLion and threw a fit.. He doesn’t like Martial Arts… I put a toilet paper, cardboard in his cage
    for something new to play with.. He stuck his head into it and talks and sings in it. When I try to videotape him, he stops what he is doing… He is cute in the morning. I take his cover off and he stands on the side of his cage and goes back and forth very fast, yelling, “ Mommy, Mommy, Mommy.” He is 11 years old now. I love him 😍

We lived through the Northridge Earthquake in Santa Clarita. Our home received lots of damage. (Well over $250K of damage.)

Within10 seconds max, the aftershock would hit.

    I had an adopted one that never left her cage and never wanted to be touched, but also didn't like it when i left the room. Even her previous owners said she had an unfriendly disposition from birth, while her brother loved people.
