Awesome watching these vids of cockatiels in the wild with my nearly 31 year old 'tiel on my shoulder. He's so spoiled I just can't imagine him out there in the wild.
@@decayedcake1245 Yup, my family got little Oliver in Jan/Feb of 1991, when I was 12. He was hatched in Nov of 1990. My mom always regretted not finding out his actual hatch date. Anyway, my mom used to joke that if anything happened to her (my dad passed in '96), that I'd need to take care of him(my brother has a kid and cats). I thought, "yeah right". But, almost 4 years ago she passed from pancreatic cancer and I've been taking care of him since. He is utterly spoiled. Mostly eats human food, and is always out of his cage. He's always been an angry bird. I've always joked that anger has fueled him all these years. But, he is adorable. I've lived with my wife for 3 years now, and though he tolerates her, I and my brother are the only people he shows genuine affection towards. Other than some arthritis that he occasionally presents in his left foot he is otherwise healthy and active.
@@chadkochenower6142 wow oldest cockatiels I know were around 21 years old. isn't human food unhealthy for them, the oil and salt content especially? do you have an instagram for your bird?
Same here too. I have two. Both are very naughty. Won't allow me to go outside. One white i hand fed and raised always sits on my head. Their favourite food is what I eat. You give them separately they won't eat but only from my plate.
I love cockatiels so much, i have one female she is my best friend ,she understands me when am sick she comes and doesnt move from my shoulder , she likes to play à lot with toys esp wooden ones, she brings me so much happiness i dont put her in cage except night time ,
i have the same relationship with mine but she screams SO loud every time i leave the room. it’s so sad because i love her so much but i just cannot take her screaming…im thinking of giving her away
cockatiels in wild: i will fly all over, the high branches are my abode, i love the murky water and i have so many friends my cockatiel: mommy vegetal 2spooky4me chimcken wan seeb
Watching this from the United States. :) Thank you so much for sharing this gorgeous footage of cockatiels in the wild! Given the extensive footage and very informative commentary, I would imagine it takes a lot of time to make these videos! I am the caretaker of three rescue cockatiels, and your videos are helping provide me with ideas for the dream aviary I am working on for them. It's not the same as flying free in the skies of Australia, but I still want to give them the best life possible. Thank you so, so much for this helpful and educational content!!!
Hi, I want to thank you so very much for this wonderful documentary; for having taken the time and trouble to bring it to us. I love cockatiels. Just lost my "cockatiel companion" of 17 years. She was a lutino female. And, again, I love them. Thanks again!!! ❤🦜❤
Thank you so much for posting this video. There are not many documentaries about cockatiels online. I’ve kept 14 tiels for some time and it is a wonderful experience to see them happily living in the wild.
i have a baby wild color female cockatiel and it’s kinda strange seeing thousands of baby willows flying in the wild. she just flies to the top of my head and demands scritches! it is nice to see them in them in their natural habitat
News report in Pennsylvania said a Cockatiel was found that had been missing 3 YEARS. Somehow this tropical bird survived 3 harsh winters in the north United States. I didn’t think they could survive cold weather like that but apparently they can. Makes me wonder if it migrated south by itself and flew back ?? Birds have a amazing way of doing that
Being birds of the desert and semi-arid regions of Australia, rather than truly 'tropical' birds, they are adapted to cope with both very hot days and very cold nights with freezing temperatures where they are exposed to the elements...... not as cold as the Northern US, but they can certainly tolerate colder conditions than the true tropical parrots.
As an avid bird watcher here in Queensland and now having found your superb channel I hang off every word and description. Surely your videos must be ranked as the best in footage and commentary. I will now make sure to watch all of your videos where I continue to glean more of the finer points of each species. Highly commended and thanks for your work.
Hello from California, great video. It's nice to see birds we Americans only see in cages living in the wild in their native range doing their native things.
Great channel! Subscribed! Cockatiels belong to the cockatoo family which is part of the parrot family. Hybrids occur when species are very much related; hybrids between Cockatiel and Galah called Galatiel do exist. Parrots all have the combination of hooked bills and zygodactylus feet (two toes facing front and two toes facing back).
Thank you for your fantastic knowledgeable commentary of these beautiful birds. If you are ever on the Gold Coast looking for birds I would love to come along with you and view any breed of any bird as they are all just so special. Thanks again, Dan
Cockatoos are parrots as well. Parrot is the order and cockatoo is the family. It is divided further into cockatiels, galahs and sulphur crested cockatoos.
@Sean Bayley I saw a documentary about parrots in Australia and it's amazing the variety of... not only birds but animals and plants. Australia is a worldwide treasure.
We seen wild cockatiels in Rockhampton QLD in the park just behind the Holden dealership. So that may be interesting for you since you mention they are not found on the east coast. 😉
Mine died 2 days ago he was 22 years old.. Im 25 i got him when i was 3..i cried as a baby when he died.. Yesterday i got new one and stay3d with same name Koki💙
"No Cockatoos have white shoulders." Really? I'm pretty sure that all of the white species of Cockatoos have not only white legs, wings, chests, backs and heads but also White Shoulders.
I love my cockatiels but if I had to listen to hundreds of these birds scream I’d go crazy hahaha god why can’t they all just learn the Andy griffin show whistle or something other than that scream😱
Kiwi shit on my head while I was watching this and I had to wash the lock of hair with soap and water to get her mashed up shit out of my hair. Why are cockatiels such little shits lol.
The mother tiel has freckle spots on her chest. So cute.. But makes me wonder , was it really a wild or former pet cockatiel, or a really tame one that they put in the video? Since the spot gene is usually associated with tiels that are split to whiteface or whiteface.
Mooie positieve video is goed voor de gezondheid en het hart positivo therapie grazie mille alla prossima pace e bene a tutti voi in famiglia ciaooooooooooooooooo
Maybe someone found it and is taking care of your cockatiel. Mine flew to my house and we are taking care of it for years since we were never able to find the owner.
@@andreasvmmclx me too. we found a cockatiel walking on the street and eating bread crumbles. my dad caught her, we searched for the owner but couldnt find. and limon (lemon) became our pet. she's with us for 4 years. greetings from turkey :)
Dont be fooled by cockatiels diminutive size. They are so full if character and makes wonderful companions. Also can live 30 years . We are a cockatiels fanatics household. Weve had several over my fifty years . I had a white faced male. He was tge mist incredible burd ever. Calling him a bird just cant do justice to him and his position as the head of the house 😂. Its broken my heart hes not here with us anymore. We also had a beautiful lutino called Monty who we thought was male but turned out he was a she lol 😆. But he wasnt a very well bird and he passed away only aged two 😢. My father in law made him a beautiful lead coffin all decorated with engraving. He was our first ever as adults in our house ( my dad had tgem when i was a kid ) but tgey lived in a aviary. Ours lived indoors. After three years of not having them,( we vowed necer to get anymore after our beloved wally left us 😢😢😢) We got him as a companion for our first bird when my partner and i moved in together sixteen yesrs ago. We got him because we were working long hours in the catering world. We got what we thought was a female but un fact he was all male, and was very dominant and sung constantly. He was amazing. He could learn new tunes easily and had a decent repertoire inc star wars darth vader tune , the good the bad and the ugly, smoke on the water by deep purple, the got theme slong with various whistles and sound effects. He was incredible. Even though no two are alike and all are very much individuals with their own character and flaws 😂 . They are very affectionate and loved nothing more than spending time with you. Loved head rubs and would fly on your plate to steal your food at meal times. At one point we had three and the more the better!!. The other two came from a house were they didn't want to spend any time with them and complained about their noise. It was cos they were bored. Also even though they came from the same house they were never allowed to be together abd were separated in two cages in tge same room so would call out to each other. They wete okd when we got them and were not used to be handled. But it took months but we got them used to us and would sit next to us on the sofa. We found we gained their trust using food. Especially little nibbles of ours. They loved mature cheddar over anything. And spelt crackers or oat cakes. If you ever get the chance snd want a loving pet / companion then you cant get better than a cockatiel but please try not to get from a pet shop especially from a big company pet stores as they can be weak and have all sorts of health issues. Uf buying one try to get from a local breeder especially in sn aviary where they are used to flying. Also a responsible breeder won't allow them to go to their new home until they are a certain age and usually used to handling. But if you get one please make sure you have all the right supplies and facilities for them like a good sized cage where there is plenty of riom for them to get about. Register with a vet and try to get goid quality food. Also make sure tgey have lots of toys for their cage including spares so you can change their cage so they don't get bored. Put in the time and effort and you will be rewarded with an incredible little character who will genuinely love you sbd will sung to you ( definitely if they are male) . If you want quiet then a female may be better but if you can try to get a male. Especially a dominant feisty little bugger as IMHO tgey make the absolute best and will entertain you al the time. Also remember to civer tfem with a blanket or a curtain. They are so much in such a little package. Like a little flying puppy lol 😂

This is really cool. I've seen these birds as a pets in pet store 🙂
@Sean Bayley What?
Cockatiels are one of my favorite animals. Mine is sitting on my shoulder as I watch
Me and my wife would love to see them in the wild, wonderful animals. Great footage pal cheers 👍🏻

Now I feel like travelling to Australia.

Australia is a worldwide treasure.
its nice seeing them in wild where they belong instead of seeing them in homes as pet.
Thaks for the comment.
It's nice seeing them home as a pet and not in the wild being chased by predators.
UNDERRATED CHANNEL! Amazing documentary!
We seen wild cockatiels in Rockhampton QLD in the park just behind the Holden dealership. So that may be interesting for you since you mention they are not found on the east coast. 😉

What are the names of the plants they like the most?
Grass seed
@@plumesofoz I mean like species, I would like try and grow some for my bird at home
@@plumesofoz I'm from North America so I don't have them. I would like to offer my bird some of the things things they eat in the wild
Do cockatiels like Eucalyptus trees?
Amazing video
Salam kenal saya dari Indonesia, saya mengagumi video ini, keren banget, semoga semakin maju channelnya
this is too fucking cute
"No Cockatoos have white shoulders." Really? I'm pretty sure that all of the white species of Cockatoos have not only white legs, wings, chests, backs and heads but also White Shoulders.
So beautiful ❤❤❤❤
😄
Heaven?
In their own genus.... yes. But definitely cockatoos; since we now know they can breed with galahs.
I love my cockatiels but if I had to listen to hundreds of these birds scream I’d go crazy hahaha god why can’t they all just learn the Andy griffin show whistle or something other than that scream😱
3:14 the bird in the middle of the flock is different colour.
Kiwi shit on my head while I was watching this and I had to wash the lock of hair with soap and water to get her mashed up shit out of my hair. Why are cockatiels such little shits lol.
im watching this from algeria , i have a couple of aussie cockatiel , i love it , you have a lot of them in straya , send me hhhhhhhhhhh
@Sean Bayley i know australia is the land of these kind of birds cockatoo cockatiels etc thats beautiful
@Sean Bayley i wish i could come
@Sean Bayley yeah north africa , all is right , now its summer over here people go to the beaches etc , so yeah its safe
Indonesia island do had cockatiel.
Is called Kakak Tua in local.
That's how it got it's name in translate
Thank you for the incite. Cheers
awww so cute

Thanks for the comment. All wild. Sometimes the bars do look spotty. That was in far west Queensland escapees are usually in urban areas.
Do u have winter video how they are living in winter I wanna see
A large content of that video was shot June/July.
is there any subtitle of the video, quite difficult to learn
So cute
I wonder if I was to free my birds here would they survive? I’m sure they would ❤such beautiful birdies 😭❤️
no they wont, they rely on humans in captivity and wont know how to do what they do in the wild
Are they mainly common around western Australia..
Yes also WA big flocks more to the North
Thanks sir,we really need to this video.
I'm from Australia :)
My birds love this video 😂
i watched this with my tiels and safe to say the were a little confused
Beautiful
Comments appreciated.
They can interbreed with cockatoos
Hybrids are infertile.
Yes, but they are in the same genus.
Could they interbreed with any kind of cockatoo? I only remember that amazing "galahtiel".
Sorry I don't know.
What is wild type cockatiel size...can anyone advised....it look bigger
30-33cm.
Cockatiels and galahs can hybridize
i have a lutino and i wondered him at the wild life but i didnt fine any documentary
A breeders delight. Great pet.
Mooie positieve video is goed voor de gezondheid en het hart positivo therapie grazie mille alla prossima pace e bene a tutti voi in famiglia ciaooooooooooooooooo
Thanks Sabrina.
Its cute❤
I only saw a wild cockatiel once in 2 years in Australia, so they can't be common.
Common in the drylands.
Awesome

Wow
Are there color mutations of these in the wild?
No the wild birds have minimal colour variation from what is shown in the video, The same for the budgie. In the wild it is only green and yellow
@@plumesofoz I have this theory that they prefer to perch on dead branches as these have similar shades of color to their plumage, thus serving as a form of camouflage.
I wonder how they would react to the mutation colors ???
Only Leucistic very rare I have only seen one
How can you tell if a cocktiel is a male or female?? Please tell me!
mine ain't fit for the wild.
Mine has yellow hair on top. Why are these grey hair on top
Some cokatiels are diffrent
Thats either a pied, cinammon or lutino.
I though they were a type of parrot .
