Do you have a scared Cockatiel?

No
Nop ☺️💅
My cockatiel ded 😢😭
My cockataiel is blind..
Be patient. Move slowly. Be gentle. Win the bird's trust by demonstrating you're not going to harm the bird. Never lash out or strike the bird. Always let them see what you're doing. They bite only out of fear or defense.
I had a cockatiel named spike. Best bird I ever had and he was obsessed with me. He always wanted to be near me and I eventually got him to recognise my specific whistle while it was dark and even made his own short recognition chirp so he didn’t panic. Unfortunately he died about a month or two ago now. Fuck I miss that bird
My male is also called spike
i have a female named spike great minds think alike!!. she is awesome! i’m sorry you lost your baby:(
How did spike die??
@@im_misfar940 not sure. I only had him for about 11 years or so so it’s not old age
This video is so helpful. Came back here to say that I tamed my cockatiel in only 3 weeks & 4 days.
How old is your cockatiel?
Yeah how old is he
The breeder told me its 4-5 months old
My cockatiel is an adult. It never let us touch him and doesn‘t come in our hands. I‘m the only one determined enough to bond with him like that but I don‘t know if it‘s possible. But I‘ll try!
How is the progress going?
Update? I’m in the same situation.
@@ragededward3577 i did try to take him multiple times out of the cage but the best I could get was him going to my leg/shoulders. He does seem more comfortable to come close but still wont let me touch
@@xulimbra oh see mine comes out of his cage almost everyday but won’t let me touch him. If I do he freaks out really bad. He’s a rescue.
@@ragededward3577 mine attacks us when we try. When we got him, we had a problem that forced us to take him and give him medication. So I guess that counts as trauma(?) I think that’s why he’s so afraid of us still
Their little nose holes are so cute! Especially when they're chicks! Adorable! 💞🐦💞
“Lovely cockie” 😂
Remove the last 2 letters and its on a whole nes level
ALL THE BIRDS ARE SO CUTE MAN
I got my cockatiel when she was 18 years old. She was afraid at first but she warmed up to me pretty fast. She is an old lady with a damaged wing but she seems happy. She likes to dance. She likes to come very close to my face. But she shies away from my hands. It's an old lady, so I'm not gonna put real pressure on her to hand-tame her. I'm glad she looks healthy, happy and curious.
Mine comes out of the cage onto our hands and he'll sit there and even talk to us, but he won't let us pet him. He also suddenly will fly off and it takes awhile to get him back into the cage.
He does speak actual words. He says "hello" and "pretty bird".
Mine the same way she's almost 2 now and she does head bops
Any suggestion on how to get the bird back to his cage??
I swear cockatiels are the cutest birds. They tickle me
Cockatoos preening is the cutest preening
Cockatoo or cockatiel
@@C4mzee both. In this comment i said cockatoos
@@trusfrated4645 cockatoos arent same as cockateil
@@shehzad2519 I know I was just saying lol I own cockatiels too
@@trusfrated4645 ah okay
My male speaks, he's says lots or thing like peekaboo, whatcha doing, what doing, hi, and more.
Tho be honest most of the time watching this kind of videos i get bored so fast . But this video was fun to watch by the way my lil cocktail pooped on me lol
Nice @psychopath
ah yes *cocktail*
5:58 no one gonna talk about this compliment 💀
😶 I didn’t even notice it at first-
😂
When you get your cockatiel while it's still young, handfeeding it first and allowing them/it to roam free 24/7 helps a lot. It worked for the ones l had and still have.
I found a cockatiel alone at a normal pet store when I was younger. She was fully grown, they didn’t know her age. She flew out of the cage right to me, and she’s been my little girl since. A few years go by and I decide I want to get her a friend so she isn’t alone when I can’t be with her. I found a breeder, and selected a baby cockatiel.
He was so sweet at first, he was okay with scratches and everything else. I don’t know when it switched, but he has become so aggressive I have no idea what to do. He isn’t even nice to my sweet girl anymore. To me it seems like he gets so protective of her and then gets so angry he can’t contain himself. He hates hands, he will only step on my hand when I take him out of the cage. Sometimes he will see me petting my girl, and come over and put his head down, and then draw blood when I try to pet him. I’m really at a loss here..
Maybe he's jealous??
@@FrostedUndead that’s what I think too, but what do I do about it ya know?? I can’t even separate them because he freaks out.
Since you got him as a child, maybe he sees her as a mother figure and trying to protect her?
This could be two things
Sexual frustration or Jealousy
I'll be willing to help you, it's not impossible.
Something that can be a factor is pain, I know they’re complete different animals but with dogs when they’re unexplainably aggressive it’s probably because they’re in pain.
I wish I had this sooner. My cockatiel does what it wants and only knows when it is time to eat. Ugh, he will be a handful but I like to learn.
Brilliant advice, thank you!
thank you! I got my babies from a bird rescue, and they're absolute darlings but they're scared of people. I got my first head scratch in today, but I hope this can help me teach them to step up and cuddle sooner!
Thank you. Very helpful.
such beautiful birds in the video
Wow!! Thanks for the great video!
i have a scared cockatiel! at this all worked! thanks a lot!
Wow thank you so much this help ALOT!!!

Great Video. Thanks for posting. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I have a Cockatiel and a Eastern Rosella, they enjoy each others company!
Awesome it helped me :D
0:08 was very cute
Amazing bird.
You are doing good job
My bird is a adult he lets us hold him but if you get to close he will bite not hard but like a warning bite he lets me pet him sometimes but not often I love him anyways ❤️
Cockatiels can and do speak! My 2 boys say Peekaboo and Hey Google, and I know of others that speak many different words and phrases...
My first cockatiel was a good talker! The one I have now, doesn't talk, but I still LOVE him! :D The really funny thing is, he learned how to sing like a cardinal (we get tons of them at my bird feeders, especially in the winter) & he taught my budgie how to sing like one! XD
1:11
Thanks, I just found out that I did not have a cockitail but a godzilla.
I have a hand-trained cockatiel already, so this new one is uncharted territory for me.
Gosh tysm lemon loves me!!
You are the real birdmen!! I have 4 cockatiels but they don't respect
Aww you got a coktail to!!!!
I know that ur 1st pet was a cocktail... ❤️
By the way, cocktail's whistle is so melodious and lovely! ❤️😍✨
Yes it was! Thank you ❤️ They are so fun same as Budgies
@@PetCareNation Yes sir... 😊
How do I have a cocktail as a pet isn’t that beer

My cockatiel is the annoying thing on earth. He’s eating my shirt right now.
It has help me thank you
I wanna see my birb fly free! So I'm hoping i can train it. I don't have a bird yet but I'm hoping to learn more

Best of luck, I am so happy 🧡
Have it come
@@PetCareNation will i be able to tame 2 month old cockatiel ??
5:58 "lovely cocky"
super
i recently bought 2 cockatiels male and a female, they r too scared of me. if i keep them in separate cage to hand feed them they scream and miss each other. they dont even get close to me. how do i train them?
My cockatiel hisses at me when I just put millet near it. Idk why bc they’re fine with my hand outside of the cage
my cockatiel is in his final days (older than me, i’m 16) and he actually learned at some point in time to do the “cat call” whistle 😂
My cockatiel, kiwi, is very feisty, and I have been trying to tame her by myself, but no results, I’ll try this
My fiancé adopted a cockatiel. We Don’t know the age. She attached to him in 2 days. She chirps when she hears him and always wants to be with him. I feel like she actively chooses to dislike me each day lol. We do the same things, but for whatever reason, she only wants to interact with him.
Thank you so much is pretty easy cuz they are baby first they run away when I try to get them
Hii I got a question is it still easier to tame a cocatill if it's around 5 ish weeks old 😅 because I got a pet cocatill that is about 5ish weeks old
Lovely... "Cockey...?" anway, thank you for this video!
Hi
I have a wild male cockatiel and a female hand tamed one.
We are trying our best to tame the wild one but he is absolutely terrified of hands.
Its been months without success. He does however eat from hands but wont let us touch him.
What shall we do? We tried teaching him step up without success.
Wait so your alen xp how many channels do you have?
This video is really helpful! But I have a method of getting my birds to trust me I just leave the cage door open and let them explore the room they are in and when I think it’s time to put them back I put my hand infront of them and wait for them to fully trust my hand and hop on then I put them back it is my method ok or should I use a different one?
Don’t they poop all over the place?
@@sahmiayav3208 so you dont allow your birds to fly around your house just because you think they will poop everywhere? dude, if you have a bird thats a "it doesnt matter" thing actually. cause they need to fly
@@skazka9400 i have very large birds, i live in a small one story home and their poop is the size of two quarters i do not let them poop everywhere, my home would smell and look horrible. i have bird diapers and leashes and i take them outside time to time, they do not have small cages so they are very entertained and can fly around all day but letting them poop in my room/ house is a definite no way
If I try that with mine she just freaks out, screeches like a banshee then flies around my room to get as far away from me as she can
@@flamingbridges1649 sameeee
I am debating on rehoming 2 (male and female) but now I was told they had never been tamed. Wondering if I should do this or not.
It's a long and challenging process
Recently i brought a 4month cockatiel and i tried to make him confortabile with my hands. I can say that in the second week i managed to pet him and he let me do this, i can notice that is a Little bit scared but i feel that he knows that i wont harm him.I will try to make even a beter relationship with him.
I'm New to this channel
I’m really considering adopting one now 🥺😅
same
@@rk9destroyer cute bird
@@cheznooney (:
You will never regret getting a hand tamed one
I absolutely adore my baby!
Initially I didnt want one, since I had a couple as a child and they were very aggressive. Hand taming makes a HUGE difference.
My little girl prefers hands and shoulders over anywhere else and demands attention and scritches all the time
So cute
my cockatiel had quite a large vocabulary for a young bird. She talked 'words' a lot.
i just got my baby tiel , he’s 5 mos old. he’s so scared he barely ate drank any water or slept the first day. day 2 he started playing with his toys and I seen he broke one toy and was chewing through it, i calmly took it out from his beak and hand fed him :( i was so shocked but happy that he’s finally eating. I definitely took the toy down so he won’t choke. but day 3 he won’t come out his cage still. it’s okay i’m letting him get familiar ( i leave his cage door wide open so he knows it’s safe to come out). for some reason he panics or has anxiety attacks and starts looking for someone, perhaps another bird? it scares me because he runs all around the cage falling and screaming.. i don’t know what triggers him. he’s also blind out one eye he was born like that🙁 i think maybe that has something to do with it… any tips or advice ?
I just got a cockatiel and he is 4 weeks old and He’s scared we can’t pick him up we can’t really do anything with him because we have to train him and I don’t know how to because I’ve never had a cockatiel and was help you so much
please a question: i dont know why i got my two cockatiels with no tails and its been approximately 2 months and none of them tails has grown not even a bit
They don’t grow their tails back
I’ve had a cockatiel for about 2 years, I hand fed him from an egg, but he still hates me. What should i do?
I have a 15 year old cockatiel who i rescued. I can only handle him when hes scared or first thing in the morning. Otherwise he hisses and bites and ive accepted thats just how he is, i can even tell him to "go to bed" and he put himself in his cage without me having to handle him. My other cockatiel lived till 24 and was extrenely tame i could snuggle with him. I think its okay to just meet them where they are at and if you cant handle thats ok
hi man, I have 3 tamed cockatiels. Unfortunately my dog tried to chase them as a puppy and so they didn't come out of the cage very often, how can I convince them to trust me again?
I am having two cocktails and this was the first time it ever let me pet them
Hi I am a very big fan of you can you tell is it okay for my grey cockatiel to be in a black cage pls someone tell pls
2:59
LOL
Seriously😂😅
I had rescued a 2 year old cockatiel named buddy. The original owner didnt know that she had to spend time with him and give him lots of attention. All she did with him was give him food and water. Hes very scared of people. He will hiss and try to attack you. Ive gotten to the point where i can feed him from my hand but he will not do that with anyone else and he will hiss and try to attack other people in my household. He never really seems comfortable at all, although he is getting better and he will sing most of the day and screech to come out of his cage. I use sunflower seeds with him as that seems to win his heart he also loves millet. Hes never had a bath before (he never had the choice to as the owner used like a water bottle for his water.) so first i tried to mist him with a spray bottle, but he doesnt seem to like it. Ive given him a choice of bathing himself as he has a bowl of water in his cage i always put in fresh everyday. The lady said that hes also never had fruit & veg she stopped giving it to him as he wouldnt try it. Im trying to work on that at the moment. I really need some advice please 😅 sorry for the long comment.
Any tips. I have a cockatiel my boy Zazu I adopted him over a year ago. He’s a rescue but is still fearful of me. I’m thinking he may never fully trust me. I’m okay if he doesn’t but I still wanna try everything that I can. He’s still scared of my hands. Won’t do step up inside the cage and I gotta try many times when he’s out of the cage. He does play a lot, get a really good diet, and has a large flight cage. I’ve noticed he’s just not very tame. Which worries me because when he does freak out he’s flew into the wall twice luckily he didn’t get hurt. He’s a sweet boy and sings. But soon as I get to close to the cage he’s on alert crest up wings close to sides and watches me like a hawk. And when he is out of the cage he sleeps in his corner, plays on the floor, or is on top of his cage singing.
I just got one today he was pretty scared any loud noise made him jump and having kids in the house didn’t help either but i still insisted on bonding with him i fed him with my hands until he was comfortable then i toutched him gently he freaked out so i stoped i left him alone for 2 hours and did the same again and when i touched him this time he let me pet him but just in the right side if i touched the left he start biting or if i touche his belly but im glad he let me touche him the first day but the weird thing is that he didn’t make any sound all day
You might have a girl
@@helenellsworth9556 its been 4 months he doesn’t shut up anymore xD hes a male and i got him a wify
@@dextter292 can u tell me if it's safe to feed them with bare hands
@@sharequsman596 It is. They might bite, but their bites aren't that bad. Just remember not to get mad at the bird, it's not trying to be mean it's just scared. If you're scared of getting bitten (which doesn't hurt that much) you can wear a glove to make sure it doesn't hurt
I am considering adopting a 2 year old that is fighting with his brother. Is it a bad idea? I had my previous bird from 2 months until he passed at 27 years old.
Cockatiels do speak actual words.
After Bonding it's really hard to put my birdy back in the cage. Can you suggest some ideas on that
I don't get how I'm supposed to get my bird to want to interact with me, I practically rescued him when he was 2 years old and he has been though A LOT of trauma
I am new to having birds so this is very hard for me
I have 2 adult cockatiels. One comes on my hand for treat. But other is very scared. And produces shril sounds when it sees other cockatiel comes close to me, so that the other also gets scared and moves away from me. Please help.
I tried to seperate them. But they feel more scared.
I have a six month old cockatiel and is he an adult or still a baby?
I just got a 2nd cockatiel yesterday i let him settle in but hes very stressed and keeps screaming very high pitched, im spending time by his cage but he VERY scared
My cockatiels are there with me for a week , how to make them get out of the cage and be comfortable , i once brought my female cockatiel out of the cage but she was scared and kept sitting at one place eventually I had to put her back myself.
Got mine at 11 days old , day 2 now let’s me pet him but has to run over and eat while I pet him, actually only seen him eat while petting him
Bro pls tell me how to tame the adult budgies it is always biting
Да 👍 классно. У меня маленький волнистый попугай. Только обучаю.
So many naive people in the comments hurts. You guys buy birds without informing yourself beforehand and then come on these videos to comment nonsense because the bird didn't fall in love with you within 3 days. Some even complain that the bird will 'only' sit on their shoulder, but ignore that that's the first big step and progress.
Can you still tame a cockatiel even if it’s not handfed when it was a baby?
Ye
I have a cockatiel how do I train them not to bite or squawk?
I just got my cockatiel he’s 9 months now. Had him for almost a month. He’s nice. But I can’t seem to bond with him. He hisses when I go near his cage but that’s about it. I can’t touch him or hold him and when I want him back in the cage I have to use a glove and pick him up. Does anyone have tips for getting him back in the cage or bonding. I seriously don’t know what to do
Hopefully i can get my cockatiel to come out her shell...got her August 15th (week now) and she still nit having it... every morning when i tell her Good morning she hisses ,well she hisses most the time when we get close .im unsure of her age want to take her to the vet to check
