I got my teil trained by not doing any of this. And he sat on my shoulder throughout our 25 years together. The most loving animal I’ve ever had the pleasure to be owned by.
I very recently acquired my baby cockatiel. She is a replacement for my fly trained quacker parrot that I recently lost. I’ve quickly learnt that my quacker (Frankie) will never be replaced. But I Learnt to appreciate (Molly) in her own way.
One of the most basic beginner training tactics is to teach Target or "Touch" training with a wooden chopstick and a clicker, and rewarding with a click and a treat when the bird gently taps the end of the stick. By teaching your bird this earlier on it can be easier to train because the bird will associate the stick and clicker with getting a treat and may be motivated to co-operate. Don't ever try to force your bird to do something as this will break trust and learn to read body language. Your bird goes to bite your finger when it gets too close? Back away and try again later. This will show the bird you RESPECT it's warnings and it will slowly learn on it's own that the finger won't hurt it. Work at the birds pace, no matter how slow it is, and your bond will be just that much stronger.
@@theoneandonly9846 clicker training is when you use a clicker(little thing with a button that makes a fast, clicking noise) to train your bird. Clicker represents a treat coming. You can find some great videos on how to do it on UA-cam. Just search up "clicker training for birds". Hope it helped❤❤❤
Never use the cage as punishment. Its their safe space to go to for calm down time, sleeping, eating. If your bird is misbehaving do not give into that behavior at all, blowing on them will only ruin your progress as well as never raise you voice, always talk to your bird with a soft calm tone. When they bite you or misbehave, simply give them a stern but still calm "No". These things take time and patience. If your bird keeps biting then reflect on your actions and behavior, what did you do that made your bird feel the need to bite? Your bird could just be tired and simply wants you to stop touching them. Training goes both ways, if your not getting anywhere then take a break and try again another day
@@gersonalvarez4865 never been bitten, i first use a bamboo stick to step on, once heisused to me i just put my hand up and he hops or flys to it. Just dont force or push them and stay patient keep talking comforting him
Been trying for 5 months, and my female is still terrified of my finger. You make it sound so easy. Try it with my bird, if she steps on your finger, I'll give you 500 "quid" as you're fond of saying. Edit: I've also read that birds cannot understand negative reinforcement, and to never blow on them at all. Christ, even I knew that.
I'm speaking from years of pet training experience and readings on the subject. With animals of any kind, there is no "understanding" of what they're supposed to do with reinforcement. You're just getting them to automatically and unthinkingly "associate" a behavior with reinforcement, whether positive or negative. Generally, you're only supposed to use mild punishment to stop potentially harmful (to human or the animal) behaviors like biting. But if someone tells you to "never" do a certain action to a pet (like shoulder "domination" lol), they really need to say specifically WHY it's a bad thing (and it should make sense to you); otherwise you might collect a bunch of rules that actually wind up confusing your pet and stressing it out, which is bad for their physical health. Blowing on a bird is just mildly annoying to them, but on the off chance they could pick up a human disease, you certainly shouldn't blow on them when you're sick.
Try out different snacks. You will find one they do everything for. Get them to feed near your hand. then from the hand. Take your arm. Lay your hand flat on the cage. try to lock them on the hand. Reward them every time they did it right. With my Cockatiels was the only possible way to get them. They will lightly bit you when thier stepping up. Thats normal. A Cockatiel tests if your arm is sutible. Dont blow on them. They will likely chatch a Disease.
@@analphabet1996 mine loves taco shells, but I only give her a few bites because of the salt. She goes nuts for plain rice cakes, might try to only give her some if she steps up. Weird, because I have her stick trained perfectly, she jumps right onto my arm, and her favorite place is my shoulder, but hands just freak her out. She can't make the connection that hands=also me. And I drop the nutri-berries less than 2 inches from her head into her tray with my fingers. Birdbrain.
@@ElevenDollarCheeseOmg me too my budgies do everything with a stick, they come, step up etc. But when it comes to hands they get really scared you’re lucky they even go on your arm mine don’t like arms either for them it’s bigger and even more scary and for some reason they let me pet them when they’re calm or at certain times, they will also do anything for millet but once the millet is gone, they just leave and never let you touch them again
Even though that is true, some birds never understand the signal. I would recommend introducing the bird to step up by giving it a choice (put a treat behind your finger so that the bird has to step up to reach the treat) while saying the command (ie: stepup, upup, etc). Then, after the bird is comfortable stepping up by choice with the treat being in sight, remove the treat from your hand and place it in your off-hand. Then, say the command (ie: stepup, upup, etc) that you have been using. If the bird steps up, reward it with the treat from your off-hand. If the bird does not step up, then show the treat and practice a bunch of times, then, place the treat in your off-hand once again. Try the command again and if the bird does not step up, repeat the process over and over until the bird steps up. If you are sure that your bird does not understand the command, then lightly punch the bird’s chest while saying the command. Did I mention LIGHTLY. Gradually increase the pressure over time (don’t apply too much pressure) until your bird steps up. Then reward it form your off-hand. If your bird does not step up even under pressure (no pun intended), it is not ready. Repeat the first step over and over again.
Well it's not a bad idea anymore because when you use a command and make your bird sit on your hand after that give it treats so it would understand that it will get treats if it do it
cute video! love your relationship with him 🖤 you can definitely train him to willingly get into the harness, just use his favorite treat and take it nice and slow. Looks like he had fun though!
Never let them on your shoulder is a disappointing one. That’s the most convenient spot for my bird. Loves to hang out with me while I do dishes, laundry, clean house and vacuum or just chill and watch a movie. Is there a healthier alternative other than on my finger the entire time?
I got my cockatiel just now...he's 4months old,he's too pretty..maybe he doesn't even know how to bite he's such a calm bird even if I try to touch him he just gets scared and backs off but he never tried to bite yet hope we get boneded soon.😊
i have two cokatiels with me and i am trying to train them it was to hard they where keep on biting me so i gave them some food and stuff and i put my hand on them still they where scared of me so i saw this video and it made me understand wow! i am going to do the same thing bye im subscribing right now!! thx for help!
@@karig7624 One month later and its a bit better, but just a tiny bit. Ive read that some cockatiels only like men and bond with them only, while some only like women, maybe our cockatiels like men
@@bellebella783 if its a female bird, then its tough to train them. I have both male and female. Male is always calm, female always keeps running here and there. Been like this since months., still trying to pamper her.
@@loki4171 its a male, now one month later he is doing better with accepting me... in general this kind if bird is very difficult to deal with and they love biting and fighting... good luck to both of us 😅

Pushing on their belly causes the bird to lose its balance and be forced onto your finger. You are forcing them to do something they don't want to do. This breaks any trust with you.
I bought 8 month old cockatiel from pet shop it was sick the owner hand feed him he got better he half train I'm training him when I put my hand he hiss but when I put my hand flat on surface and slide easy he get on and he does be on my shoulder cause he feel comfortable there
Is it only during the training/taming phase that you do not want your cockatiel to sit on your shoulder? I am about to get a young cocktail and am researching on training. Years ago I had bought a cockatiel already a year old and very tame. He sat on my shoulder a lot and we had positive interactions. I was able to teach him how to say various words and whistle tunes.
Hope you answer, I adopted a male and female, the male is the least of my worries since he's a sweat heart, her, she will run terrified and WILL NOT let me near her, I've tried holding my finger close and blowing and she'll stop pecking but touching her is off the table, id want to let roam my room while I spend my day their doing nothing but I feel like she doesn't deserve ir, and sometimes HE will force her to stay in the cage. Their rescued becuz my sister keeps them in a hallway will frequently forget their existence but I'll take the cage to my room to prevent depression 🙃. Any tips, id love to take them with me when I find my own place but I don't want a pet that hates me, but if I leave her, she'll live in a cage In a empty hall way alone, cuz why would I leave him when he clearly loves me.
I've watched most cocketail videos on training but theirs nothing on how to get them to not retreat, I've come to the conclusion that they probably can't fly 🙃 the birds in the video not mine, cuz how, if their pecking you, why aren't they attempting to flee ? That's my females only option, I've even put her on my finger and for hours let her fly off and then immediately follow and pick her up and we've repeated this for hours to the point she's exhausted but if I put her away for that won't I leave ot on a bad note???!!!
Maybe she is just jealous. Try with food first, when you offer him some seeds do it for her also, and take your time. 2-3 weeks min. Stop blowing on her after a week, do it very rarely after.
@@parrotnest1 thank you so much for a responce on a year old video, I appreciate you taking your time. I'll try that, but do you mean she might be jelouse, cuz he does, idk about her 🤔 but thank you I'll try my best!
I have a grey cockteil which have 35-40 days and its wings have dots is it a female cockteil?? Did female cockteil have dots on wings in this small age??
I bought a new Cockatiel that just started to self eat... It eats from my hand walks in my palm but after eating it flys won't come back I will have catch it
i want to do the blowing thingy for my bird, but im kinda scared since i spit sometimes whenever i blow softly, and i've heard saliva is harmful to birds. should i use a different approach for it?
My cocktail sits only on shoulder ...how to train dem..i keep dem on lap but they run and sit on shoulder...i stop dem from biting my chain but my cocktail becomes aggresive dat am restricting and bites my finger
Two years and I can't get to step 1 but I also do t have problems with biting ...they just run away -.- they eat the food i hold but they won't eat food out of my hand or step onto my fingers
try to work with them with no cage in the same room, dont fill their full boxes of food thru all day and night, give them breakfast and remove the food boxes, then train them one-two hours after that, then feed them after few hours, or during training with small rewards
But the thing is, I don't force my cockatiel to sit on my shoulder. When ever I take her out first thing she does is go to my shoulder but other than that she's a tamed chill bird
My female cockatiel bites me or run away from me when I put my hands inside. But sometimes she allows me to blow hands on her. But while blowing hands she bites me gently. Can you help me?
My Brockie is 6 months, I'm trying to get him used to me, but I don't beileve he was handled much as a baby as he is timid, he is a cheeky little rascal but is scared of me How can I show him its OK so I can start to try and teach him step up
1:05 I hope that isn’t there permanent cage also the perches are plastic it’s not good for the little poor bird nail and feet :( the cage is also very small for two cockatiel specially
I bought a cocktail only one month he lived with me and fly and i didnt find him and again my bought for me 2 cocktails and they laid eggs two were fertile and now they become 4 now again on 19 april again they laid eggs ..
Hate the fact that most of this is negative reinforcement You should never keep your bird in its cage when it bites, blow on it or move your hand up an down while the 'tiel is perching The right thing you should do is just leave it in a solitary place while it calms down but NOT THE CAGE Like a play gym or what it has For example I bought a table perch for my tiel and that would be fine... Right?
My bird is a very stubborn one and a lil clumsy but he is also very kind and likes to talk a lot he likes to think he can scare me but nipping gently on my fingers but I just give him pets to know hey they don't scare me if he was trying to hurt me I would know I still got marks from the first day I got him which is roughly around 2 weeks ago which was my fault but he's such a gentle and talkative baby it hard to know how to get them used to being held or being around a larger figure he likes to fly round my room and some days he doesnt want to come out and just kinda sits in his food bowl which is on the open door it feels like I've had him all my life is weird to think is been so little I've had him
Very nice! I like them. 😊
Thank you :)
Me too

I am having the same problem
Never push ur hand into there belly guys they’ll just loose there balance and only go onto ur hand because they have no choice
exactly, they should step on your finger because of trust not force
Totally.. Also my cockatiel likes it when i blow on her

Awesome :)
Oh I have to tame tho
Really good video and so cute. I loved this!
This has help so much!
1:45 this is positive punishment, not negative reinforcement; positive = presentation of a blow; punishment = less biting occurring
Two years and I can't get to step 1 but I also do t have problems with biting ...they just run away -.- they eat the food i hold but they won't eat food out of my hand or step onto my fingers
try to work with them with no cage in the same room, dont fill their full boxes of food thru all day and night, give them breakfast and remove the food boxes, then train them one-two hours after that, then feed them after few hours, or during training with small rewards
Getting my cockatiel in 4 days!

But the thing is, I don't force my cockatiel to sit on my shoulder. When ever I take her out first thing she does is go to my shoulder but other than that she's a tamed chill bird
Sure he loves that, mine too, just dont let him do that in hours while you train him when he is young.
I need help. I have cockatiel and I tried this but he tries to bite me every time I approach his cage. What should I do?
Be patient and give him some food from your hand every day.
A. Blow on them
B. Just wait until they are in a better mood
I’m getting mine soon 😜
Awesome :)
i'm am going to get my cockatiel in four weeks.😃😆

Thats is a good explaining to give a proper train to your Cockatiels Thumbs up
I’ve had my tiel for about 2 months. All he does is run away. I’m out of ideas and don’t know what to do
my cockatiels r more scared and don't let me put my hand close to them how do I make it so they let me put my hand close
liked! thankyou for the video
Thank you friend :)
Why is your cage so small
Smaller cages are better for training b it should remain strictly for training
Great, they are so cute
Thank you
My female cockatiel bites me or run away from me when I put my hands inside. But sometimes she allows me to blow hands on her. But while blowing hands she bites me gently. Can you help me?
My cocktail is not sitting on my hand what i do it's going away from my hand 😢
He tries to bite me when I come near he is still in cage so I give him food am stick how do I tame him from that stage ?
You have a lot of eeveelution and other Pokemon!!! I love them!!!❤️
My Brockie is 6 months, I'm trying to get him used to me, but I don't beileve he was handled much as a baby as he is timid, he is a cheeky little rascal but is scared of me
How can I show him its OK so I can start to try and teach him step up
1:05 I hope that isn’t there permanent cage also the perches are plastic it’s not good for the little poor bird nail and feet :( the cage is also very small for two cockatiel specially
Cage is now much much bigger :)
And the perches are wooden

Awesome :)
@@parrotnest1 how to tame 1 month baby cocktail please reply
Nice and amazing loved it
Hate the fact that most of this is negative reinforcement
You should never keep your bird in its cage when it bites, blow on it or move your hand up an down while the 'tiel is perching
The right thing you should do is just leave it in a solitary place while it calms down but NOT THE CAGE
Like a play gym or what it has
For example I bought a table perch for my tiel and that would be fine... Right?
Thanks 😊🙏🏽very helpfull
You’re welcome 😊 Thank you :)
My bird is a very stubborn one and a lil clumsy but he is also very kind and likes to talk a lot he likes to think he can scare me but nipping gently on my fingers but I just give him pets to know hey they don't scare me if he was trying to hurt me I would know I still got marks from the first day I got him which is roughly around 2 weeks ago which was my fault but he's such a gentle and talkative baby it hard to know how to get them used to being held or being around a larger figure he likes to fly round my room and some days he doesnt want to come out and just kinda sits in his food bowl which is on the open door it feels like I've had him all my life is weird to think is been so little I've had him
That is great, he sounds very nice :)
Im so happy to train my cockatiels b
