Thanks! He’s slowing down and having a little trouble seeing clearly (so he doesn’t fly anymore) but he seems to be happy. We hope to post about his 33rd birthday around Valentines Day in 2025. Every day is a blessing with Bernie. Thanks for watching.
Aw, thanks. You can see his age in the skin above his beak and his somewhat arthritic feet. But at age 32 (as of last month) he moves around like a young bird-he just sleeps more than he used to.
Just found out about bernie today, can't beleive he's so adorable and happy even at this age while being older than me! Wishing him a long and wonderful life ahead of him! 💖
I get the feeling of not wanting to make videos. Thank you for sharing him with us, updates once in a while would be wonderful to see! I'm happy that old Bernie is doing fine - My youngin, one-and-a-half years old, cockatiel, Zavala, finally got cleared of lymphoma after a false diagnosis in January and is doing fine, so maybe he'll be cool with being a senior like Bernie one day! Blessings to you all
Yes, you’re right. I’ve said pretty much everything I wanted to say about Bernie and I have several other family video projects that need attention. I was truly stunned by the loving attention he received. Maybe sometime in the future… That false diagnosis must have given you quite a scare. I hope Zavala continues to do well and has a long and happy life. Blessings to you.
I only just found Bernie, I would of loved to share his life with him. I am so sad to hear of your decision of not making any more videos of him I enjoyed watching him very much and hope you change your mind
Thank you for all your awesome videos and wisdom Bernie. I hope you and your family are blessed with many years of health and happiness. I hope you still make the odd video here and there. Be well Frank
At 1 month! He probably never wanted you to be out of his sight. 22 years is a good, long life for a cockatiel. They are so special, aren’t they. Sorry for your loss.
Bernie is still among us. His mum (me) has accomplished what we wanted to do-share a little about this lovely bird before it was too late for either of us.
We love Bernie! 💕 We will be back rewatching your videos now and then even if you don’t post anymore. Bernie is an inspiration, and we hope our bird will also live a long, healthy, and interesting life ☀️ Be happy and healthy, little Bernie 🤗🦜
Thank you! It’s been fun sharing Bernie with other cockatiel lovers. We’re enjoying Happy trying new foods, exploring new places, and having a full and interesting life. Go Happy! You’re great with him!
👍 como siempre Bernie es un genio, al final he visto a su papá y a su mamá 🤗, tienen un pajarito muy bueno, y muy gracioso, me gustan mucho sus vídeos, Bernie que tengas un Feliz Año 2023, junto a tu familia 🤗👍
I totally understand the reason for not making videos. I'm just glad Bernie is okay. There are very very few things of happiness or releif left in my life. Bernie and seeing him living happy and healthy is one of them. Lots of love to Bernie and his parents. Take care❤️
Oh my. We thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your kind words. We’re glad that you found a connection to Bernie. I hope your two lutinos are bringing you happiness and that they live long and healthy lives. Be well.
I'm happy and sad at the same time right now. Sad because my friend, Bernie, is leaving ("for now") and happy because everything is fine with Y'All. I lost my baby girl, a beautiful hen named Fran, last September. She took a huge piece of my heart with her departure, she had a liver condition and was 12 1/2 yo. Finding Bernie was a breath of fresh air in my loneliness. I love to watch and rewatch Bernie's videos. He's absolutely adorable, handsome, and sweet. I also love the messages in your videos! I found them calming and inspiring. I wish Y'All all the best! May God shower his choicest blessings on all of you! Love you, Bernie! xxxx
Oh, Thomas, that’s so moving. Our birdies truly become family members-they are so smart, sweet, joyful, and loving. Because Bernie is so old, and we have been blessed with him for so long, I wanted to make sure his charming spirit was shared with others. I’m so glad he touched your life. He’s been an inspiration for us too. May you find peace and joy, especially as holidays approach. Thanks for being a Bernie advocate. God bless you.
Thank you so much for sharing Bernie with us. My cockatiel Sammy is 20 years old and sometimes I worry about how old she's getting, but seeing how bright and active Bernie is in his old age has been very inspiring! I hope you and Bernie continue to have many happy and blessed days to come.
Thank you. I had no idea that Bernie would be around so long but I’m glad he is. All I’ve noticed is that he sleeps more and his wings hang lower when he walks. But he’s just as happy as ever. I hope Sammy stays happy, healthy, and active many years. Fortunately she has someone to love and care for her. Best wishes!
Thank you Bernie! YOU & your hoomans are a blessing in todays world. Be safe & happy & hope to see you again. God bless you all! My cockatiels, Bailey & Jesse ( a rescue) always cheep when I play your videos. Much love from New Hampshire❤️
Abia l-am descoperit pe Bernie și trebuie să mă despart de el... dar mă voi gândi tot timpul la el că e sănătos și fericit și de câte ori vreau mă pot uita la videoclipurile lui oricând... vă iubesc Dumnezeu să vă binecuvânteze ❤️😘 Vă trimit o parte din puterea mea și din gândurile mele frumoase
Bernie a fost un mare mare norocos când l-ai adus la tine acasă... a avut o viață minunată cu așa o mamă minunată 👍 Păcat că sunt doar atât de puțini abonați care au ce învăța din videoclipurile tale Mulțumim
I wish I had a definitive answer. We usually just fed him seed mix, millet, and honey treats-not pellets as they often recommend. He was never too interested in eating our food. He’s always been integrated into our daily activities, from breakfast, to working at home (I had a graphic design business for 30 years so clients would come to my home). We never left him alone for more than a day and a half because he relies on seeing me every day. He was hand fed by the pet store when we got him at 8 weeks so he immediately bonded with me although he’s very social with other people and animals. I’ve lived in 2 different places and he seemed to adapt. I think the primary thing is we are always aware of his presence, so we don’t slam doors or roll our chairs without looking. He has no idea how vulnerable he is, so we have to be alert. I certainly never expected to have him this long, but he’s been a real joy and I am grateful. I just had to share a few videos of him with the world. Thanks for asking-and watching.
Although this is only the second video I am watching from Bernie, (and you answered the comment I made on the first one. Tks!), I already feel I am a big fan and I love Bernie already. I've had several cockatiels in my life and other kinds of birds from the wonderful parrot family. I can totally relate to many of the safety tips you've given and I can't thank you enough for being the kind of people you are, which shows in your love and care for this wonderful creature. My 16-yr-old female, lutino cockatiel has a 5-yr-old albino male friend; but he's a little rough on the sides!!! (LOL) I'm also very careful with them. When they have to stay by themselves in the house, I leave them in their cage to avoid any hazards. Again, it is so encouraging and rewarding to see that there's people who love their pets so much and include them in their lives. Now I know why Bernie has lived for so long: he is very much loved and he knows it!!! Many blessings!!! 🙂
Their cage is definitely the best place when you are gone. That’s where they feel safe (as long as they don’t get bored). Bernie’s room is bird-proof so we let him choose where to relax in his room when we’re gone. At his age, he’s entitled. He rarely chooses his cage. We recently visited some friends for a day and a half, and put a security camera on him, and we could talk to him if needed. He was soooo excited when we returned. I think we were more stressed than he was. Birds certainly become a part of the family. Non-bird people don’t realize how smart and friendly they can be-and how attached we get to them. Thank you for being a Bernie fan. Blessings to you.
It's important to spend time away from UA-cam and enjoy the company of pets and family, So I fully respect your choice and hope you're doing good. Hope Bernie is feeling great with his 32nd birthday on the horizon!
Thank you. Bernie is moving slow but still happy and chirping. We plan to celebrate his 32nd birthday around February 14 with some new video and photos. Have a warm and wonderful day.
@@berniebirdblessings I understand. Thank you so much for all the love you have shared with us. 💕❤ I wish you both a wonderful retirement! 🙂Goodbye all pressure, welcome endless leisure. 😃👍
@berniebirdblessings I really have to thank you for introducing us to Bernie. He is too special. Take good care of him. My parrot is 9 years old and I already feel like I barely see any similarly aged parrots on social media and it worries me. Everyone wants to get a parrot- especially when people are young. But aside from being unbelievably cute, Bernie gives me something to aspire to for my bird, a long and happy life. Please keep us updated on him 🙏❤️
You’re most welcome. I may give an update at some future date, we’ll see. Taking care of a bird is a real commitment because they do live longer than most pets and rely on us to keep them safe and give them regular attention. But they are so smart and loving, they’re worth it. Best wishes to your and your parrot. I hope you enjoy each other’s company for many years.
@berniebirdblessings Thank you! I'm sure I'm not the only one here who has come to love Bernie. I can only hope to get some regular updates on Bernie and company, even if it's yearly. In the meantime, take care, friend :) 🙏❤️
He’s really fine, Julie. I pretty much shared what I wanted to share about this special birdie. I was stunned and thankful that so many people, like you, grew attached to him. But making these videos is a lot of work and it just got a little overwhelming for me-not Bernie. I will probably make one more video to celebrate his 31st birthday around Valentine’s day next month. Thank you for your concern and for being a Bernie fan.
@@berniebirdblessings ,😁 I was watching your video,last for now, and I'm very happy that Bernie is good.🙏 God bless Bernie and his family (u and else). I like your Bernie very much. He is smart, funny and beautiful birdie.❤️ I wish Bernie to live for a long time and to have his happy life for many years.
I just found this channel, and WOW! I can't believe this lil' fella are 32 years old! Good job family! ❤
Thanks! He’s slowing down and having a little trouble seeing clearly (so he doesn’t fly anymore) but he seems to be happy. We hope to post about his 33rd birthday around Valentines Day in 2025. Every day is a blessing with Bernie. Thanks for watching.
I am going to miss Bernie so much. Thank you for all the wonderful videos. ❤️ ❤️
Thank you. It’s been a joy sharing them with so many lovely people.
Bernie to me looks young
He doesn't look older at all
Bless his Heart
❤❤❤❤❤❤

Thanks! Even when he’s old and tired he’s Mr. Personality. Enjoy every moment.🕊️
I’ve just found out about bernie today and just saw that video, He’s one of the cutest cockatiel I’ve found on this platform
Thank you. He’s still happy and healthy, but sleeps a lot in his old age. Thanks for your comment and for watching.
@@berniebirdblessings He's a very strong bird! ❤
Wish long happy life ❤ and thank for your good comments how to look after your cocktail bird ❤

i have a pair of senior cockatiels and they are the light of my life.
That’s wonderful! Non-bird people have no idea how smart and social they are. May you all continue to light up each others’ lives.
I have enjoyed spending streaming time with Bernie! Thanks for sharing him and his words of wisdom. 🕊️
You’re welcome. I’m glad his presence will live on even longer than he does. He’s still happy and healthy.
God Bless❤
Thank you.💕
I will miss you Bernie. 😭🐣🐥❤
That’s sweet.
Such a lovely birb
Thank you!
Take all thge time you need, I hope you and bernie spend a lot more years together.
Thank you. Be well.

Aww, I'm really going to miss you both and these amazing videos you've been making.
Thank you for everything and God bless you both. ❤️
Thank you!. We enjoyed being part of the bird-loving community. God bless you.
Had my little guy for 22 years. 🙂 Got him at 1 month old. ❤️
At 1 month! He probably never wanted you to be out of his sight. 22 years is a good, long life for a cockatiel. They are so special, aren’t they. Sorry for your loss.
