seems like the crest is used similarly to how a cat uses its ears and tails as an indicator of its feelings/reaction to its environment, in some ways im meeting my grandmas cockatiel today, so im watching a bunch of videos to try and learn how to appropriately communicate with him, and your videos have been a huge help, so thank you so much! i have a strong feeling I'll have to teach my grandma and mom about Appropriate Petting, ahaha. the lil dudes apparently super cuddly, and i know my mom and i are cat people (and my grandma bred dachshunds for most of her life), so were gonna have to remember the reaction we'd normally default to isnt right for a bird

Hey Arvarius, If it's not all the way down then it's likely he is just focused on something. For example if you're giving him treats he will be focused on taking them! I wouldn't say its an indicator of him being sad unless it's like down ALL the time!

Hey there, That's not unusual at all. They are in a totally new environment and probably a bit confused and unsure what's going on. They need time to settle in.

I have other videos on cockatiel bonding/behaviour that may be useful!

I just got my first pet bird ever and He’s a rescue. He has been shrugging and I can not find out why. He is not hot, singing at the same time, or strutting. He has his wings clipped and has had them clipped for most his life if I understand correctly. He is about 8. This is also the first time He’s been in a cage the right size. Any ideas or thoughts on why he is are appreciated.

@TheParrotTeacher

Sorry if this is a silly question but what do you mean by shrugging? It’s also likely a bit of a culture shock for him and it’ll take him time to adapt to being in a new home with new people and in a big cage. I have videos on initial bonding that may help but otherwise give him time and space and ensure he has easy access to food and water

Just got a cockatiel today. Once we picked him up (we called him cookie), he stepped up from breeder's hand onto mine straight away. Then they put him onto my chest and it stayed there. The man was like yeah nah I could give you the box but you'll be alright holding him. For the most of the trip he was on my chest while I was giving him scritches. He didn't resist (until he got bored and wanted to get up the window which i let him do), he pecked me a little bit (did not hurt at all, he wasn't trying to hurt me) whenever I stopped. As i was scratching him he had his crest all the way down, but he was not trying to get away and just kept closing his eyes in relaxing way etc. Does it mean it was focused on getting scratches or what?:D I can say this is a first birb I got knowing that they are not toys xDD Though I keep reading about behaviours and stuff I still worry since I want to make him a happy birb. I know it is gonna take a while for him to get used to us, he is a good boi xDD The whole day ha preens his feathers, eats and sleeps xDD He is also fluffed up almost all of the time and stands on one leg even when he is not sleeping. And he watches me ALL the time x) Should I be worried or this is alright?

Hey Valery, So he's a very young little man and likely only just weened. If he is acting normally, eating, drinking, preening etc then you don't have too much to worry about. The little guy is probably a bit confused and nervous of his new surroundings. I think many of the questions you've asked will be answered by taking a peek at a few of my other videos! But my advice would be to let him settle in, watch him carefully and interact with him on his terms. IE. don't push interactions and let him decide the pace!

Some pellets are high in sugar, wheat and salt so it depends on what kinds of pellet she is getting. We usually use TOPPS and Harrisons as they have the best ingredients! Also fruit every day may not be the best, again due to the sugar issue! Ideally, you'll want to be giving around 10-20% seed, 20% pellets and the rest vegetables, a little fruit, herbs, sprouts etc!

Hi I'm having a extremely hard time taming my cockatiel, he is always terrified, he doesn't want to fly, he is just standing on his ladder looking at himself in a mirror, he is afraid of sticks and a clicker, turning lights on and off, hand is like a gun pointing at him, and I have him for two months for now, I can lure hum with food to come up to me and even step up on my hand but as soon as I move food away he would just go back or even try to bite the hand, he is aggressively hissing when hand is near cage not in it. He doesn't know how to leave the cage, neither to go back in it. I live in a family of 4 people and he only step up on my hand and he is trying to sing but it sounds like he is learning it, btw I got him from a pet store, even my mother can't reach out to him, she has 14 years of experience with cockatiels and we are desperate we need help.

@TheParrotTeacher

3 жыл бұрын

Hey Nikola, So it sounds like a difficult situation. You can still target train without a clicker and use smaller sticks. However as you have had some success bonding with him you should continue with just positive reinforcement training. You could also try having him step up onto a short perch if hands are an issue. It also sounds like he needs lots of de sensitisation work with hands around the cage. I have a video on bonding that may be worth watching. Ultimately my tips are : Continue working on bonding and de sense Try target training again Have him step up onto a perch if hands are an issue Remove the mirror as it encourages hormones and aggression If you are really struggling me and my partner run a consultancy related to bird behaviour called best behaved birds (link in description)
