I adopted 2 male cockatiels. The woman said they were friends and shouldn't be separated. Upon bringing them home I noticed one was plucking it's feathers, stressed, and his wing was messed up. The other one was healthy. The healthy one was stressing out the other one and making him pluck his feathers. I separated them, gave the healthy one up for adoption and now the stressed cockatiel is growing his feathers back and hasn't been plucking! :)

We had a Cockatiel for around a year...she was hand-bred. My mother was with her when she was suddenly making these clicking sounds in the nose. Not knowing what it was mum was instructed by the vet to place her in a box and take her to him, of which she did. Patch bit her just as she was passing her to the vet and she had to leave her in the box. The vet said that it was fine and he would look at her but at that time Patch had a fit and passed away. The vet wanted to do an Autopsy to find out what happened, but that would've cost alot. After 6 months passing, mum and I went to the pet shop and bought another hand-bred Cockatiel. We named her Patch (2) after our first Patch and she is also as lovely as the first. My mum says that they are all different and do different things and that life moves on. We hope you've bought another bird and have some company. Take care. P.S. We now have three Cockatiels of which are three different breeds and they bring us much joy.

Thanks heaps. I love my little mate Toffee (hes into EVERYTHING!) hes only just over 3 months and talks like a trooper. Cockatiels are just wonderful little birds.

My friend's bird would usually reach for your finger if she hasn't seen you before. She ends up grabbing your finger, lifting it to her beak, and will bite it. My friend says it's her way of tasting you to see if she trusts you.

YAY! thank you for this video! I just recently purchased my first bird, a cockatiel, and I've been trying to do my research on body language, but it hasn't been easy going. This explained a lot in a simple manner, so thank you! I now can tell he's been becoming much more content and is curious about me!

1:28 that southern accent tho

So, Trixie didn't order any cheerios with her meal, because she "didn't want any". Then when Milo's cheerios came, she tried to take some off of his plate. That checks out.

Excellent footage--very succinct and to-the-point footage that clearly demonstrate specific body language without any confusing extraneous materials. Thanks!

I like this video a lot. VERY informative since I have a cockatiel as well and wondered what his behaviors meant for the longest time so this helped me out quite a bit. Thanks for the info!

Thanks for the great videos. We just got out first tiel and know very little about them. People like you giving their time help people like me be a better mommy to a tiel.

wow thanhs alot,my female cockatiel had all of these behaviors and mostly i didn´t understand what she wanted,your video helped alot,thakks for quality videos and information,cause i´ve been seeking and only found yours,again thanks alot,!!

Oh! the part about crests being up or down makes sense! When I let my cockatiel into the backyard he had his crest up! Thanks for the information.

Awesome job with your videos Annie!!! I just love them and I am showing them on my bird show in my room today.

Thank you for posting this video! I recently got a small cockatiel and I wasn't sure of some of her behaviours, because it's been a while since I had a parrot :)

Hello from Lively, ON, Canada...thank you for sharing. I am getting to know my fairly new 3 month old (very shy) Cockatiel...we are just about at a comfortable level where we can work on trust as she will take a treat from my hand almost every time I offer...your video has helped me understand her behaviours a bit better.

This reminded me of all the cute things my little girl Spikie used to do. I've been debating on getting another bird for a while. This is soo true! Wonderful pets for responsible people only.

Very informative video. Thank you!

I never learn any of this, but somehow I recognize this behaviours and what they mean in my cockatiel

Thank you so much! That helped a ton. Whenever I take my cockatiels food and water bowl, they'll pace back and forth where it used to be! So cute. Now I know when she's relaxed and wants to be held. I never know the right time to pet her! Like if you think cockatiel are awesome!

My cockatiels used to head butt the side of my face when they wanted a scratching (while sitting on my shoulder of course).

wonderful video, thanks for only confirming about some behaviors I wasn't quite sure about. You have cleared up my doubts. You are a lifesaver for me at this moment and now I know my cockatiel is happy 😊 with me and completely healthy. 💯👌🏻😍♥️

Everything you said are perfectly matches as what my cocatiel do. Good Video. Very helpful 😊😊😊

I really like this. I used to have a female cockatel who I named Babie (that's how I spelled her name on purpose just to be different). What you have shown is very good. It's a good little educational video about cockatiel. As I watched this, I remembered Babie's behaviors. At least she loved me and I loved her. Had to give her away when I moved away from my folks' house. Maybe in the future, I'll be getting a cockatel or two.

Well done! Very informative. Thank you

This helps me to know more about cockatiels thank you

that beak maintenance was what I needed to hear, my female that I just got was making that noise and I have no idea whether it was a good thing or a bad thing

Thank you this will Help Fully Help me when i get my Cockatiel

This video helped me out so much! Thanks!

Thank you so much for giving all these tips.. it's very helpful. :)

Thank you so much, both Sid and Arthur who turned out to be Arthina lol display all these behaviours your video has explained all that i needed Cheers, Kerie

I'm pretty sure Cinna is a female, but we're going to wait until its tail feathers come in :).

The beak-grinding is similar to my bunny grinding his teeth when relaxed and comfortable.

My budgies do the beak grinding thing. It was worrying me before because I wasn't sure if they were cleaning their beaks or if there was something wrong. Good to know it's normal.

Thank you for the info. :-) My cockatiel likes to sing and dance. I have a radio that I play for him on occasion and he will let me know by behavior which stations he likes. Birds are just fun.

Thank you for the information I'm glad that my bird and nice and happy and not angry at me 😊

Ah, thanks! I recently bought one for my conure, he's 2 weeks old I didn't bring him home yet, online it says many stuff but not really much about these. I'll be studying these until I memorize them and will beware of his actions. I also have a 8 month old GCC if you were curious :D

ahh let us not forget the tail wobbling on the perch and the naughty noises they make

Thanks for the advice. Now I understand why my babies(cockatiels) behave that way

Cockatiels are the best! 😘💕💕💕💕

Thanks for saying about bird behaviour!

Very helpful thanks!

Very informative thanks you.

I really enjoyed this thanks

Thanks very helpful. 😊

very helpful .. thanks

We had a lutino. He did not like water baths at all. What he did enjoy was wet/dry curly hair baths. I have semi long naturally curly hair, and Wolf, my mom named him, loved to take a bath in my hair, it did not matter if it was wet or dry.

Our birb used to do these things. There are times I really miss her but she was a handful.

Love it, thank you!

When birds make a heart shape with their wings, it can also (probably) mean they want friendship. Rebecca Stout's cockatiel (Sunny) has made this to Onni (Male Cockatoo), and i think it was for friendship

Thankyou so much for this! I saw my adult bird doing something to our new cockatiel, watched for a bit and wasn't sure whether to be concerned or not. Hes kind of temperamental at the moment. I separated them after a minute, but come to find out he was preening her! *-* Though, I dont think they are ready to be in the same cage lol.

Helped a lot, thanks :*

Good information

Very informative!

Hi nice to meet you :) a very helpful and informative video appreciate this it was a big help.... I have two female cockatiels/wieros, they have been together for several years they were aggressive toward one another at first ...still show a bit of aggression but have calmed down a lot now....well the eldest bird was breathing really fast the other day not well at all...took her to the vet she is on antibiotics, think it may be due to being egg bound.... they drained some fluid from her, and I am now hoping that she will be able to get rid of the lump she has....they did say they could operate but with her being an old bird she most probably wouldn't survive....she has been on the antibiotics a couple of days now (only got a bit left) I gave her a warm bath which she seemed to appreciate....(vet said it might help too ) she has improved a lot...looking brighter, more perky, more active...still awkward in her movements obviously with the lump...she is eating and drinking etc.....is there anything that I could do to get rid of the egg or is it purely better to leave it to nature to hopefully take its course.... or leave it to the vet.... just wondered if you had any advice.... I dont want to lose her... and I certainly wont have her operated on knowing that I may lose her....or if she is quite happy as she is... she is a lovely bird, she lets me stroke her she trusts me so much.....the vet told us that they usually live 10-15 years.... we have had her for 18 years!!!!.... so she has had a good life....but hope to have a few more years with her if possible....sorry this is so long but just wanted to explain the situation and hope you can help me :) would appreciate it...thank you :) she is in a seperate cage, until she is stronger and hopefully full recovery....hope the other bird accepts her later on into the cage again could be territorial aggression then....so have thought about this too..... Thank you :) Have a nice day :) Magz :)

My cockatiel does all the things mentioned. Happy bird.

"Come and bow their head to you." This is a good thing.

New bird owners (who maybe don’t want to watch the entire video): Here are some tips: 1. Get a larger cage if your bird gets mad when you stick your hand in. The bird is territorial, and so it’s best to get a larger cage. You can get a good size cage for $60-$70 on Amazon. 2. Don’t stick your hand in often, and when you do (to put food/water in, or change the perches or toys,) wear something like a glove (so your hand won’t look like your hand) this way, the bird wont associate your hand with intrusion. 3. When the bird bites you, hold your hand still and do not move. No matter how much it hurts, you need to teach the bird that biting will not solve the problem. The bird just wants you to go away. If whip your hand back when it tries to bite you, that will teach it that biting you makes you go away. After it realizes that biting you won’t do anything, it will stop biting. 4. Let the bird come out of the cage on it’s own. Stay by the cage, talk to the bird, read to it, sing to it, etc. and after a few weeks, you’ll make significant progress. Do this one day: Put the birds favorite food outside of the cage and normal food/food it doesn’t like in the cage. Do this often. 5. Take baby steps! The bird won’t like you immediately. Trust takes time. Don’t try to rush! And don’t worry when the bird doesn’t like you immediately! Note: DONT TOUCH THE BIRD FOR THE FIRST WEEK!!! No matter how tempting it is, do not touch the bird. That will cause a lot of stress, and the bird could get sick or even die. On top of this, it will 100% ruin your relationship with the bird, and your bird will not want to be around you. Good luck! P.S. here is an excellent thread that I used when training my bird. It works like magic! www.parrotforums.com/general-parrot-information/49144-tips-bonding-building-trust.html

thanks, that was very useful:)
