- 'tis the season of gift giving but I'm here to explain why cockatiels ( or any animal in general ) should NOT be under your Christmas tree as a gift. ever.
cockatiels are high maintenance and require a lot more time, effort, energy and money than you think so hopefully this video can play as a warning to those who think ' cockatiels are easy and cheap' because OH BOY.
feel free to check out my other cockatiel videos: • BIRD TINGZ

Great video. Earlier this year in March I stumbled across a little cockatiel in the Coles carpark I shop at. She was sitting on the car next to me and thought it was strange. When I got out of the car she hopped off and flew under my car. I figured if she was still there when I got back from shopping, I would pick up the little girl and look after her. When I got back from shopping, I picked her up and put her on the passenger seat of my car. As I was driving home, she walked across the middle console and climbed up my shirt and hopped on my shoulder. At this stage I didn't know what I was doing, and I put her in a box until the next day when I spent money on a cage. Unfortunately, in those early days, I spooked the little precious thing trying to catch her when she was flying around my living room and no longer will go on my finger. But she's such a little sweet thing. She sits on my shoulder every night and gets lots of scritches and she's just the best. I hope to get her to go on my finger again one day but if she chooses not to, that's fine. I'm going to do my best to give her the best life she can, she's a little sweetheart. What you said at the end of the video really is true, because this little sweet thing would have either got hit by a car, or eaten by a cat, and would not have survived. She's great company!
You didn't try to look for the owner??
I think it definitely has a heartbroken owner somewhere.
@@yeetnama9094 The car park is on the corner of one of the busiest intersections in Melbourne in a semi industrial area. I don't think I wouldv'e ever been able to find her owner. I was just so worried that she would get hit by a car and for her welfare
No they usally with a BIRD dont look for an owner, if a dog or cat depending how cute or breed..depends on if they get returned..my african grey and my afgahn hound and my common cat, and mutt dog.( separate escapes) ( over 5 years and dif situations) luckily, my grey, re escaped.my afgan the person was spotted walking him ( rare breed for my state) my " mutts" got retuned.i dont know why people choose to keep a lost bird or pure bred dog? Adopt not shop lo. All mine came from rescues
Poor thing, what type of cockatiel was it?
I just got a cockatiel today! My mom was the one who wanted it. My mom has had a cockatiel and she is obsessed! She has been doing so much research and begging my dad. Her name is daily and she’s still getting used to us!!
I’m still gonna get my hubby a cockatiel for Christmas and I did my research of all my lifestyles changes, house changes.. but honestly EVERY pet is expensive if you take great care of them.. I have a dog, cat and fish so far. My biggest worry is my cat and the bird. Found my avian vet, got my cage, got my toy kit from Elle and the birds here on RUclips, new pots, no live plants, books on cockatiels, print outs, money for food and chop ingredients, etc..I think I’m ready! No matter how much you prepare yourself. I spent $900 on items for my puppy when I first got her and STILL needed more things, mostly because I am a over-buyer. I say if you want a bird..get a bird but do your research you will never be truly ready same as having a baby!
Thank you for this video! This issue definitely needs to be addressed, especially during Christmas time! All animals should be researched before being bought, and birds end up being rehomed so often because of the lack of education!
Thank you for doing this I couldn’t agree with you more. Bird ownership is high maintenance responsibility that really children are not capable of attending to.
100%
I’ve had a boy for 15+ years, it’s the equivalent to having a 2 year old child… energy overload, expensive toys, gets into everything, gotta hide to eat snacks or else he’s trying to reach in your mouth while you’re taking a bite, if you tell him “no” he does it more because you just made him mad, and then he screams if he can’t find you or if he’s not getting his way 😅
Lmao I’m sorry that’s a little annoying but also hilarious 😆 especially loved the bit of him screaming when he can’t find you haha
Thank you so much for making this video! Hopefully it saves some tiels and gets them into a better home! I have been visiting my tiel over a few months and he comes home soon, so excited!
I've got two little tiels since 2015/2016. They'd been on a diet of seed mix mixed with egg food (we call it "eivoer" in Dutch but I guess it's a natural protein mix) until 2018, with added vitamin drops to their water. In 2018 I found out that pellets are indeed a way healthier option, so I first went for those instead. My birbs are picky with fruits and vegetables, but I first always look up what they can and can't eat. I found out that I'd been shamefully ignorant about what to feed them for the first few years and my parents were also ignorant until I yelled at them for almost feeding my birds avocado not knowing that it's deadly for them and not caring to look it up. The birbs are healthy and happy tho, I even got compliments on it from my avian vet. So regardless of it being "yet another bird video", it is really important for people to know beforehand what they're getting themselves into if they're getting birds for pets.
That cockatiel is beautiful!!!! Amazing pattern!!!!!
I Love your cockatiel content!! I learned so much I was a girl who got a cockatiel on impulse but you and others helped get my cockatiel on point . I love her but def not a impulse buy!
Just adopted my 2nd cockatiel! From a local rescue
love to see a new bird video🤍🤍absolutely obsessed with ur aesthetic and ur birds🤍🤍🤍
Many years ago when i was a little Child, i got Guinea pigs As a christmas gift (i know Piggies Are whole different than cockatiels). But i am glad to say that they didn't return to the petshop. i was the happiest Child on earth, the first several days i kept sitting beside the cage, talking to them And Piggies stuck to me to now😄
I even Have one particular Piggie that doesn't even run From me anymore (although it's deep in their instincts) 😆
I found a wounded and starving cockatiel in my backyard last month, took it home , fed it and shared the bedroom with it,
refuse to be caged, no problems bonding with humans, craves 24 hour attention.
I have a galah and researched and studied on them for 3 years before getting one and now have had him for 2 years and he is very spoilt with all healthy nutrition and starting to flight train him and he’s such an amazing boy, but my main tip is do ur studying bc it helps a lot with containing their biting and aggression xx
Everything you said in this video is 100% on point!!
We once rescued a tiel, who got loose from home, and she would freeze, so we took her home. We had cats, and also didn't want them to hurt the little tiel, so we put the cats far away from the parrot.(the cats are not inside the house, they never are)
I started caring for her, because she was feeling lonely, and we took her to our old friend, who was an expert in all kinds of birds. She said, that if she wouldn't get company, she would pass away. So this christmas, we bought her a young 9 months old male, and they love each other. I am so proud, that I got her a parrot, because she doesn't feel lonely at all. Also, when she was struggling to accept us, I usually spent my time with her, I read books out loud, watch the tv, listen to music and dance. Since then, we grew so much, and with the male(called Zazu), they have an awesome time, and now she(called Pepper) accepts us and doesn't look at us like an enemy.❤️❤️
Thanks for your tips, and vids, we will just start our wonderful journey with Zazu. Prayers and lots of love @saeshell ❤️❤️
Thank you for info on these guys you explained it really well and were fun to listen too
Have been doing the reasearch Still i really look forward to having this charter in my life ❤
I’ve done so much reasearch and reading!! This video is awesome I got my baby this Christmas but I am all set and the cage and everything
same i got them as a gift but i want to give them all the attention of the world 🌺and I hopefully will be consistent
Great video thank you 🙏 for sharing … my daughter just got her third pet last week (2 cockatiels and 2 budgies) we are trying to take videos also . I agree you need to take good care and love them and I am glad my daughter is doing those for them.
How do I ween my cockatiel off of seed. The previous owner only fed seed. She doesn’t seem to want the natural pellets. She does love fresh herbs. But that seems to be all she will eat besides the seed.
My problem is that people go for birds and Reptiles when they don’t want a 10-20 year commitment to a Dog or a cat. When a lot of birds and reptiles and outlive that period. They are high maintenance animals who need a LOT more than what petco and petsmart say they do.
YES, there is literally no such thing as a ‘low maintenance pet’ if you are caring for them correctly, there’s high maintenance pets and higher maintenance pets. This whole thing of “yeah, I wasn’t ready for the responsibility of a dog/cat so I got a bird/hamster/bunny/whatever” is SO ridiculous. And don’t even get me started on the whole “I got a small enclosure because I’m short on money right now”, like, if you can’t afford tot are care of your pet properly you shouldn’t be getting the pet!
would you recommend for a 16 year old? my mom & dad go to work so they’ll only have a little bit of time to care for the bird. me & my 3 siblings also spend time in school for 7 hrs so would the cockatiel be okay before i come home?
my parents and I had two cockatiels one after the other from 2011-2015 and I did almost all the regular care. We got all the sutible supplies and my first one came with her cage. I did most of the research. I was 11-15 and I took great care of them.
I got my flight cage for free along with 3 budgies! just have to make sure you’re looking at the right place, atm my cockatiel is very happy since he’s out for almost 8 hours a day too and has free flight 😪
thankyou for this video! i am thinking of getting one but doing a ton of research before doing it, i have 6 budgies as well , they will be in different flight cages but i dont know what to expect , its my first time i just want to give it the best life ever!
9:42 This is the majority of the population. I have lost pretty much all faith in humanity at this point. Saw it first hand when I was going to an animal sanctuary in Spain almost daily for a months. A UK couple and their two children said how much they loved birds however when they entered I said you need to be careful of 1 cockatoo. This cockatoo had the worst upbringing, plucked all her chest feathers and I was the only one at the sanctuary that she would somewhat tolerate (it took 2 months for her just to take food from my hand). Very psychologically broken. Kid proceeds to feed bird by throwing food on the floor and I said please don’t try to pet her. She will bite. Kid ignores and then gets bitten and cries and tells parents “I don’t like that one it shouldn’t be here”. I’m on 30 but this is the way children are being brought up. Even my parents screwed me up but being autistic I had to navigate things myself.
Don’t get me started on UK families owning birds. Went to an animal sanctuary near broxbourne and the birds were a magnitude worse than the one in Spain. Much much worse horror stories. I’ve been bit by cockatoos, macaws, African greys, etc but people have no idea and think it’s a toy. I really hate this planet….
I might be getting one soon so this helps so much 😭 ty
Up! This video is so, so, so important
I got a bird as a gift for my bday when I was 11. I can tell you the whole story but it's LONG, she got moved around alot and also was on an all seed diet. Was in a small cage, then got a bigger one from the prev owner, then she had to move out of the room and had to return to the smaller cage she got at first, the toys indeed were bells and a mirror. I still used the big cage for bringing her outside, then my dad sold it without even discussing it with me, so i just left her outside in the small cage. Later got her a bigger cage, but it still was too small. Her behavior was getting different and then she died, turned out she was sick. I did love my bird, but I never knew all these pet store reccomendations were actually BAD for the bird. She knew how to do a flip tho that was cool lmao, also knew how to OPEN HER OWN CAGE????? I couldn't agree more when you say BIRDS AREN'T GIFTS!!!! It's a living creature and it NEEDS good care just like us humans do
I think birds in general is a bad idea because you force this animal on your family (if you treat it properly and you let it out) I got cockatiel and he does poop everywhere, some people can be allergic or become, its not like any other animal I had till now.
My bird was rehoused three times before I got it because it was gifted to people that did not know how to care for it so we got her and are currently trying to get her to trust people again SO PEOPLE PLEASE DO NOT GIFT BIRDS!
Amazing video I'm getting a bird very soon so I'm getting as much research as I can like watching videos but I'm also doing th research my self so this very helpful
I have a question… I have an elderly cockatiel, got it from a person who had him for 7 years, they got him from an estate sale, guesting he’s at least 10… ok, I got him a huge cage, plenty of toys, and he gets lots of attention, BUT he was on an all seed diet with his former owners, and he refuses to eat the pellets. I’ve even tried to crush them and hide them in his seed, but he just won’t touch it. Matter of fact, he loves the millet and sunflower seeds most. Recently (I’ve had him now for 7 months) he’s began to eat some spinach… by some I mean he’ll take around 10 bites off a leaf.
He doesn’t seem to want to even try apples or cucumbers or carrots or berries.
So the question is, do you have any suggestions?
i just got my cockatiel whats ment to be 9-10 weeks old and he seems to be to big for that age and his red spots on his cheeks are really dull.. is this a sign hes older then what she has said he was?
i got animals gifts before but normally I'm ready for them. my first gift was two three year old chickens and I still have one today and she's like 7-8 years old which is old for a chicken. next gift was a puppy for Easter which was planned like 8 weeks ahead and we needed a new dog anyways. my sister got cats for her birthday and we needed farm cats. at one point there was a old hamster that need a new home and we adopted it and it was considered an early Christmas present.
I got two cockatiels from someone who didn't want their cockatiels anymore and they were given to me on my birthday it took probably about a couple weeks before I could give them a bigger cage and more toys now they're happy and healthy.
need help with my cockatiel
I've done research on Budgies for years and I'm learning on Cockatiels now. I'm waiting for everything to be set and ready before I get the bird. Like the cage, once it's fully setup with the right things, once I bird proof my room, once Ive learned everything I need such as food, taming, sickness, moods, and so on.
But I'm confused about something. So Budgies (from my knowledge) need about a week or two alone in the cage to understand the surroundings and you. You could rub your finger on the cage and such so they can get used to you.
But is that the same with cockatiels? If so, how long do I need to wait until they're okay with their surroundings?
What do I do when I first get it?
And how soon should I let it out the cage so it can fly freely in my room?
So,.. question. What do you do if your cockatiels refuse to eat fruit and veg, like we give them seeds in the cage and we’ll do a plate with fruits and veg chopped up small,.. they’ve never touched it.
Love your vids I missed your bird vids
Love your videos!!!
Where did you get ur birds from?
Yes! Birds are for life and are not gifts/ toys!
I have 4 parakeets after ten years ago I had both. I didn't know what I know now about birds. The internet wasn't like it was back in the 90s. Keets needs all the same things pretty much. My newest keet is 1 going on 15. He's hormonal all the time. I had a disco ball had to remove it. Love the video by the way. Out of the 4 keets I own one doesn't like me wants nothing to do with me. So I've been figuring out how to have her out of the cage and go back in the cage she usually likes to stay in the cage. I've had to take her cage apart. Now there in a flight cage all 4 of them. 2 females and 2 males. My youngest male is more hormonal than she is. I just spent over 50 bucks on new toys. New perches.
I do need a nail trim for one of them and I'm not a pro at home to do it so need to make an appointment for the vet.
Great vid. Pets are a huge commitment. If you ever visit Canberra, give us a yell if you want to swing by & meet our refugee Charlie.
All parrots are life long learners and explore the world destructively with their beak. If you do not have a burning desire to devote 4 hours PLUS to this small avian dinosaur EVERY DAY (365 of them in every year) do not consider getting any parrot (and yes that includes budgies)
Our cockatoo was suddenly given to us. Thorough the 3 year we had have him, we noticed a white cloud on the eye, now he’s got the white spots on both eyes. 😢
Thanks for the video. Sometimes people (adults) don't understand the commitment that comes with having a cockatiel.
I'd like to add:
- They're fragile animals, not like a dog or a cat. It's very easy to hurt them (or worse) by accident, imagine that guilt for a child, or someone who's not prepared. Imagine how that little animal can suffer.
- They live for many years if they're well cared for, and it's not an animal compatible with others (you can try, but it's very risky). If in the future you want another pet that could be a predator for your birds, you'll have to wait until the bird is gone.
My parents gave me one when I was 11 years old. I'm 25 now, I moved into an apartment alone, and my life revolves around keeping my cockatiel quiet and not having problems with the neighbors. Those who have cockatiels know that they're very dependent and if they lose sight of you for 2 seconds they panic and scream, they scream loudly, at least mine's like that. Animals aren't allowed here, but I couldn't leave him with my parents, if the one who gave him love and attention for 14 years was me. So I'm trying to make things work.
I love my little dinosaur, but I wish my parents had made proper research. Having a bird is a responsibility that should be assumed by an adult, not a child.
my parents and i had two cockatiels before, and i was the one who took care of them mostly
Very helpful.... thanks.
I'm feeding my cockatiel a combo of simple seed (in the morning for breakfast) and wild harvest w/bird greens (for dinner). Is this okay or do you think I need to get actual veggies and fruit?
Birds need a lot of variety, even if you are feeding them pellets (which is far healthier for them than seed) they still need lots of vegetables and little bit of fruit, so obviously it’s even more so if it’s just seed. The chop should be 80% veg and 20% fruit every day.
I had a cockatiel when I was a kid. My brother brought him home from a friend because his friend couldn't care for him because they were moving. He was the first bird and only bird we've ever owned. I found him to be a fun and friendly companion. He would lower his head to my hand and nudge it, giving a soft chirp. That was his way of saying that I would enjoy some pets, so I would of course give him some. We had him a good two years before he sadly died. I think if I ever got another bird, a cockatiel would be one of my choices. I always remember him when I think about cockatiels even if it's been more than 30 years since he died.
Hi Saeshell happy Sunday afternoon and I hope you having amazing day today and I loved your vlogs and you are amazing Supporter
My cockatiels aren’t as bad as my Sun Conures, you need to know how to treat them! I love my birds.
sorry I saw this video too late now I have 2 beautiful cockatiels I love you 🤎😁😁🤍
I like this grayscale bird
When I try to give my bird a toy to play with or some fruit she starts running away of angst. I don't know why she is so scared? Does it have something to do with me? When i let my bird out she immediately flies back on top of her cage and she will not stop screaming unless i give her the seeds. She wil NOT eat anything else. How do i fix this?
beautiful facts
My husband and I grew up with farms and almost every pet you could think of. We met at 13 so we got to experience eachothers pets that one or the other wouldnt have wanted on their own. My husband help sell animals at exotic fairs with his mom and met some really cool people growing up.
However, with that we have seem some nasty living conditions.
Nasty water is always abundantly a problem.
Really I don't understand this of all the things we do as mistakes. I'm not perfect but it's seems to me any one should know to give a living thing clean water when the container is slimy. I just don't understand this being so overlooked. Now if you're a child or something and just a beginner I get the confusion about how often to clean bowels, etc. But experienced licensed breeders/exotic owners I don't understand. We check chickens water on the regular. Why isn't it the same for our other birds?
love love love !
I think any animal can be a good gift. BUT only if you are getting it for a person you KNOW has researched the animal and has space/time for that specific animal.
Thanks for the video learned a lot. Would you still recommend getting the bird at a young age is the best choice?
I personally wouldn’t unless your parents were their to heavily supervise very young children and would be fully and accurately caring for the bird until the child was old enough to do it themselves AND so long as you either have a plan to move out with your bird when you go to university or your parents are okay to look after it. Birds live for decades, cockatiels are on the shorter end of the lifespan spectrum and even they live for more than 15 years, so even if you got them when you were old enough to take care of them, they would very likely live into the time when you would be in post secondary school. Plus, even if you CAN take them with you to university/college, you very well might not be able to take care of them anymore because the schooling is very arduous and you might be working as well.
I rescued one two weeks ago. It is probably 2-3 months old, so pretty much a baby.
It’s been a fun ride so far, although i feel like I can’t understand what it is communicating half of the time. Managed to get it to jump on my finger and follow me around the house (screaming like a mofo tho) by giving it some treats.
The problem i have rn is that it got used to eating seeds all day. I’ve been giving him carrots and some other greens, but the dammed thing loves the seeds way too much. Can anyone help?
U are the best!
I got my pair of cockatiels 1.5 months back. male and female. they look atleast 6 months old. i give them healthy soft food , fresh water twice a day, minaral blocks and mixed seeds. they are happy and make a few sounds but they have not started singing yet. i am getting impatient looking at your cockatiels singing songs so nicely. When did your cockatiels start singing ?? tell me about ur experience please.
this upsets me.
firstly, every cockatiel is different. they all have different personalities so because you see mine being cute, doesn’t mean yours will be. secondly, female cockatiels are not known to sing ( sometimes they whistle a tune but it’s rare ) so getting impatient and only wanting your cockatiels for their ability to sing makes me mad, did you even watch this video? they’re living creatures that require 15+ years of love, enrichment and proper care. you’ve had your baby cockatiels for a month and a half and you’re already annoyed because they aren’t like the ones you see online.
it takes time to bond with them, it takes time to earn their trust and they won’t start singing until they’re mature and in a loving environment.
@@saeshell Thank you for your reply. Guess i have to wait and keep providing a good environment for them. I am not annoyed with them. You got that part wrong. I love them. When i see other cockatiel singing i get impatient. i cant wait for my babies to sing. but that doesnt make my love any less for them.
30 years… my vet sees one that’s 37
Thanks😂
my bird doesn't have many toys and the ones I do manage to get him, he tends to ignore. I am a minor so I can't just go to the store to get him a variety of things so what can I do? My parents are very hesitant with getting him new things even though he doesn't have much because he tends to ignore them and they don't want to waste the money. I do have him outside the cage as much as possible but any tips anybody can give me for keeping him happy I will be very grateful for. He is my son and as soon as I move out I am bringing him and giving him a huge life improvement.
I have a blind cockatiel and I have other cockatiels that can see. Is it a good idea to put them in the same cadge
I'm not a blind cockatiel expert but it kind of depends if the other cockatiels like you're blind cockatiel and it might be helpful for the bird to have a friend so it can find the food by listening to the other birds but maybe keep them separate for now and if they like each other then you could possibly put them together.
and poor little bird I hope you give it a good life
@@thebirdmaster7 thank you
what if i still want one after the entire video...
I wish I could show this to my mum last year because I did like research on a cockatiel for months almost a year and my family grew up with birds but my mum idk I got a bird for my birthday and I was so happy I was lettting him settle in his name was Charlie and my mum decided to rush it all and let him out the cage about 3-4 hours after we got him I complained to my mum about it but she said it was fine so I still tried to get him used to the house and I gave him a good diet but he wasn’t used to my whole house yet and ended up flying head first into a wall and got brain/head damage so I spent my time with him and he passed away in my sleep it was really sad
a family i babysat for had two budgies in a tiny pest store cage with just seed and dowel perches that obviously always stayed in the cage and I was just like 😀
Yeah, that’s probably one of the biggest things that people don’t prepare you for about baby/pet sitting is how the people who hire you will literally be abusing their kids and pets and you don’t feel like you can say anything.
how do you know who is who
You think keeping birds are expensive try keeping monster fish 😂😂🤦🏾♂️ my Arapaima is like a bottom less pit when it comes to eating lol good info tho
7:40 lmaooooooo 😂😂😂
HAHAHA
I was looking into getting one, glad I watched this video. It will be a hard pass.
Good for you for being so responsible. I hope you find a cute pet that is more suited to your lifestyle :)
Look up egg binding.
aw man I wanted a cockatiel
they’re not for everybody ☺️
@@saeshell ok thanks for the advice by the way!
Tried my birds on pellets for ages and it caused them issues , all birds are different so i do disagree with you on that point , my birds have a full seed diet now , fresh fruit and veg daily and occasionally a bit of millet. Vet said they are perfectly healthy and fine on full seed diet as long as they eat veggies and fruits.
Yeah, so, that’s not a full seed diet because they get lots of vegetables and fruits lmao, the problem is when they’re on a full seed diet.
Oml, are people still giving living beings as gifts to unsuspecting recipients in 2023?? People just don’t think or don’t care. Thank you for your informative video!!
Wow ❤🎉😊
People please PLEASE don't get an animal just because you saw a cute video. Not all birds will have that personality, there's a chance your bird might not like affection that much, many people once they realize their bird doesn't act like the other birds they have seen online people get bored and many people even give the animal up to a shelter.
I just got two cockatiels🕊 a couple weeks ago for my birthday 🎂and wanted them for a long long long time but I couldn't get any because Petco overprices $75 bird to a $400 hundred so for about two years I couldn't get it cockatiels. Until now
they are two male normal grey cockatiels and it came from someone I know who didn't want there cocktails anymore.
I almost got three but they kept one because he or she was a bully👺 to the other two so when I got them they had bald heads one of them had a bald belly and a bloody wing🤕 that one recovered faster than the other. the other started feeling a little sick I think it's because I gave up water from a metal tap bad idea so I changed the water and I think there starting to feel a little better
Little update they recovered nicely and their healthy and happy and now they adore me and one of them already learned recall and I got them new cage
I’m super late but I’m very glad you didn’t get them from a chain pet store, the animals are by far the worst thing for sale at those places. They almost always come from breeding mills where the animals are just made to have as many babies as possible their whole lives and they’re kept in horrible conditions so the animals often come with illnesses, plus it’s just supporting that horrible industry. Not to mention that the chain pet stores have horrible husbandry of the animals, enclosure that are too small and overcrowded with animals, not nearly enough enrichment, and the animals aren’t let out enough or socialized at all.
this is the wrong acc (if you want to see the acc, go to my channel and featured channels, you will see my bird channel on there)
i got my first cockatiel on June 4th and my second on the 19th of October. I put tons of research into my schedule before i got my first and one of my beloved cockatiels and your videos were super helpful. thank you so much for putting your time into making such informational videos for us to be educated (yes, i agree with you, PET FOOD IS EXPENSIVE.)
🤍🕊️🪶
hii
90% of the things in this video i have never done and i have had so many birds... Avian vets do not even exist in my country and we have SO MANY BIRDS, i think more people have birds than dogs.
The family that i took my cockatiel take care of dosens of em, really a generational thing, and they only feed them with seeds and a fruit here and there. They said their live on average of 15+ years and are healthy on said diet.
Yes every 15 minutes 💩💩
First
One of the most condescending videos on cockatiels but okay.
how so? this video explains why cockatiels are NOT 'easy or beginner' pets as they have frequently been labelled as. if i can encourage people to do their research instead of impulsively purchasing a pet because they "saw a cute video online" then my goal is complete.
@@saeshell maybe it’s your tone. I said what I said.
