My cockatiel turns 25 next year ❤️ Update: Sadly, Alley passed away in mid-April 2023, just a few months shy of his 28th birthday. I spent his entire with him. He was my best friend since I was 12 years old (I’ll be 40 in a week). I’ll miss him deeply for the rest of my life. Our bond was a once-in-a-lifetime companionship that I will forever be grateful to have been blessed with.
WOW! That's amazing!
How dont they last 15
joshuatube many live into their 20s. Some have lived as long as 30. The oldest on record was 32.
What do you feed your cockateil? Mine is q6 wks old and snubs at chop, mainly just wants to eat millet which I know is not very nutritious. She eats some small bird seed mix too.
@@joshuatube6918 The average life span is 20 years but it is not in heard of for them to live to 30
How to take care of a bird
1. Have patience
2. Know what you will get yourself into
3. Love the bird
4. Let the bird love you!
My mom: You know you won't be able to leave it for long cause it'll scream. It will think of you as it's mate, so it's a responsa-"
Me: FiNaLlY a MaN wHo WiLl LoVe Me!!!!1!!!!!1

Experienced bird owner here. VERY IMPORTANT: Don't make assumptions about how the bird will behave. They have their own unique personalities just like people.
So true! My two cockatiels are like night and day. Didi is a bit skittish and prefers being left alone in her cage while Philip loves everyone and everything and has the energi of a 12yo after 4 redbull.
Cockatiels are the best birds! We recently got a parrotlet, and she’s very sweet, but my cockatiel just loves to cuddle. And he’ll sit on my shoulder and sing the Adams Family ❤️❤️
Bell Iron Fist I ordered a parrotlet the other day, and have 2 budgies. I’m so excited to get my parrotlet to cuddle up with!
Sloth . Slimes Yeah they are really sweet. Ours just wants to be held and will cuddle in your hands. Good luck with your new little baby!
Noah De Gamer Yep!
Edward Andrus They don’t get along very well at all 😂 My cockatiel is very testy and will constantly bug the parrotlet, and then our parrotlet will beat him up. She has a very strong bite. I think it would be fine to get either a Budgie or a cockatiel as long as the two aren’t in the same cage and when they are together you supervise them.
I have a parrotlet and she loves to cuddle! On the other hand tho she has so much energy its crazy
My little guy lived from 1985-2007. This was so much like him. I once heard a vet describe Cockatiels as the "Golden Retrievers of the bird world ". Too true!
Sorry
When you mentioned that they were like a small dog, I nearly had a heart attack and thought some unholy being had given a chihuahua wings
Lmao! It's funny you say that, cause during this video I'm thinking "this sounds like bird version of my Chihuahua/jack Russell" 🤣
I have a chihuahua/Jack Russell as well and shes a bird
My cockatiel can count to 9. Lay out 5 nickels and I get 5 nose kisses. Ask how many wings she has and I get 2 nose kisses. Birds are very intelligent and love learning. For me, birds are the perfect pets and will interact with you in no time.
LOL!!!!! 😂 😆 😝 🤣
😂😂😂
I agree with this bird owner. I used to own a cockatiel, but sadly she past away almost 2 months ago 😭
Oh no. I'm so sorry. :(
Kevin and Krista Extras it’s okay thanks
Heavens sake get over it.
@Miss Anthropy Oh boy .
how old was she ?
0:32 omg lord it is cuteness overload
I want to hug you pearly ,omg I really want to
Omg cute cute cute Cute. CUTE CUTENESS
My baby cockatiel is only 15 weeks old and already is sitting on my hand and eating from the other . Got him at 13 weeks old and he has already got my heart .. he is learning to talk
Little lovebugs they are. :)
I just adopted a baby cockatiel as well! She’s only a month old so she’s being taken care before we can take her home
@@GlamBeautyTV they're great pets to have aren't they . Mine is talking so much .. he whistles the Adam's family after two weeks of teaching him . Also said peaka boo lol all the time
*me:* let's watch "5 Best Things About Owning A Cockatiel"
*my cockatiel:* AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Yes, they’re very affectionate they bond to you mine screams as soon as I leave the room. Cockatiels are great pets and companion.
Sometimes when I'm stressed or sad, I just watch my tiels do their thing, and their cuteness and little tiel movements always cheer me up
This was something i always wondered no one talked about...... But my cockatiel smelled so amazing, it was like baby smell
I’m thinking about getting a cockatiel! And this video definitely made me so much more excited to get one!!
Update: I actually got myself one! I named her sunny, and she already allows me to pet her!
I am researching the ourchase of a cocktiel too. I hope to find some place in Minnesota that raises them vs pet store.
how is sunny
Male budgies are exellent talkers you just have to teach them!
how
Yeah budgies mimic words way better than cockatiels do, cockatiels are more difficult to understand, they’re more singers and whistlers than anything
Yes but if you do you can't train them to stop they'll be noisy
@@cheshireterror624 Not necessarily true. Depends on the bird. Birds are individuals. Some birds are more interested in mimicry than others. My previous cockatiel was an excellent mimic and had a vocabulary of around 25 to 30 very clear phrases, hand raised bird, loved everyone but especially attracted to human females. Repetition and practice is the key to clarity, not the species.
how
We just bought cockatiels a couple months ago. What you are saying about them being like a dog is so true. It is something I didn't expect!
You said your budgie doesn't let you do all that your Cockatiel does but my budgie let's me do everything. He lets me pet him, cuddle with me and perch on my shoulders as long as I want to.
nik maknojia where did you get your parakeet
Same with mine . He also can say his name and make camera sounds :D
Same
I had a blue parakeet and she was awesome would give kisses let me cuddle her stay with me and enjoy being petted a love bug
Had babys and was guarded when they were eggs but soon let me hold them while she was out of the nest awesome mom and after the babies were grown she was still sweet and loving ❤ 💖
The cuddiliness, chill nature and relative quietness is what’s settled me on a Cockatiel as my birb companion
My baby cockatiel Jazzy Belle is 10 months old...hand raised we got her at 7 weeks and she is sooo loving and cute...like a puppy she follows me EVERY where and yes she cuddles😍
I got my cockatiel Chipper when he was 4 months old from a birds specialty pet store. He was/is missing one of his toenails and I think he was being rejected by prospective owners for that reason(it's actually not a problem).Yet he looked healthy, he looked happy so upon my taking him home, I named him Chipper because he looked just that. Within a day, he learned how to perch on my finger and loved his head pets. And once Chipper learned how to whistle, talk and sing, there was no stopping him! It's interesting how you likened owning a cockatiel to owning a dog. When I take Chipper in his carrying case to get clipped, he'll do his repertoire during the ride--he provides the entertainment! He's also very docile when he gets his wings and toenails clipped at the place I got him from--the owner has referred to Chipper as "a sweet little bird." Chipper is now going on 15 years old. Up to this point, he hasn't experienced any medical issues and I hope he lives the longest lifespan..if longer, even better.
This is so true I have a cockatiel and they are literally the best bird ever
I'm getting a cockatiel soon, and these videos are very helpful! Thank you!
I waited for this!! Thank you❤️
Omg thanks for the advices, I'm so proud of my cockateil.
We just got a cockatiel at Omars 6 weeks ago. He is just like a dog and loves our dog! We live in Laguna Woods.
Thank you for the Pros and Cons of owning a Cockatiel - We have a had raised named Whitecap (All white except cheeks) - Great information on why they itch and how to Spray them for comfort - God bless you, your`s and birds
I definitely resonate with what you said about your parakeet pillow! My Luna and Saturn just have a party once I let them out the cage 🤣 I’m talking flying all over and chirping like crazy 🤣 but it’s so cute 💛💛
Awww I’ve wanted to see this because I’m trying to figure out more about cockatiel
Another awesome & informative video! :D My first cockatiel Mel was a really good talker. My current one Gilbee doesn't talk at all. He just sings & whistles & that's okay too! :D It's true they're cuddle-bugs, but I think getting them at young age helps with that. :D
Im getting a cockatiel in a year, it’s still a long time but I’m already so excited
You're absolutely right they're affectionate!!! Adorable! and have the sweetest of temperaments among the parrots! I love parrots. They're beautiful, zany and loaded with personality! 🦜💛🎨💛🦜
so well said thanks for the tips
I missed your video when it came out but I love this video and pearl is so adorable and amazing
I just got my baby white faced cockatiel literally today and she is the most affectionate little bird ☺️
She’s such an adorable tiel 😍
Cockatiels are just so adorable, lovely and their are my cutie pie😊
Everything what has been said is correct.
I had a lovely cockatiel for over 23 years.
I totally agree! My 9 month old male cockatiel “Baby” is the most adorable and amazing pet! He brings much joy to our family and is a chatter box!! He’s better than having a dog! Lol
My cockatiel came into my life totally by accident. I live in Phnom Penh and it appeared on my neighbour's balcony and was almost eaten by his cat.
Nobody came to claim her (I think a she ... but no idea), despite my landlady asking around. So I kept her.
At the time I was locked down due to covid. The affection this little bird showed won my heart. But she was also annoyingly needy lol.
Once the lockdown was over I purchased a decent cage (the door is always open and she comes out whenever she feels like it), toys, proper food, calcium blocks etc.
As I was going back to work I wanted a companion bird. The pet shop owner only had his own 4 month old cockatiel, so I was looking at love birds. But then he decided to sell me his pet.
They are fantastic. No more needy squawking, but still all the affection. They are like a couple of winged puppies and love being petted and scratched and just hanging out on me.
These birds are really amazing pets and give me so much love I can't imagine a home without them!
And number 5, they are more LOVELY, CUDDLY, and ADORABLE then ever!!!
🤗🤗💗🐤🐥
Imeh! My Twitter friend lol
Yes I agree these birds are amazing, I have two males Zion and Peter.💗
Unfortunately, I watched the "five worst things about owning a cockatiel" before watching this video and it left me with the feeling that you were sorry to have Pearl in your life. I can't imagine being without my 'tiels and you're right- they are affectionate like dogs and if they have been properly trained, they can't wait to see you, fly to you and interact with you. For me, that's a perfect bird pet. I've had COPD for most of my life and the dander doesn't affect me at all ,but cat dander and some dog dander does. I was glad to see this video to find I was mistaken about your feelings for Pearl. She's a sweetie.
BTW your birds are adorable and thanks for all these tips you share.
Yey another vid , i just got a lovebird but he isnt hand raised im traineng her to let her know that bitting is not okay , also i have a coxkatiel that is a caroline named kiwi that was handraised ! smaller birds love to run a lot well fly!
my cockatiel screams like a macaw ,macaw style and says his name kiwi
i have 1 budgie and 1 new one and vids also ur cockatiel is so cool ive always wanted one but then i got budgies and i like my budgies a lot
amazing video keep it up
I love your vids keep up
28 dislikes vs 2.4k likes! Wow! Cockatiels must be truly wonderful! ❤️
Oh yes the dog comment haha. My cockatiel will follow my heels to wherever I go, god forbid I get out of her sight. They are such little cuties ❤️
Yes they are great companions
Nana tells me if I want to bird I have to know everything about 1 and I do now because thanks to you thank you you helped me and thank you for telling me now I can get a bird I love Cockatiels and they're not just Birds they're also your best friends and family members
My cockatiel loves cuddle and kisses, he’s sooooo sweet! And clingy😅 but i love him soooo much!🥺❤️
I think Pearl is the sweetest natured cockatiel I've ever seen...you really scored! Love the videos of both the "children" since I've been a budgie owner for years. Thanks!
This is a wonderful channel 👍.
Hi,
I would like to get a cockatiel but I was wondering if it would be better to get a female or male because I already have a male budgie.
I'm getting a male cuz females lay eggs also males r more vocal
I think males because theyre easier to educate and only male cocktails can speak
The females are messy lay a lot of eggs it takes away from their lifespan but they're more affectionate
If you want a more vocal bird you should get a male bad thing about male cockatiels is that they are a bit more agressive but you can teach them songs! And it doesn’t matter if you have a male budgie because they will get along just as good as a female cockatiel and a male budgie! :3
I have a Cockatiel and she is very lovely 😊! I love her and she loves me!
I’m looking into getting a Cockatiel as my budgies flew away a little while ago, so I came to this channel to see what you had on the topic of Cockatiels. Now I’ll share my personal opinion on the points in this video.
Them being affectionate is the most important aspect of this video for me. My budgies never appreciated my attempts to make them feel safe, and usually ignored me or were frightened of me. Its important to me to have an affectionate pet because of this, so a Cockatiel would be perfect. The fact that Cockatiels are very calm is also perfect for me, because, like everyone, I like to take time to rest or read. Having a snuggle bird to do that with is exactly what I want. I don’t particularly mind about the lifespan as long as I get a few years with my bird. But its reassuring to know they live long enough to stay with me throughout my life. Teaching them to talk would be fun, but I don’t mind whether they can or not. Its not a point that stands out to me especially, but its preferable. Thanks for this video!
Yes I love my cockatiel. He flew away a month before..
@@Smithaa1 my two budgies did the same… i’m really upset because they were my heart and soul, but my new cockatiel is amazing too.
Such lovely birds.
They are adorable💕
My cockatiel spanky would go nuts when he'd hear my truck pull up to the house. He was my flying puppy thats for sure. Loved him
I love so much cocktail bird ❤❤they are the best😊
Omg yes! I went to this Chinese pet shop and I got to play with birds but cockatiels were the best to handle with! Though they’re to expensive
Candy Lian find a local breeder near you. Or adopt. Much cheaper to get from a breeder.
Cockatiels are very nice pets.
My little buddy means the world to me like my child talks all the time sings bunch of songs he's basically velcroed to me when I'm,home great cockatiels are great companions
Cockatiels really are the best. I had a Pearl cockatiel… he was so affectionate and loved us so much, so did we and he became a part of our family! The only thing that helps me get my mind off his death is other cockatiel videos and the fact that we’re getting another one.. he died last month and I can’t take all this pain….
I have a cockateil boy and i named him after your budgie, pillow
I love your video it is amazing I can't wait to get my own if I have two will it be okay or not
Omg pearl is adorable
thats good tips
Hey I was wondering do you need to microchip a bird? Or have some way of keeping track because I wouldn’t want to lose my bird. Thanks!
Yeah I have a budgie and we talk a lot and hes on my hand all the time but won’t let me pet him and it gets frustrating sometimes but now I’ve just accepted it and recently I’ve been looking into a cockatiel and I just wanna be able to let him and chill and have a little buddy like my budgie but I’m just curious if cockatiels are good
I love my Tiels!
I have a 5 and a half weeks old baby cockatiel she is adorable
Cockatiel are cool pets There cute ones so cute To interact with
So cute, how did you get them to be so comfortable so they would sit on you like that. I am trying but my ties are very jumpy, won’t let my fingers touch them beside holding, and clipping wings to force them to be more dependent sound just so horrible...
Do you recommend getting 2 Tiels at the same time initially? I got a big cage and toys. I want one for me and one for my daughter. Worried they may bond together more than us? Also thinking whether it would be better to introduce them both to the same cage/home initially rather than adding one later to the other's territory?
I am getting my cockatiel tomorrow😁
As a child we had 4 birds in our house. A Cockatiel, Budgie, and 2 Canaries all of which were very tame. Having them all out at once was hilarious!
I'm considering having one. I give myself a couple of months to understand more though. I live in Taiwan, they are easy to find in Taipei's bird market but one thing troubles me. There are no heating systems in most of houses and in winter the inside temperature can sometimes drop to 13°C and in the summer it can go up to more than 30° in the appartment. I can't leave the A.C on all day. How well can they handle those temperatures?
I got a male cockatiel couple of weeks ago 6 months old from a pet shop, he still hiss at me and try bite if i take my finger near him. Although he like sounds on youtube videos of whistle and other cockatiel sounds. How should i approach to tame him from this stage? I didnt cut his wings yet should i do so?
All true. 😊
🥰 so cute
My cockatiel is called pearl because she is a pearl cockatiel and she reminds me like yours but right now it’s matting season and molten season so she is kinda grumpy
Hi . Can you give me a link to pearls cage
Yeah I have 2 that I was given because they where to noisy I believe the old owner called them. Chip and chap is singing alot true. But they are like my children already after a month. They will boss me around if they can. But I'm learning and I can now hold chip in my hand. They are truly the most aMASING little creatures. Get one they are not just birds that sits in ur cage. They are playfull and loving like many other pets
And dear me are they stubborn haha
i have two cockatiel but I am not able to train them,
please give some hints how to train them outside of the cage.
Cockatiels are fun.
Someone answer plz my cockatiel tris to back to its cage and does not rly like to come out of the cage what should I do
Omgggg that's so cute
Hi love your bird's! I have one Cockatiel he comes to my head but don't let me touch him. It was giving to me. What can i do so i can pet him?
I have same train cocktail
Love you from India
AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW CUTENESS OVERLODE!!!!
Hey i have a cockatiel and i was wondering if its good to bring another one
Do you know were to get a hand raised parakeet is PetCo ok??
I have a cockatiel which was not hand raised.She was 2 years old so taming her was hard and she is till not fully tamed but we are making a lot of progress
Derpicuno - Good luck! 😊
Same its hard but making progress is really rewarding to see
Thank you guys!
Had a pair of male cockatiels who lived to be 16. Sadly they passed away last year about 6 months apart from each other. We really miss them. We have a .5 year old male (Chewy) who is a real cuddle bug.
What’s your take on wing clipping? Our first cockatiels seemed to pick up flight and avoiding collisions pretty well. We clipped them for a while but one of them would have seizures when taking them in to get groomed so we stopped trimming their nails/wings. Chewy hasn’t been as nimble...yet. When we bought him he was clipped but seemed more accident prone as he’d jump off things and flop to the ground, often busting his tail feathers in the process (occasionally a blood feather.....scary). But as his wings grew out he’s flying around more but we’re worried he might hit something as he’s not too great at landing yet. On the plus side he’s finally grown his tail out.
I am thinking of getting one. I was wondering about the noise. Is it really loud? As I live in apartment complex and I don't want my neighbors to hate me. You know what I mean.
Yep they are great fun , and they can mime , my dad used to hear what he thought was the phone ringing , turned out to be the bird miming the phone , I'd be doing tug of war with it of course I did not let it win as a result it would fall off the table , it once stuck its head in my mouth picking my teeth ( great fun ) it used to love the light on the ceiling a little too much , we used to wonder why we had to change so many bulbs on it , they must of had something to do with it , barely changed any since they died , that was back in the ninties never had one since .
We had 3 cocktaiels , each one of them had a different personality completely, the older 2 were hand raised by my brother, the female cockatiel was absolutely nuts she was crazy u can tell there’s something wrong inside her brain 😅 she used to scream for no reason 🤦🏻♀️ fly and hit the window 😒 and she was the dirtiest bird i have ever seen 🤣 the male cockatiel was just like a prince he always looked soooo good and clean and he didn’t like too much petting 🤣 the last one was male cockatiel i did the hand raising and he was unbelievably affectionate with me all he wanted to do all day long is to kiss and cuddle ❤️
I think birbs are more ALOT more than a dog will ever be tbh :x nice vid tho i def want a red dimple birb soon
