    Actually, your cockatiel is well trained. Most will not even sit on a shoulder that long, much less travel without freaking out. Give him some credit for being so calm and settled. My cockatiels have always freaked when seeing things outdoors and so when I take them for nail clipping or wing trims, I must cover their travel cages. By nature cockatiels are voracious and can be naughty when left to their own devices, they forage constantly and will chew anything in sight that appeals. Toys and other distractions do help a lot. Please give that little guy tons of love, I wish my birds would be that well trained!

    • @MissouriCrookedBarnHomestead
      @MissouriCrookedBarnHomestead 6 лет назад +19

      Shock of shocks, mine lived to 37. I found him when he flew to my house after escaping his prior owners. At the time, I was 8 years old and I had never seen a cockatiel before. I didn't know what sort of bird he was, what he ate, anything. We lived on a small farm and all I knew to give him was cracked corn and wheat that was for the chickens. We got him back to health on chicken feed. He never liked lots of fruits or veggies. Later when we knew what he was, we tried all the seeds out there and the ONLY one he would eat was the Hartz 8 in 1. He ate that particular type of food his entire life and was healthy as a horse. He would eat the occasional lettuce, cabbage, apples, dandelions, and here's the kick in the pants, he absolutely LOVED buttermilk cornbread and biscuits. He had to eat it every day. He loved paper bags, he would get in them and defend them. He was not afraid of cats, in fact, my cat ran into the house one day and immediately jumped up to the back of the couch where my cockatiel was and grabbed him by the head, almost immediately she slung him across the room out of her mouth. Why? Because my cockatiel pierced her tongue. He would trim my dogs and cats toenails from that point forward, and they would not move because he would threaten to bite their toes if they even flinched. There's so much more that I could say about my Jasper. He was with me until 2015. He passed away peacefully, ironically the day that I was getting ready to move across the country from TN to Wyoming, exactly 2 months after my father passed away to the day. So, do the Math. I had him in 1985, he lived until 2015, and I found his original owner that he got away from who had kept him locked in a cage with rabbits. His original owner told me that he was owned previously by a man that used to walk around with him on his shoulder in the city and that he was at least 7 years old or more when he got out and flew to my house. He was easily 37 with a high possibility of being older than that, but not younger.

    I have a budgie. And I spent so long researching them. I got a cage which could fit three budgies in it, I let him out all day. I always buy him new toys, he refuses to eat vegetables unless it is rocket or sweet corn and I have to rip it into tiny pieces. I am with him usually, all day, and when I am not with him I play the radio. I was diagnosed with leukaemia so I am home schooled(I usually pop into school for an hour or two a day. I do go any longer I may be back in hospital. But I’m in remission now. I may be able to go back full days soon). I play with him lots. He is a mix between your two birds. He likes to cuddle and kiss and to be kissed. He also plays with is toys loads. He likes to attack his bells and break the bells. He likes to chase balls, but he is not strong enough to bring them back. He is so small. But he is gaining weight so we call him pudgy budgie. He speaks really well (I have only had him since August 2017, and he already says ‘can you turn the lights out please Rebecca-There is no one called Rebecca in our family so I have no idea where that is from. It’s something he has on,y been saying for about a week- pretty boy, what are you doing, hippity hoppity get off my property, clever bird, cute baby chicken. He also says a lot more but we can’t pick it up).

      Hi! Thanks so much for your lovely comment and I'm so happy to hear you are in remission congrats!!! :)
      I love it when birds talk they say the funniest things. Coconut loves veggies but Geraldine is a slacker in that department unfortunately. I still make it a habit to offer it to him anyway. Coconut loves munching on broccoli, chia seeds and kale. He's a healthier eater than my other tiel. I wish you continued good health and happiness with your birdies!! 😍😍👍🙂

    Loved your video. Your Petco is nice but I go to a smaller store that sells birds of all kinds and also sells cages and bird food and toys and whatnot. Its been in business for 35 years too. I live near two Petco's too. My Cockatiel does not like toys. He rather perch on my shoulder and cuddle. I mentioned before I got him as a rescue bird over 20 yrs ago when he was 3-6 months old. He has slowed down a lot now but he loves to be with me all the time. When he passes I will not get another pet as my health is not that good and I am over 70 now. But I will always love animals.

    • @tropicallyfit
      @tropicallyfit  6 лет назад +10

      That's so funny because one of my tiels (Geraldine) doesn't like toys either. He NEVER plays with them. The ONLY thing he likes to do is sit on my thigh as I work on the computer all day... he's a "velcro bird" always attached to me and LOVES to cuddle he also makes cute little cricket sounds when I cuddle him (I'll have to try to get that on video it's sooo cute!). My other tiel (Coconut) is much more independent and loves toys and is less cuddly. They are total opposites from each other.
      There is a small bird shop that strictly deals wiht birds but it's about 40 min drive away from where I live. I take my tiels to get their nails one there about every 3 months or so.
      So sorry to hear about your health. My aunt is also 70 and was in horrible horrible health... she's now off all her meds since going low fat whole foods plant based. I too was in such bad health it's scary. I should be wheel chair bound having had over 30 lesions on my brain (even had them on my brain stem worst possible place to have them) but I've gone into remission (have MS) now since radically changing my diet I've halted the progression completely. It's so sad because I literally hear at least 2 ambulances every day in my neighborhood and I guarantee most are for heart attacks and strokes. If you ever watch "Engine 2 Diet" by Dr. Caldwell Esselstyn's son (Rip Esselstyn) who is a fire fighter he says 99% of the calls they get are not for fires but for preventable heart attacks! Never give up... keep eating healthy and hope for the best :)

      My bird's name is "BABY". I was going to name him Corky but my Mother
      thought I should name him Baby..an endearing name. He use to talk more but since both my parents passed in 2003 and 2004 he stopped saying a few words but does talk at certain times day. I had another tiel who was a rescue named "Rocky" who also talked a little but he passed away in 2010. My tiel says Hi too! I have heard of a treadmill desk but they are expensive. I still have a bad back --hurt it in 1966 1967 when I was 20-21 yrs old. I have degenerated disc condition too. So I do the best I can. I am usually at the computer a few hours a day at the most.

    It's so cheerful watching this video that popped up on my YT homepage :)
    My cockatiel died last year in November. He was 19 and a half years old, I got him for my 5 th birthday from my grandma. He was with me on my first day of primary school, first day of secondary, graduation day, first day of college, took him with me to live in my dormitory in the capital, and he was with me when I graduated from college too. He was the best pet I'll ever have, he was very committed to me and I had him walking around with me like yours, no leash I had trust in him although I freaked a couple of times. He loved eating fruits and vegetables and boiled eggs. Especially insects, I was buying him cockroaches and he loved them. I have a tons of stories with him.
    And now I have a green conure, not peach a like like on the video, I have one with like black lines. I'm still gaining his trust.

      LOL no he doesn't... he's very new to wearing the harness but he's doing GREAT. Eventually he will no longer bite at it. He must wear it for his safety whenever I take him outdoors :) My other tiel was much worse than Coconut in the beginning but now he's a pro :)

    Parrots all have COMPLETELY different personalities (which I think is awesome). My Cockatiel is much like yours in that he is a VERY lively bird that is high maintenance and follows me EVERYWHERE. I've also had a few that are completely relaxed and chill.

    • @tropicallyfit
      @tropicallyfit  6 лет назад +1

      Yes!!! I know exactly what you mean LOL. Geraldine it SUPER quiet and SUPER laid back and very very calm and mellow. The ONLY thing he ever wants to do it sit on my thigh as I work on the computer whereas my other tiel named Coconut is a NUTCASE!!!! He's my problem bird LOL. I honestly could NOT handle two birds like Coconut because I'd go insane!!! Coconut is so hyper, loud and very high maintenance it's not even funny. I have to admit I do enjoy Geraldine more because he's so cuddly and less stress LOL :)

    We have 2 parakeets and a cockatiel (we just put our 11 1/2 year old parakeet to sleep yesterday 😪) and I COMPLETELY AGREE that people don't realize if you get a bird that keeping them in their cage all the time is not right. We don't close their cages unless we leave the house and bedtime. When we leave the house our cockatiel's cage is left open. Having birds are work but I love having them and taking care of them!

    He’s so cute!! We have a budgie named Lego and we got our first cockatiel 2 weeks ago 😍 we named him Romeo he is only 11 weeks old he was hand fed and is such a sweet heart! I agree that people need to do a ton of research before getting a bird! They are awesome but a lot of work! And it’s so sad when people get a bird because it’s cute and then have to rehome it!

    I had birds where I grew up and I didn’t feel like they were too much work. I gave them fresh water every day, made sure they had their food refilled and cleaned their cage when it got too dirty. It was fun building huge perches for them in my home and feeding them vegetables or watching them bathe. I had birds for 10 years but my family wanted them gone so we sold them and got a cat. I would get birds again anytime.

    My green cheek conure (Milo) and my daughter’s cockatiel (Chubbs) are seriously best friends. You can see the sadness when they are apart. They are not caged together but the first thing they do when we let them out in the morning is find each other so they can play for the day. I know that’s definitely not the norm but they absolutely love each other. We did get them at about the same time and both are within weeks of age of each other. Not sure if that makes the difference.

    I love coconut! Such a cute cockatiel. We are moving into a new house this weekend, and decided we are going to get a cockatiel. I had a parakeet who sadly passed and was loved dearly by me, my mom, and my grandma. Since she is moving in with us and cockatiels are great family birds (and we were looking for a bird slightly bigger than a parakeet, and maybe a bit smarter as to not fly into my small 15 pound dogs mouths.) we thought why not? Birds are great and there are definitely ups and downs ranging from living age, noise, the fact you are constantly taking care of a 2 year old, but also birds are loving, playful, and just great! Poor Charlie, didnt live to his fullest. He will always live on in my heart ❤️. Thanks for this video! Adorable

    Love the harness! Alas! My wobble-poof of a cockatiel would be on my head, chewing my glasses, or just being a general (cute) brat. And I doubt he'd let me near him with the harness. As for not letting birds out of the cage, they sometimes don't want it. Like us, it seems they have moods where they just don't want to go out and be social.

    TIPS FOR FUTURE BREEDERS!
    I have two parrots (cockatiels. one white yellow and the other gray-yellow) it's sometimes hard work, but when you find the time you will love them as childe. I also definitely recommend buying a man-fed young cockatiel (as a young one she will love you as child love his parrent .) And I don't even recommend buying two birds, when there are two from the beginning it is possible that they will have a bigger relationship with each other than with you. Next, buy everything important or find out before you buy a parrot. So I recommend studying parrots carefully a month before buying. Im from diffrent country so i wrote this text on google translation. Good luck with your parrots.👍

      The cockatiel (Nymphicus
      hollandicus), also known as the quarrion and the weiro, is a bird that is a
      member of the cockatoo family endemic to Australia. They are prized as
      household pets and companion PARROTS throughout the world and are
      relatively easy to breed.
      Is a cockatiel a parrot? Yes, cockatiels are parrots. Cockatiels (Nymphicus
      hollandicus), have the characteristic features of parrots: a curved hookbill and
      zygodactyl feet (two toes pointing forward and two pointing backward). These
      small parrots are native to

    I already had a white parakeet and it's a sweetie. It is very needy but I enjoy it and knew this would be the case with any parrot. I love my birdie and it really likes me more and more each day as our bond grows. I have time for it and I let my bird out of it's cage and have a nice cage where it can fly in it too. It seems happiest in a bigger cage and loves flying around in my home sitting on the swings I have installed in my ceiling hanging for it. I think it's a boy but it's still too young yet too tell. It's name is Twiggy. It'll fly and land on me and my husband now and it loves attention including snuggles. I grew up with a budgie and a cockatiel when I was little and my Mom worked at a groomers at one point and later ran a pet shop and did grooming for dogs there too. She literally owned it and rented the building in a basement. It was really a privilege to grow up in a pet shop every day after school. She'd even bring animals for shows at my school in elementary to educate the kids. They thought I was so cool. She'd bring snakes too lol. I knew about all kind of animals and got to hold huge snakes at a young age and corn snakes and bearded dragons and rats. I was that little girl who had pet rats in the 90s before it was cool or known. One just sitting on my shoulder and a sweetie. I love fatties and all the customers would point to their kids and say "Look at the girl. She has a rat on her shoulder!" It actually helped sell the rats as pets more instead of feeders for the snakes. Customers learned they were gentle and found them charming and asked me about them to know how to care for them. Good times from my childhood and there were not many so I like remembering the pet shop. She had to sell it when I was going on 12 years old and it went out of business. She really knew how to keep it afloat I guess in that town. People loved her because she was knowledgeable about what she had and did there. She would also take the meaner big dogs but knew how to handle them. No other groomers would take them. My Mom worked so hard. Ran a pet shop, did grooming in back for hours every day, and later at crazy hours she'd work in a water factory. I am now an adult with a small child of my own at 3 and am a stay at home Mom. I appreciate that I can do that. My Mom only did it on and off as a stay at home Mom but after she left my Dad and our house burned down she had to work three jobs just to buy a new house. Sorry this is so random and long lol. Just appreciate my Mom more now as I'm a parent too. I think that happens to a lot of us lol.

      Austin 555555 you can tell if it’s a parrot based on the toes, two toes in the front, two toes in the front, and by the curved beak

    I understand a Parrot is hard to take care of, but taking care of animals are always a bit challenging. I am gonna tell you a bit about my favorite bird, Ollie, he scratches my hands and causes them to get irritated, but my bird loves me, and I (and my family) trust Ollie without a harness, since we aren't gonna exactly take him outside. I don't agree with all your points, but a couple of them I am okay with. But I am fine with your opinion, and I believe your taking care of your bird great so far.

    Omg I totally agree with you about getting birds or any pets..they deserve to be In their habitat as much as possible and pet owners should make that possible.. people needs to think before getting any exotic animal because it hard to take care of them ☺️☺️

    You were right about putting green cheek conure and cockatiel together.My mother tried putting both togther and they would attack each other.My conure is more scared of my cockatiel and tends to stay away from my cockatiel haha 😂 its always the cockatiel that wants to attack him.We do seperate them in different cages though.
