Who else just thinks shelly and her birds are a whole aesthetic.

--watches your birb infront of a mirror- Birb: -dose the tiktok meme- “who the freack is you. Who you is, who you be”

Why are you soo underrated?!? I just found your channel and I love itttt ❤️

I’m getting a hand raised Lutino pearl cockatiel in about 3 weeks and I love watching all of your content I don’t subscribe to many people but you earned a subscribe and the bell I love you Shelly keep up the great work :)

I have wanted a bird my whole life and have done a whole bunch of research and a cockatiel would be best for me and my family. I’ve now got a job and a whole bunch of savings/ I am getting my 2 cockatiels in only 2 months!

I got a cockatiel yesterday. Luckily, I was able to pick out, and hang out with her in the parrot store, so she is a bit used to me. I thought that she likes going onto my shoulder, and only mine. Turns out that she’ll be able to sit on anyone’s shoulder. Since I am technically her owner, and my family are her family, I want her to (I know this is a bit selfish) like me more than them. Ever since I was 6, I was amazed by birds, but I had NO idea that you can actually have a pet bird! Right now my cockatiel is on my shoulder, most likely sleeping. I’ve been hanging out with her a bit more, and giving her seeds while she’s around me. (Yes, I know it’s weird.) Anyways, thanks for this video! This was very helpful.

Oh my goodness your merch is so cute!

I been trying to tame my tiel for a month now and he started eating off my hand like a week ago. Going very slow lmao but gotta have patience

Your litterly one of the best bird owners

thank you so much for all the helpful info! i remember when i first started researching cockatiels and this was the first video that popped up and at that point on i knew you were such a great youtuber! you've come so far and helped me so much. my parents are talking about getting me a bird in a couple months (hopefully a cockatiel, not a budgie!) and they're going to tell me tomorrow. wish me luck 🥰

The video we’ve all been waiting for! Love it! 💛💛💛

Yaaay you uploaded I luv ur channel

Shelly i wish u get better fast ! Dont worry its normal to feel off sometimes,just go throgh it while stayin strong

My bird is almost two years old, at first I really wanted a bird. But then I realized how much responsibility they needed. So my Dad kinda took over, now I’m trying to be a good bird mom. Trying to get all the information I need, we got my bird from a family breeder and think she may be inbred but we don’t know for sure. I have ordered a couple toys for my girl and I’ve been trying to spend as much time as I can with her because I didn’t realize how bad she needed the attention. She has been showing more of her personality with me instead of my dad, she loves to sit on your shoulder and loves to try new things. I love having her with me and I wish I would have been a better bird mom, the bond my father and her have is so adorable. She does have a bond with me, I’m trying to make our bond stronger than ever. I’ve been looking at foraging toys, regular toys, natural perches and other things. If you have any tips for me, I would love to hear them. ❤️

I had a bad day and this video really cheered me up! (Best bird RU-vidr)

Love the videos! I will hopefully be getting the merch for Christmas! 💙🐾

I hope you're okay♥️♥️ you've got this xx

I am getting a cockatiel in December (summer). I have already gathered some branches and researched some equipment and I am sooo excited. I just want to say thank you because you have given me so much tips and information and now I think I am ready. I am naming his Zazu (after the lion king). You are soo kind to your birds I love watching them sit on your shoulder and fly around! Anyways thank-you so much! You deserve a lot more subs! 😁💗

Your birds match your personality ❤️👏🏼❤️☺️

Purchased a lutino cockatiel last week, thank you so much for all of your advice :)

I have just got a new cockatiel and I also have two other budgies and they are the funniest things when they are together. My tiel is called Dusty however even though I would’ve got a rescue there was no homes in my area, I had to get him from the pet shop in my town. I’ve been watching all your cockatiel videos and I’ve been enjoying all of them. Keep up the good work ;)

Shelly, you think you're bad at make up? I can't even put on lipstick without messing up. You're amazing!

Do part 2 Q and A ! Pleaseeeeeeeee My questions Are •Would You buy a Parrot but not cockatiel? •What's your dream Pet?

I loveeeeee ur aesthetic omg and ur room! What do u use for video editing? xx

Always love Friday’s because shelly uploads a new video such a vibe

I’m getting a cockatiel on feb 23rd! I’m so exited!

heyyy shelly

I have a tiel that was aviary raised and when I got him he did not want to interact with me but the thing helped me was not being scared of him biting me because his bite dosent hurt me but now he steps up when I ask (only when out of the cage) and is starting to destroy things haha. It cost me $180 for my tiels setup I got him a huge cage from gumtree for $50 gumtree is my go to website for cockatiel stuff

the poop is so accurate 😭my boi literally always poops on my shirts

Avian Fashions makes bird diapers that double as flight suits, also according to Marlene Mc'Cohen parrots can be trained to fly to their stand or into their cage if they need to potty.

haha totally agree with the poop part😂😂

YAyyy I’m earlyyyyyyy

ilyyy

Interesting that Cockatiels seem to be more clingy than budgies, my budgie reacts nicely when I talk to him, but doesn't follow me all over the house.

The thought of acting like eating a pellet made me laugh but it’s so true! My birds would touch fruits and vegetables until I started eating in front of them. As soon as they saw me with food they flew over to get a bite. It’s so cute 😊

I got a non hand tamed bird a few months ago. She'll sit on my hand but she still doesn't have that trust. I put her up on her cage everyday with some toys and snacks, she'll fly around for a little bit, and then she'll want to go back. I'm really hoping I can build some trust with her over the summer. Thank you Shelly

Got my bean from a petstore and when I’m home and not doing anything i would just sit in a chair in front of the cage with her door open and just play on my phone after like a week she started sitting on the edge watching my phone as I just watch videos instead of sitting in the back

i love your videos shell i love your birds even more LOL 🤣 I cant wait till i get a cockatiel and i realy need youtube videos like yours for help ty ty ty so much for this video keep it up i dont sub to many people but i subed to you !

Aww you answered my question 🥰

I am early again ♥️♥️

IS THERE MORE STOCK OF THE JUMPER YOURE WEARING?! I neeeeeeeed it

I need this I might be getting a cockatiel in a few days and I really wanna bond with it! I need a buddy with my I think I have a bit of anxiety. I get very scared when im alone in my room.. Not really separation anxiety I get like visions of some black shadow I start shaking a lot, I get so scared, I run to my parents or my brother I feel safer I think having a little buddy will make me more comfortable and feel safer (: edit: Also im getting it from a trusted breeder I looked on Craigslist but there was no cockatiels near me, they have been socialized and they are hand tamed because the breeder we are getting my new buddy from has been hand feeding the birds and spending time with them and he had them since they were babies the breeder is actually my dad's friend's friend lol

my budgerigars always fly to my computer when they hear your voice xP

Hi Shelly thx for this video 🙃

Your birds are so cute ❤❤❤ Your Cute and nice i don't know why you don't have many subscribers This is too sad your videos are amazing! And i love your videos and your birds and you Be Safe Shelly 😊🤭♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️ Love you

listen listen, for prices, if you have 1 birdy you have a choice of getting a cheaper cage that can be $50 so don't worry. toys you can find a 5 pack of them for 15 dollars so don't worry, most expensive thing is getting the monthly food and theactual bird itself which can be between $80-$150

Broo pls answer me , how do u maled ur birds to like u? I maked my two cokotails to step up and then reward them and thats it anithing don t work, i mean i am taming my cokotails from june whit hand feeding placing a treet behind my ginger and they have to step up onto my finger to get the treet, and i practice the step up thing whit them thet they can step up onto my finger when they see my hand , but i can t give em scritces i cant hang out whit em outside of the cage on my hand, how did u make ur cokotails to like u???

Ive had my cockatiel for 4 days and he steps up and fly’s to me when I say come and sorta lets me pet him but he doesn’t like it

Can you please tell me what travelbag to get? Because i am afraid that some of the bag‘s are not made for birds

I got my budgie a few days ago and he does step up but he stays on one perch and never moves from it but he does also bite and I’m working on getting him to stop

I wish I could have your birds shelly! :( I have 4 but yours are soo cute!!

Is only mine cockatiel so smart to skip his chop and wait for training time to get milets😅

I bought a wild insted of a hand fed cockatiel from a brider to see how meny things I can teach it(I love my cockatiel named Kviki)I've made a pretty good job so far🥰🥰🥰

You should do something ASMR related, like I tried ASMR or me and my birds tried ASMR

Ily and your vids

I have 4 birds, a budgie and a cockatiel who compete for complete and total power over everything, a budgie who thinks he’s a cockatiel (he legit bows) and a cockatiel who thinks he’s a human

Omg early

Do you have any tips on how I can get my cockatiel to eat fruits? Whenever I try she just runs away or ignores it.

My cockatiel the day I got he/she (there 3 months old so I can’t tell yet) they sat on my shoulder

I’m excited because I might get a cockatiel next summer 🙂

My tiel was hand fed as a baby and was around people all the time so it took like 3 days for my bird to get on my shoulder and like a month or maybe more for him to let me scratch him

How do u edit the video, to add those others ones while you're speaking about them

With bonding and getting the birb used to you I've heard in my fb groups that some birb parents will read little short baby books and little golden books to their birb....

At 2:30 the subtitles say “coffee teals” 😂

1] at age you got your birds 2] how did you bond with them

Emma and Charli are adorable! 💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕

when you made the advice videos i watched them i remember you were talking about candles. can i have them out but not burning? or should i put them somewhere the bird couldn’t reach? i am thinking of getting a cockatiel but i wanna make sure i know as much as i can before i do.

The first day I got my cockatiel we bonded so strong

Quick question, what do u use to edit?

My bird has a seed pellet and fruit in a mix as there diet

We love our cinnamon pearl cockatiel she is 2 years old and her name is snuggles and she does love to snuggle.she is very loving

Hello! How old are your cockatiels and at what age did you adopt them? I cannot stand the poop either, but love our 2 month old. I hope she adjusts well.

How could anyone dislike this

Hi Shelly!💕 I wanna give my cockatiel a bath but i don’t know how and which way I should do it cuz it’s kinda confusing can u tell me how u give ur birds a bath?🥺 thank u💕

Hi! I love your videos. I have a question for you. Over the course of my life thus far, I’ve adopted 6 birds. 5 were adopted as babies, and one was already 2 years old. Well, all of the babies started out super sweet (I even hand fed one myself for 3 months), but somehow after they grew, they all (besides the 2 year old) turned into biters and hated people! This is a big problem because then no one wants to hold or interact with them. So it’s like personality changed rapidly out of nowhere. One was a female conure, two were love birds, and one a male cockatiel. They were all worked with and socialized with the family and loved on. And all was totally fine for months or even a year. Then one day they ALL became biters. Super HARD biters. Why does this happen? 😭 I’ve had to rehome all of them but the cocktail I adopted when he was 2, he was nice when I got him and stayed that way! He is now 30!!!!!! Can you believe it? Aaaanyway, I recently bought a new baby cockatiel, she’s 3 months and very sweet. How can I make her stay nice? I really want to keep a cockatiel in the family as my old man cockatiel probably doesn’t have much longer to live as he’s already 30! And he’s been so amazing. Any tips? Any ideas as to why our birds turn mean? Thank you!!!!!!!!!

Hi seashell ilysm you look so pretty

I'm going to buy a bird cage on Saturday yay

The bird poop is sooooo truee my green cheeck conyer will fly to me just to poop on me and its like whyyy birddd but my sun conyer will go to his tree stand to poop

You are like one of the best bird owners!Also, are you Aussie? Cuz I am. You have some sort of Aussie accent

"If you do not have a hand raised bird, they're not going to trust you" WRONG I got a mistreated cockatiel, parent raised, and never socialised, I put time and effort in and now 3 month later, he just sits on my hand and on my head and washes himself. So dont give up on your bird if he is parent raised because I managed to socialise a cockatiel that was scared of everything.

I had to try so hard not to watch Emma and Chari the whole time 😂❤️

Tomorrow I am getting a pearl cockatiel

Hey! I was wondering... did you train them yourself? I got a budgie this year and I’m really struggling to train her! And I don’t know what to do!!

Hey is there any way I can possibly tell what gender my bird before there first molt

Can you eventually train your birds to come outside with you but not fly away? Or is that just not possible?

Do you still have merch? The link takes me to teespring but not your merch.

What breeder did you get your birds from?

How do you tell and which is Charlie and which is Emma?

I am getting a baby cockatiel in a week!
