Cockatiel Care + Tips! 

❗❗CHECK OUT MY OTHER VIDEOS: ru-vid.com - i include my beeps in all my videos when i can so be sure to check them out

NO ONE EVER TALKS ABOUT PLANTS AND CANDLES ETC BEING TOXIC!!!! This is so important thankyou for sharing:)

Don't rush in getting a bird ! Cockatiels can live to an average of 15 years so when purchasing a pet in general make sure you're ready for a long time commitment! Please continue to do your research on food, cages, toys etc. Use this video as a very BASIC guideline ! There’s so much I forgot to mention! - make sure you have enough time and love for your cockatiel because they do deserve as much love + attention as any cat or dog !!!

How in the literal WORLD do you not have more likes,??!?!!

“You’re here because you have one or want one” Me: *Watching this @ 1am because I don’t want to sleep* 😂😂

“Your either getting one or have one!” Me: *i don’t have one* *most likely not getting one until I’m old enough* *i just find these videos entertaining*

I was given a cockatiel as a present when I turned 18 and had to give him back to the store because I had 3 cats and a dog in a small apartment. I still miss Kevin everyday 8 years later :( I am adopting a pair of pigeons now, haha.

When she said" I love plants and birds" I immediately subscribed to her :-)

HELLO me again! If I had known this video was going to blow up I would of tried to make this more informative & reliable so ✨ please only take this video lightly! ✨ I made this video with the soul purpose of trying to educate new cockatiel owners but I’ve missed so much! I WILL MAKE A PART TWO but for now; - if you need any help I find Facebook cockatiel groups are really handy & there’s always someone willing to answer your questions! -the Cockatiel Cottage website is really helpful as well - RU-vidrs like BirdTricks & Live Laugh Birds are WAYY more informative & should defiantly check them out as well !! once again thankyouu for the countless support & I will be making more bird content in the future ✨✨ bare with me 💓

You're adorable. I'm thinking about getting one.. maybe eventually.

When you said “Cockatiels love to try foods that you are eating” Whenever I eat Takis my cockatiel would try stealing it away from me

The apartment I'm in doesn't allow birds, so I'm saving this video for after I move out in another four years. Can't wait to get a tiel, I've been waiting years cjsdfjkhfg. They're so adorable, especially love the adorable little birbs in this video. Thank you for the helpful info!

That cockatiel is looking a little thicc. I love it

❗️❗️I HAVE A NEW COCKATIEL CARE + TIPS VIDEO ON MY CHANNEL❗️❗️ this video doesn’t cover as much information as I wanted it to so I’ve made a brand new video that covers all the topics & information I missed & I 100% recommend watching that video instead of this one :) x

I’m buying a hand fed cockatiel from a breeder and getting it in 6-8 weeks as a baby but I really like how the store I’m getting it from let’s you bond with the birds before you even get them! So I’m super exited for that🥰

Hi my name is Peecko and I'm a Cockatiel!❤

THANK YOU FOR THE CANDLE PART! I personally have four cockatiels, two males and two females, they live in the living room (we live in an apartment) and the living room is connected to the kitchen (no doors between them nor walls) my mom uses candles every day with our birds nearby, if it weren’t for you my birds could have died someday, so thank you so much💗

A few months ago, I wanted to get a cockatiel, but I found out a GC conure fits my lifestyle more, so when I saw this video, it really helped! I still watch videos about cockatiels every once in a while since I'm not getting my GC conure until June. I think this video really helps. :)

Oh my gosh thank you so much for this! I am planning to get 2 cockatiels to help me through my anxiety and stuff and I have been getting prepared for it. Your care + tips are helping me out a lot sense I am more used to lizards, dogs, and cats and not birds and this is helping me out so much so I have to say thank you for your help!

THANK YOU for this video! I own two male cocktail’s and adore them! I’m trying to teach them how to sing & talk. One of them is rescued so I’m trying to get him to feel more comfortable and he’s come such a long way & he’s finally better!! I love them good video!!

My cockatiel ONLY likes APPLES he’s so fussy with he’s food

This Defenetly helps thank you!!!I'm getting a pair of cockatiels in a few days and I decided on 2 since i get up at 6 and leave for school at 730 I just didn't want it to be alone for 7-8 hours while I'm gone at school.

im thinking about getting one ive done loads of research just gotta convinse my dad lol

I've been wanting a bird for over four years (I've taken care of neighbor's budgies before) and last week I got a white face cutie named Ollie :) Ollie has become the light of my life and is the nicest and most cuddly bird I've ever seen. This video helped me understand the commitment and I can't thank you enough :)

2-4 hours? As a high school student I was concerned I wouldn’t have time for them but I have way more time then 4 hours a day for them

As someone who is looking into owning a cockatiel this was EXTREMELY helpful!! I had no idea candles and plants could kill a bird so tysm!!

Great info! I’ve owned my clear pied cockatiel, James, for 3 years now and absolutely love him. I just want to add to the toxic list - room sprays, anything with essential oils, paint fumes, and especially teflon pans!!! Sadly, my parakeet, Baxter, passed years ago due to me not knowing Teflon fumes are toxic! Be careful

Thank you!!!! I'm getting a cockatiel soon and I'm trying to read/watch as much information about them as much as possible I possibly can and your video was super helpful!!!! So thank you!!!

IM GOING TO OWN ONE NEXT MONTH HOPEFULLY IM SO EXITED!!

I know this video is old, but can I just say how much I admire you about being honest and genuine about your mistake as an earlier bird keeper, I'm so sorry to hear about Ella, it was a terrible accident, but your story and education to others really resonates and gives a powerful message while honoring her, you're an amazing bird keeper and I hope you don't hold any resentment or guilt to this day from it, you did all you could with the knowledge you had at the time. I'm watching all your videos preparing for my first two cockatiels and your wisdom has been so helpful for preparing me for when they come! My rescue tiel I'm picking up Sunday if all goes well! Thank you for the amazing info, I hope to make as few mistakes as possible and do everything right.

great video! i've been thinking about getting a cockatiel/slowly convincing my mother, and it's great that you mentioned things like the dust and poop as well. lots of other videos don't and it's good to have all the information, good and bad.

Im getting 4 cockatiels. I was studying for 1 year about cockatiels and u are one of the people i watch everyday keep it going and you and Elleandthebirds should make a video together

Ohhh what a BEAUTIFUL little fluff baby 🥰 You clearly take outstanding care of her.

Those birds fit her aesthetic lol

I just got mt first ever Cockatiel 2-3 days ago. Im a 30 year old male and bought an all white Cocky haha. I had an instant feeling with this bird at the pet store, the information said it was hand raised and it was trying to give my finger love bites through the cage and i just had a feeling, so i impulse bought of course hahah! 😊 I just want to know if i have a female or a male, because i keep calling what i think to be a "Him", a " Good Boy" all the time haha so it'd be funny as hell if its a girl. Its not very chirpy only when it wants attention, i taught it to step up on the first day and have had it on my shoulder the last 2 days for about 2 hours each time. I feel like we have definitely broken the ice and he or she falls asleep on my shoulder cuddling up to my neck, ear and beard haha. Id say its a very well behaved bird, loves to preen a tonne hahaha! 😐 dust everywhere lol Not sure how old it is or if its a male or female, its all white please help, and my bird doesn't seem to be eating much that ive noticed and i havent seen it drink any water, but the water was fairly dirty each time i change it, so i would assume he/she has a drink after he/she eats, haha. Thanks for you're help

I have 1 cockatiel he’s about 3 months old but now he has a slim chest and this is the second time :( How can I make him better?

" I'm so sorry I've been looking at the screen instead of the actual camera!" * Ceeps on looking at screen *

My cockatiel buddy is my best friend and still going strong at age 11 going on 12. Best birds ever. So hardy abs suck fun personalities. She definitely prefers pellets over most veggies but would die for sweet potato and spinach and a little pasta. So glad you made this.

You handle your birds SOOO well. I can tell that y'all have a bond

U should get them to try sprouts! Most tiels love them!

me: "my dads allergic to pet dander... maybe the dust would be a problem..." *realizes that i have two dogs that shed an extra carpet* me: "yeah no i think my dad will be ok"

I got my first tiel a few months ago and love her so much. She is clingy and standoffish at the same time 😭😭and I love to hear her chirp and love when she flies to me or my hubby to preen us

I’ve had my cockatiel since I was 7 years old 😪 I’m now 18 and it’s coming up to a year since his passing. I’m scared to get another one because of the pain when they pass 😔

How are you not famous????????????? You’re probably my FAVORITE RU-vidr on birds!!! (Not including Marlene Mc’cohen!) What do you use to edit? It’s so cute and aesthetic!

A grey cockatiel omg it’s so cute look very fancy 🥰🥰 edit- thanks for three likes and also I learned there are grey cockatiels in my area and I have a chance to get them yayyyy

I’m getting a cocktail and I’m so excited and love them so much I wanna cry

how do u not have more likes, i love how u are informative and aesthetic at the same time its amazing and so rare with pet videos.

This girl is so adorable and so are her beautiful birdies!

The Victoria Raechel of Cockatiels! You are both great people giving great advice about certain animals.

I'm getting a cockatiel soon maybe in a week or so so yeah, SOON. And I found this very helpful even if I knew what was coming 😆 I've been doing research for almost 6 months and firmly believe that I'm ready for one. Thank you for this awesome video and information! I know this is getting buried in the comments but thank you anyway even if you'll never know how grateful I am :)

I am picking up my girl next week. She's a white faced pied pearl. Love watching Charli and Emma hang out with you, beautiful little tiels. I cannot wait to get my buddy 🥰

I love how honest you are.

Her and her room and her plants and her birds have a theme. They just look so good together. IDK OK?

So surprised how long cockatiels live for. We found my family’s cockatiel. We’ve had him for 12 years now 😅

My male cockatiel Lucy, is 29 years old. And I taught him to whistle "Low Rider" He's afraid of hands, but once hes on my shoulder, he is very affectionate and gives me kisses. I can't imagine life without him.

Me: alright time for a shower, Mrs. ( my cockatiels name ) get off. Mrs. *No* Me: pLz Mrs: *NO* Me: **crys** I JUST WANT TO TAKE A SHOWERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

Thank you for being very candid and truthful because I have 2 cockatiels myself. I never had any idea that you can poopoo train these birds, really? Okayyyy...I'll definitely check it out!

I miss having a cockatiel, my grandparent had a male one. He wasn't very yappy at all. I think he connected with 2 or 3 of us in a household of 4 (grandpa and middle uncle). He had the funniest character. Lately I've been contemplating getting one. I have 2 kids age 7 and 4 who've been asking for a cat or dog, and I'm highly allergic to both. You've given me lots to consider.

Those Cocktails are so pretty! I especially love Charlie's markings.

My dad's is called rody we were told it was a male and then the other week it layed 4 eggs over a few days so that was a shock 😲 but wow she is gorgeous and so clever x thank you for a great informative video I will be getting dad to watch this thanks again ❤️

THANK YOU !!!!!!! i was going to start a succulent garden with candles in my room but now i know that if i want a cockatiel then i need too have fake succulents and no candles in less there fake candles and be cautious with perfume and deodorant i also have a disability where i get frequent headaches and have to sleep A LOT !!!!! but i appreciate this video just in case i do get a bird ever but unfortunately not probably but this is helpful just in case

Once my living situation is better I'm considering getting a Cockatiel. I'm homeschooled and really lonely in my day to day life and would love to spend a lot of that free time giving love to a buddy

Her: You’re either here because you have in or are getting one! Me: I’m here watching others live my fantasy that’ll never happen.

I'm about to get a cockatiel and this video was really helpful for me and I really feel like I know how to take care of my soon to be feathered friend so thank you so much!｡◕‿◕｡

I have a Male White faced cockatiel he is very awsome but he doesn't really like to step up but he will go on your shoulder and I don't wanna push him on to get on my finger do you have any advice

My bird happens to love Triscuits, just curious if that's an okay thing to feed your cockatiel

I’ve been lucky enough to have feathered friends my whole life too! I’ve had my two current babies since I was 7 and their personalities are completely polar opposite. ones really chill and loves attention and a snuggle, the other bounces around the place, constantly giving me lip and and is such a character 😂

Thank you so much!! I’m going to get a cockatiel soon 😊 Your videos are so cute and I love your background!!!

thank you SO MUCH i still haven't really started i only saw the intro but im already so excited and amazed by you, i'm planning on getting a cockatiel soon and im really excited.

Thank you so so much for your information on these beautiful babies. I just got a 3 month old pied and he’s very sweet.

I have 2 tiels! One is a Cinnamon boy and the other is a Cinnamon perl pied... one is 19yrs and the other is 3... I love my birbs so much. You are so right with birbs needing attention, they are such sweet birbs. Oh no! I'm so sorry to hear of that with your baby😞 Yours look so cute as well!

Sis your a life saver I didn't take much research so thank you for telling, I'm about to get one and yas :) ty!

i just found your channel and you are the cutest oml. i love the colour theme and your thumbnails are really clean! keep up the good work:)

This video is very helpful because my sister has a bird and she has plants and she lit a candle once so this really helped and I did tell my sister so she put them down stairs

I am here because three days ago I rescued one from being steamrolled by a bus. Now I am suddenly a ‘tiel mom and do not even know where to begin! I did head straight to the neighborhood pet shop and got her (?) a proper-sized cage, appropriate food, and some toys. Now I am just sorting out the details of how to go about creating a happy, healthy home environment for her. From what I could glean through tutorials like yours, I think she may be female and about five months old. Next stop is the vet, I guess. But I want her to feel more at home first. She’s still a little shell-shocked from her near-death experience, I think...

So I’m going to hopefully get a cockatiel and currently own two budgies. My mom has a candle in a different room and up high and rarely ever puts in on, but it’s a “safe candle” for birds and cats because I have a cat too. Is that okay?

Your cockatiels are so cute I love them

I have a male grey cockatiel and a female lutino cockatiel. I've had the male since he was a baby, gifted to me from a family friend, and the female I got at the pet store when she was 6 months old. My male cockatiel is 13 and has turned in to a cranky little old man-bird over the years. He'll bite me if I don't scratch his head just right, and he'll make this annoyed sound if I try to kiss him. My female cockatiel is 8 years old and is finicky and nervous, and it took me a while to gain her trust (she'll let me give her a kiss, but won't let me scratch her head). They are both curious little trouble makers, they love eating snacks and cereals (I'm trying to feed them pellets and healthier foods, but they're picky eaters), and for some reason them both take massive poops immediately after I take them out first thing in the morning. I now carry a little piece of newspaper and have them poop on it before I take them anywhere in the apartment.

Saeshell if you see this first of all big fan!! Second can you please do a video about how much to feed a cockatiel and when to change the food or at least include it on a video? I am planning on getting a tiel myself and i want to be prepared

My first cockatiel I got from a pet shop when he was a baby and he had extremely clipped wings. He was still being fed rearing mix and hadn’t started to fly yet. But when he started to get older and thought he should be flying, he would jump out of the cage and because his winds were SO short, would plummet to the floor. As much as I tired to stop him he’d continue to try and eventually broke his tail doing so. When his flight feathers eventually grew in properly he began to fly a bit but was all over the place because of his damaged tail. It eventually got better and he could fly like a normal bird, but his tail was never the same. So just be cautious about if you do choose to clip, and don’t be extreme about it because it can cause damage.

I love you and your birds!!!! Your so underrated!!!! How are you not famous!!!!!

thank you so much for the information! I have 2 cockatiels and i had NO idea about the candles. thanks so much!!

Watching this with my Nibbles on my shoulder..loved your video..subscribed! ❤ PS..Love you lil Angel's.. I got 3 of em, 2 parrots and 4 budgies..really becomes difficult to distribute time between them,but I still do it..because I love em 😀

Brand new teil owner got her (I think ) yesterday. Thank you thank you thank you. I wouldn't have even thought if some of these things. I'm throwing away every candle in the house today!!!

Your room is so pretty as well as you and your birds! 💚

your cockatiels are absolutely stunning!! i adore white faced cockatiels :]

I love your edits! And all the knowledge is so helpful :)

Wow ! So helpful thank you so much, I also have snake plants and spider plants, I was worried about that. I need to research my orchids and other plants. Hoping to have my bird in the next 2 - 3 weeks

I've had many kinds of bird in my life and there is no better value/companionship/personality/longevity combo than a cockatiel

Lovely and informative video! Giving up scented candles was the hardest change when we got our tiel lol

Omggg i can’t wait for mine! He is coming in December :)

I have 2 little birdies and I totally understand the plant struggle, I have a succulent and cacti garden and I can't keep any of them in the same room with my little guys.

My bird heard Emma singing, then he started whistling😊

Can you do a how to tame a cockatiel video please ive been having one since thanks giving 2019 and I have not took him/her out a cage and that makes me very sad

Such cute video I love it. I became daddy of a 15 days cockatiel Pipoo and now have 2 months it’s been amazing and we bounded so strong

My cockatiel loves corn for some reason...... Like LOVES

Hello. I have a male tiel, and he's singing every day. I usually learn at home, and he's always out of his cage, and always singing on the top of my head🙈🦜

Hey I’m awaiting my local pet shop to bring in some cockatiels. This video was so informative. Thanks heaps. You should definitely be a channel on birds though. You’re really knowledgeable in the subject

What a little cutie bird! Such an adorable tiely 🥰😍🥰

I want to get a cockatiel this December, I own a free roam bunny, so I’m used to seeing destruction everywhere 😂
