Decoding Cockatiel Body Language: Surprising Secrets Revealed! 

Keep in mind that cockatiels need at least 12 hours of sleep everyday. So you don't need to stress over your cockatiel being lazy for a portion of the day

I wish I knew this before my bird is gone 😭😭 i miss her so much

Our cockatiel puffs up when he is relaxing and wanting a nap or napping :) So it depends, I don’t think being puffy is always a sign of stress. On the other hand, when he was sick, he also puffed up and slept a lot… So it seems like both sleeping(relaxing) and/or being stressed could correlate with puffiness

Dinky and Yoyo, my tiels so appreciate the information you provide and helps them to have better lives.

These videos help A LOT

Wow tysm I just got a. Cockatiel 2 days ago and he Hiss at me now I know and will take much more care of him😊

Actually most of the time if cockatiel bobs their head it means 2 things one is they are telling you to come close or they are trying to go to somewhere or to you sometimes it means they will fly to where they want to go

doesnt puffed up feathers mean that they feel comfortable around you like my Cocatiels did when they where around my shoulder

my bird sits at the bottom of the cage but when we took her to the vet she’s fine so idk why she does it? i mean she talks to the faces on the newspaper but other than that idk why?

Ok let me clear one thing up one of the signs of sickness was looking around to sit it was like that now it got some people thinking that their birds are sick no that aren’t sometimes this happens in friendly males like mine cuz their much more energetic and their friendly they’ll wait for you at the cage oftheir doors this happens to Maine and don’t worry they just want to play as their friendly and their energetic

😊 thank you for this is really important

My cockatiel doesnt have any voice since I bought him only when he id scared, he gives two short screams😢

I have a bird that extends his wings up and hits his beak on my finger and I have no idea what that means…

pls explain this behaviour of my cockateil - He constantly makes hissing sounds and do not whistle more oftenly. is this because he is alone in his cage?

I have an extremely aggressive cockatiel, his name is Peter and he cannot mate properly with his girlfriend winter and will physically harm her if the eggs don't hatch, as well as being abusive literally everyday but having separation anxiety when they are apart. I have tried to bond with him in hopes if could ease his focus off of winter. The only problem with this is he's a relatively smart bird, he can bite and it hurts and I get a bit scared sometimes, he can sing and has copied some o my sounds but I haven't gotten much further with my cranky boi.

Thank you so much for all your helping videos and your time 💐

My little boy sometimes spread a little bit his wings with shape of armadillo and moving his whole body from left to rigt. What does it mean?

One time my cocktail was drinking water then he started sneezing and then he coughed some gooey white thing I didn’t touch it but it looked so gross and I want to know what it is if you know tell me please

just have a doubt. My cockatiel does preening very frequently, is it itching sensation or its just natural to do? and my cockatiel sleeps less than 11 hrs per day but still i dont see any problem occuring

I’m on the way to get another bird but they don’t have males left so they have the ones that are unknown gender so please can someone explain how I can identify

Sometimes they shiver what does it mean? I assumed they might be cold or sick, but then they act normal, so what could it possibly mean for birds to shiver?

I think my cockatiel is sick because he sneezes a lot I might take him to the vet and thank you ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

My bird always sleeps is that normal? Cause she does fly alot as well she goes on my head and eats and flys more and more

This is amazing I just don’t believe it now I know how to know how my parents at and what it saying to me. This is the Jess it’s just it’s just the deal Dy been looking for. Thank you.😮😂❤🎉

I have a cockatiel bird but I don’t know why he closes his eyes and down his head. He is sick?

Our cocktail is extremely aggressive when we approach his cage. He doesn't like us cleaning the cage or changing his food and water. And we can't touch him he goes ballistic if we even try to touch him. He's about 12 years old now and he's always been this way. He used to sing but not anymore.

My cockatiels don't really like me and seem to consider me a stressor. They eat (but my GOSH they are picky, can anyone give me ideas about what they might like also if they like baby spinach? I'm running out of options.) and sometimes they come out, fly a few rounds on my room, sit on the top of the furniture and when they are hungry they return to their cage. I'm wondering if one of them is despressed however. She is not as active as her male friend and sometimes sits puffed up, but she eats well, her droppings seem fine and they already had an antibiotic treatment when they got here (my parents purchased them from a store and they got here sick.) Can I help her some way? Also, they never even touched their toys. I have a feeling that my poor babies are bored. Can I help them somehow?

Sometimes my cockatiel raises his tail and opens his wings a little bit, then he starts making noise. What does that mean? Is he a she?

I have a bird wich is boy and girl for 4y they never had babies is that a bad thing

My love birb is always lunging and biting but my cocktail is always singing she also get kinda annoyed when I touch her when she’s singing

I have a cockatiel Named frosty and the last 3 days she has been sleeping twice a day is that normal?

YOU ARE HELPING ME BECAUSE I AM GETING A COCKATIEL

another meaning of head bobbing is when they are about to fly

Min doesn't have any feathers under her wings what is the problem

My cockatiel bites whenever he doesn’t want to get out of his cage, get off of the windowsill, or get off of me. He also makes a little screech noise too.

Hlw...my baby bird is 1.5 months..he eats 3 or 4 times a day 15 ml....is this right or wrong?
