our older cockatiel just hit 21 years.

@christiesilva6918 7 лет назад

Woew!!congrats!! I hope mine will get there looovee himm

@PsychoticBovine 7 лет назад

he has had some rough spots over the years, several illnesses. I learned how to give shots pretty good to the little feathered bugger.

@Robotlien 7 лет назад

So how's he doing now? That must have been one healthy cockatiel to live through 21 years :)

@PsychoticBovine 7 лет назад

He's healthy and strong. Has a messed up wing due to a previous injury, so he can't fly. He does look old, though. Still very active, sings and plays. Unfortunately, he's a biter, he has to be in just the right mood to be touched.

aww my mum has a grey, yellow and white Cockatiel named Sid, he was abused when he was two years old and now he is happy and whistles his heart out everyday.

@kaylanichole5961 5 лет назад

Alex Colderley Wow, I have a cockatiel (grey, white,and yellow too!) who was also abused. We rescued her and she’s happy too! What a coincidence.

As long as you give them love they are happy

@VickysStuff 8 лет назад

Another con is that these birds will SCREAM for attention if they don't feel they're getting enough, and they are extremely loud. Something to bear in mind if you live in an apartment, or if you just can't tolerate screeching. Granted, a happy, busy cockatiel shouldn't spend all day screaming, but I've met some who are very demanding, and if you're say, watching TV and they're in their cage behind you, they'll consider that completely unfair and will just scream endlessly until you pay them some attention.

@makk09mao 7 лет назад

Vicky There are very social animals, maybe next time you watch tv you can perch them on your shoulder

@bluesky7768 6 лет назад

Vicky males are loud . females are not

@bluesky7768 6 лет назад

Llama Girl Alo i had female and male cockatiel my female laid unfertilized eggs 🥚 too but ever since male died she stopped laying eggs its been 2 years. when i leave her she screams also but in the cage she never screams literally never while male was screaming nonstop

@neytiri526 6 лет назад

My old female literally screamed if I changed the channel on the TV. She was such a sassy little lady lol. Sadly she passed away 2 years ago. However I'm glad to have spent 10 years with her :) RIP baby x

@mimi-dy8uc 6 лет назад

I bought my bird when my son moved out. After two weeks my son came to visit and my bird was in love with him so much so that when he drove up she would scream when she saw his car.

@jameshamilton7913 7 лет назад

also NEVER keep them in the cage for their whole lives, you wouldnt like that so they wouldnt either

@TheTundraTerror 7 лет назад

Yeah... I would never live that... ever... >.>

@kbcguevo69 6 лет назад

the only times i put mine on the cage is when its time to sleep and when im going out somewhere everytime im home hes everywhere

@neytiri526 6 лет назад

My bird had her cage open all day everyday. Only closed if I wasn't home or went to bed to ensure her safety. She lived a very satisfying life until she passed away due to old age 2 years ago. To me I believe a birds cage is it's bed, not its home. It should have a choice to come and go as pleases :)

@Blue_Anzu 8 лет назад

They love to be with people as stated in the video, so I assume they won't mind being touched, just make sure they know what you're doing, don't come up behind them and try to pet them, it could startle them

@christiesilva6918 7 лет назад

Hii great advice,very nice,l love so much my cockatiel,he really enjoys my company,wants to be on my shoulder all the time,and if i have to go somewhere he will whiste for me to come back,yeah i would advise that you should only have cockatiels if you have a lot of time to spend with them cause they will be sad and depressed otherwise,they love us

@lorae7 6 лет назад

What a wonderful well spoken video. Thank you. I have a younger cockatiel and we just love her to pieces - so very affectionate

@signecrawford2 6 лет назад

Your bird videos are super informative and educational. You present the information extremely well and efficiently and you don't ramble on and on. I've noticed that In alot of bird education/training videos the presenters tend to repeat what they're trying to say over and over and even contradict themselves and it can get frustrating and confusing for the viewer. You don't do that at all. Also, your birds seem to be very happy and healthy and it's obvious you spend alot of time with them and take great care of them. Thank you for creating such great videos.

@TheCockatielCorner 6 лет назад

Thank you so much for your extremely kind comment. I'm glad that you find my videos helpful, and I appreciate your watching! Best to you.

Thank you for this helpful video, we are thinking about getting one soon and we are trying to educate ourselves to make sure that we will provide him/her with the best possible care. We are very much looking forward to adopting our new little friend!

@nyautotradersleasing7290 4 года назад

My three cockatiels are really happy I had them for a long time there all pretty calm with each other and with me they hang out on my shoulders and one hangs out on my head while I’m doing work while I talk with them 😊

@NerdwithaBird 6 лет назад

Excellent video! Especially the part about the dust/dander that cockatiels generate. Not many videos talk about that aspect of cockatiel but the STRUGGLE IS REAL! Thanks for the videos. My cockatiel Larry Bird is 20 years old... and he has produced 20 years of dust and dander too!

@suesorensen2440 5 лет назад

What a gorgeous bird! Thank you for sharing your information. I've had cockatiels, budgies, and love birds, and have enjoyed them all. They all have their own little personalities. One thing I know my birds LOVE, is a bath, either in a shallow pyrex dish filled with about 2 inches of warm water, or a spray bottle misting. It's entertaining to watch them spread their wings and enjoy bath time...

I have two lovely self-tamed cockatiels and I love them with all my heart. Their names are Kiki and Ravi. Cockatiels are great starter birds if you are new to the bird world! I was surprised to see that every bird has a different personality. Your cockatiel has beautiful colouring and I can already see he is a lovely companion.

I am getting a cockatiel in 5 weeks, its a baby and its getting weaned. So it will be young when I get him/her. I'm super excited. I have a large cage specifically for him/her & toys already. I already have 5 budgies that I've had since they were born. I am so excited, the budgies are my daughter's (i let her think that...lol), this will be mine. So so excited and love & appreciate your videos.

@zanderzoo_7586 6 лет назад

I’m getting a cockatiel soon and this really helped. I have 3 pages of research and a playlist of stuff I don’t have written down. I either want a normal gray Latino or a white faced cockatiel. I’m hoping that my dogs and my bird have a good bond cause I think it would be cute for the bird to ride on one of He dogs. Thanks for the video!

@Sheri45myvideos 8 лет назад

He is so cute!! I love the white and the grey in his face is cute. I notice that he doesn't have round orange air patches too. My cockatiel is a female and she is 20 years old and still going strong and healthy. She is actually chirping a lot write now because she can hear the birds in this video.

@martingrosse1097 7 лет назад

Hi, my cockatiel lived for 27 years. Never showed a sign on getting old on his feathers. Sadly he passed away about a year ago but they can live well over 20 years for sure if they are in a great and healthy environment :) PS. He was always outside of his cage, only time he was in it was during the nights when he was sleeping.. i had to put him inside each night DS.

@sabrinaaraccuglia7875 8 лет назад

I have a Royal Crest Cockatiel named Prince. Though I showed this video to them in order to get him so my parents said maybe. But I got home today and my dad told me to go clean my birds (I have parakeets) and when I looked at the cage I saw the Cockatiel and I flipped out! Thank you so much for making this video! It has truly changed the minds of my parents!!!😂😘😍

@enz0368 3 года назад

Ive had my male cockatiel since hatched and hes also my first bird ive had him for 6 months now and i love him! Hes already flight trained and can slightly say his own name (Rio) and always wants head scratches 😂 ive also got a bunch of toys for him and a lot of ladders so he wont struggle to go anywhere in the cage or out i mostly have his cage open aswell just so he feels free and doesnt feel trapped inside the cage so he can actually see it more as a home rather than a prision im curretly trying to pooty train him which isnt the easiest but its getting there so if theres any tips i would give is that DONT get a cockatiel just to talk or think that its gonna be the cleanest thing in the world or the easiest because it is not at all but if ur able to handle that they are truly something special!

@soledad3279 5 лет назад

@maryjxne4881 6 лет назад

Im so glad I came to this video. If I got a cockatiel without knowing it's pros and cons I would've gotten my mom to have bad allergies with the dandruff

@sparklewink 8 лет назад

I wanted to add that for asthma/allergy sufferers, you can invest in an air purifier to set in the room the cockatiel will live in. They are pricey but are great at eliminating the dander from the air and also reduce dust in rooms overall :)

Question: Would cockatiels be ok for college life? He’s going to live very long, and I don’t want to give him away.

@ebru655 6 лет назад

FoxyTheFoxAndFriends e when u can take care of them ofc (u need at least 2)

@TheCockatielCorner 6 лет назад

They can be good for a college student. If living in a dorm, understand they can be messy and noisy, so that may not go over well with roommates or neighbors. They also require several hours of attention daily, so make sure you have enough time to spend with a bird. If not, a pair may be more ideal which means....more noise, more messy :-).

@rodneysworld8328 5 лет назад

It is possible that you can also foster or adopt so they have a few more years on them.

@lulwamokhtar9866 5 лет назад

Rodney’s World yes it is possible! And by that u would be rescuing a bird in need! But it would be harder for u to tame/bond with it
