  • @3sugarbeans-Can you please make a video regarding on how to train an untamed cockatiel to love you??? There was this kid who made a video about how to train you cockatiel to love you...I don't love it...I want you to make it...Thanks! Anyway, I call my cockatiel "Kirby",too..I <3 your cockatiel! Cool Color!

  • hi can you make a video about taking your bird out and it won't fly away from you. I love your videos.

  • Thanks for the info ... I just got one and it helped alot

  • To Thekicki123 okay, cockatiels don't need a partner bird. Curby (or however you spell it) has a partner...his owner. And about wing clipping, it is cruel, but I've known birds that have flown into windows and died. It depends on what house you live in. It can be cruel, and it is okay, they can still fly, just not up and away. I promise I'm not trying to be rude, but it is for the safety of pet parrots.

  • @jdpeck100 : well, what you say about a partner is incorrect. A human can not replace a partner bird. Cockatiels build strong relationships and spend every minute of their lifes with each other. While the owner is not at home they suffer. Furthermore a human can not practice the species-specific behaviours with the bird. And that is a fact. If you google or read specialised literature everybody will tell you that it is better for the bird to give him a partner.

  • this has nothing to do with species-appropriate "care". 1. Cage is much too small. It's like being trapped in a lavatory 2. she has no cockatiel partner, which is the MOST important thing for those animals, since a human can never never NEVER, substitute that 3. clipping wings?! that's not ok, its cruel. If you would ask your birds if that is ok for them i guess they wouldn't agree.

  • thanks allot I'm getting one for Christmas and this helped

  • Is your cockatiel clipped or just tamed with unclipped wings?

    PLEASE ANSWER!

    -thanks. :))

  • @TheHamstermind17 She said in the video you dickhead

  • what a great introductory video! i learned a lot - you covered all the bases. thank you!

  • Great job! This video is very great!

  • i love your vids

  • u should change its water every day! how would u like it.

  • ur fuckin adorable

  • can you make a new parakeet care video and how come you took clipping a birds wings down? Hope U make more videos!!!

  • You are a very knowledgeable about these birds! And at such a young age! Very good video!

  • are you going to make a other video on how to care for parakeets and can you make a video on clipping wings pleease and is the new flight cage your last video

  • hey, oh my gosh! i LOOOOOOOOVE your vids, could you make a video on convincing people to buuy cockatiels, like that girl Katherine?

  • why did you take out how to carefor parakeets and why are you not making videos and do you have nello

  • @abuzohair1 1. Because it wasn't accurate 2. because im busy 3. not anymore

  • Kirby is so cute

  • witch would be better taller wider?

  • I would recommend you using a tripod.

  • What do you do when you are gone for more than a day? do you take your birds along? Just asking because I am thinking of getting a cockatiel but I might sometimes be away for 1-3 days. On normal days I would be able to let her out even more than an hour so I'd want to buy about the size of your cockatiel cage...

  • Hi thank you for this video it helps me better understand the care of a cockatiel because I'm getting one in a few weeks and I'm gonna take care of it this video was very helpful in my research of care for my bird thanks!!:)

  • Hi I am Katherine

    And I love you videos!

    I am trying to convince my mum and dad to get me and my sister cockatiels.

    Can you make a video convincing people to get cockatiels and how fun they are!

    Thx so much Katherine

  • AWSOME I got to hold one today and ignore the bad coments you take great care of yours u would make a Great vet some day like the other coments said

  • @iwatchtv98 she has an updated vid on how to feed and water ur birds cause what she was doing in this vid was not very good.

    If that's what u mean

  • you dont know what the hell your doing. You piss me off.

  • @iwatchtv98 i know right she actally copied a video

  • i am thinking about getting a bird is there any advice u can give me

  • why do you call him HER

  • You will make a great Vet someday !

  • do u know much about bourke parrakeets and would you be able to make a video about them

  • @kipper0479 I know hardly anything. How about you google it??

  • @3sugarbeans ok and ive named it kirby like your bird lol.

  • @kipper0479 i do

  • Thanks I have a Sengel parrot i always wanted a love bird but my mom said we had to many animals.

  • this is amazing, and its really helpful thankyou! i have just got a cockatiel and im only about your age and he hisses and bites me but im trying to get him use to my finger by putting my finger there and if he bites dont give him millet spray, adventually he let me touch his crest!!! anwyays, thank you for these tips

    x

  • I do prefere waterbottles, water stays cleaner in them, but it doesen`t mean that you must not clean that bottle every day and change water, if it is really hot summer or very light place for cage you may need to clean waterbottle twice a day.

  • My Cockatail will only go on my arm or shoulder but I can't pet him like u do or he will fly away

  • Lots of useful information in this video, thank you :)

  • Ok just to be clear yours is a boy bird lol

  • hey i dont know if my cockatiel is a male or female.(i bought it in christmas and they din't tell me if it was male or female!) it has a big red or orangey spot on its cheek. *BTW its white with yellow* can you plz tell me thx! and these tips help me alot!

  • @XSPLITTOXICX its prob male

  • @3sugarbeans yay thx im gonna buy the female but i dont know when!! lol

  • If I use that sort of bottle,will the bird know that thats where it needs to get the water?

  • @beatricexox Don't use bottle, they are really bad for the bird. Use a water cup and refill it every day

  • Oh and 3sugarbeans if you shower with your bird can the soap hurt it?

  • @LittleMissSuperGirl7 Yesss!!! Don't let soap get near them

  • @cpratheriscool actuall dust is very common, there is a couple videos about that. If you didnt know that, that's sad and I feel bad for your birds.

  • Hey you are so knowledgable about your pets I remember when I was younger I used to save up about 100-150 bucks extra just in case I forgot sumthing lol about your age took like a year :) and I want a tame cockatiel but should I get a hand reared or not and tame it myself just for bonding with him/her I've have ring neck parrot frendly little bugger 5 stars for the vid

  • @looterwolf thanks! You should get a hand-fed one from a really good bird breeder

  • You are a very responsible companion for your birds. Thank you for the video and for taking such good care of your friends.

  • hey,

    im getting a pet cokatiel soon and wondering if anyone knows how to tell the diffrence between a female or male cockatiel(im hoping for a male)? and i need to know when i get him because i can't buy a bird take it to the vet get a dna test find out its femaleand take it back...soo does anyone know?!PS.i love your pets!

  • @32Animallover Males have a large red dot on each side of their face. Females have a grayish one. If it's a white-faced, then the males have really white cheeks and the females don't

  • @3sugarbeans

    i have a cockatiel but he bite s i went through all of the steps you reccomended and hes still biting also ive found another bird im not sure what bird it is though i was in my garden when i heard a weird chirping noise and its a pink bird but it was very ill and it was very cold at the time but i think its ababy because its feathers havent developed fully yet its sharing a cage with my cockatiel now and hes not ill any more but would you be able to find out what it is cheers

  • @kipper0479 Well how much time did you put aside for taming? It can take year. That was nice of you but, take it out of the cockatiels cage!! it's definitely not a good idea. Ifit's a baby it needs to be handfed, kept warm, fed electrolytes, and released back into the wild when it's an adult. It's illegal to take birds out of the wild and care for them. Do take it to a wildlife rehabilitation center as soon as possible b4 it starves to death! it shuld be fed a special formula by experts! Please!

  • @3sugarbeans i do let it out of its cage

  • @3sugarbeans i have found out what it is its a bourke parrekeet and petshop people and they said its ok if i care for it unless some one claims it and i handfeed it

  • @kipper0479 ok...make sure you know what your doing :)

  • @3sugarbeans Do u know much about bourke parrots because thats what the pink birds called would u be able to make a video about bourke parrots cheers.

  • @32Animallover males have bright faces and cheeks. females have fady colours that are not so bright

  • Did your bird start out with a grey face? I have a bird that the breeder says is a white face and will have white cheeks after the first molt but right now he has a grey face.

  • @summerslam1988 Yes he did

  • I want to get a cockatiel but i have some questions. What is the size cage you have i want a good cage for my cockatiel i get many different sizes options some say 18 18 24 some say 18 21 28, how often do you take your birds to an avian vet, should i get it from a breeder or Petco. PLease Answer

  • @Levinjac3900 Please do NOT get a pet from Petco or Petsmart or anything like that! They honestly suck ;) A breeder is a great idea!! A good rule of thumb is at least 20 inches by 20 inches wide, and 26 inches tall as a bare minimum. I only take them to the vet if something is wrong with them. Thanks good luck!

  • I'm looking to get a cockatiel very soon. Very good video. You seem very knowledgeable for your age.

  • Comment removed

  • @abuzohair1 I'm sorry I cannot answer that. First of all, getting a bird because it's cheap isn't a good reason to choose that bird. If someone can't afford to buy a cockatiel at full price, they surely can't afford to keep a cockatiel. They require the expense of food, cages, vet bills if something goes wrong, toys, etc. Sorry but it's the complete truth. You want quality, health, and vitality in a bird, not a low price. Kirby was full price, at about $60 more or less.

  • We just got a cockatiel, he's a 2 year old plaitminum or grey (I don't know sorry) and this video has helped me.

    Because I don't think he was handled much with his last owner, we keep finches and have been giving him millet as a treat so I'm glad to see you do that too! Thanks for posting your video, really appreciate it!

  • You're a very intelligent young lady. Great job with this video. I'm in agreement with everything you say except your bird's diet. Most avian vets would suggest you put your bird on a pellet diet. PS I love your whiteface cockatiel.

  • @mshockey73 Thanks!! But thats funny cuz I switched everyone to a zupreem pelleted diet! I had no idea how bad seed is for them! They dont eat hardly any seed anymore :)) This video is kinda of out of date, I know

  • my cockatiel loves sitting on my head do you know how to get him out of that habit anyone?????

  • thx alot! I like watching your videos. 

  • May you please do a video on daily cockatiel care as soon as possible?! PLease

  • i love your videos.. there soo helpful and you have even inspired me to get a cockatiel <3 thanks so much

  • Your so adorable!!

  • where do you get cockatiels for less price i really want one please comment back

  • wow she is dumb ur right lol and also sugarbeen thats a very common color and uts white head cockatiel i have 19 and 12 are white heads it shoudnt have dust i never clean my room and that never happens i suggest getting that checked

  • @cpratheriscool I'm blocking you because if you can't say something nice then don't say anything at all, jerk

  • i know where to get cockatiels for 25 dollars

  • @reyjeffaidendx The price of a pet isn't what's important, it's the temperament, health, and well-being that matters.

  • I have heard never to feed birds Hartz. It can kill them. Thank you for the tips though!!

  • @Mereyan Its true, I didnt know it at the time! Pellets are the way to go!!!!

  • How old are you, you look like your 6

  • @mripwnatcod that could be offencive to a girl whos like 11+

  • ya i did but idk now imma get mine from a breeder im gonna get a lutino there pretty but ill never forget my first cockatiel my beloved

  • i got a cockatiel that was parent fed and he would come out of the cage and sit on my shoulder i loved her but she died within five days :(:(:(:(:( I HATE PETCO!!!!!!!!!!!

  • @cockatiel890 Aw, im sorry, but were you caring for her properly? Were you giving her access to fresh food and water all day? how big was her cage? i am very sorry, petco is not my favorite place :(

  • @cockatiel890 I got a hamster from petco and it died in like 2 weeks so from this day I hate Petco

  • where do u find millets i looked in a pet store i cant find it i also looked in a supermarket. its not there.

  • i love watching your vidios please post more

  • i love watching ur vids please post more

  • Kirby is very cute! Oh and i recently just got my first cockatiel. He's a normal grey who is very sweet and ill soon show vids on him.

  • I HATE CAGE'S IT MEEN

  • In this video you say that your lovebird isn't tame then how come in some of your other videos you have it on your shoulder and on your hand.

  • @babygirlx24 plus on top of that you said that you handfed it when it was a baby in your other video but in this one now you say that its not hand tamed.

  • @babygirlx24 she is tame but like i already said, she is aggressive, maybe you dont know what that means but she bites, hard.

  • @3sugarbeans i have 5 lovebirds. So i think i would know how they bite.

  • @babygirlx24 thats cool! lovebirds are so pretty!

  • @3sugarbeans i am gettin twoo cockatiles 2moz

    yeyyyyyyyyyyyyy so excited

  • i have a water bottle thing but mine is the smaller one. And dont ask me how but my bird can still poop and put seed shells in it :S

  • Great video! Although, I do disagree with 'any type of food is okay' A lot of pet stores will tell you that cockatiels will live to be about 7, when really they can live to be 30! A proper diet is essential for a happy healthy bird. A high quality seed mix (like Fiesta max) or a Pelleted feed is best. Also, I would like to suggest a few more toys in your cages. Birds need lots of things to keep happy, and I'm sure your lovebird would appreciate a few bells and paper toys. Keep up the good work!

  • i was wondering if u think i should get a cockatiel or a parakeet?

  • CUTE!!!! when you bought her was she tame? Or did you tame him yourself?

  • where do you put the shower perch in the shower. please send me a message with an answer.

  • @nigagigahiga most shower perches have a suction cup on the end, and you stick it to a tile or plastic shower wall. or if you have a stainless showe caddy, you can get bendable rope perches that will attach to them.

  • i got a Cock and i have had him for 5 months and every time i put my finger in the cage to try and put him on my finger he runs away and i have put a millett in the cage he eats off it he and does not run away i dont no what to do?

  • lol, did she just nip your ear?

  • oohhhh she is so cute! i have a boy cockatiel named Skittles but he has the bright orange circles on both of his cheeks ^-^ he is verry trained and u seem like u know a lot about them! wich is a verry good thing for a cockatiel owner :) also, try to tame your love bird, even wear a glove if he bites u but then he will know that u wont hurn him, also, if ur not going to try to tame him get another one so then he has a buddy :) thanks 4 the info too!

  • @xoxostephanie101 The lady at the pet store said that GLOVES SCARE THE BIRDS SO DON'T WEAR GLOVES OTHERWISE HE WILLL BE SCARED OF U AND WILL NEVER BE TAME!!!!!!!!!!!1

  • @lemurfan123 well the lady at the pet store must be pre stupid because my bird is not scared of gloves. i guess it matters on the bird. but like if someone wore gloves and then tryed to cut its wing but then the bird got hurt. of course the bird will be scared of someone wearing gloves!

  • Comment removed
