  • Keep the good work up your so good with pets man!

  • this is a very great video :)

  • can you teach my bird not to be mean and how to talk??

  • Thats not a bird....thats Pikachu! o:

  • @LetsDraw12 it's funny:P i named my bird pikachu :D he even looks like pikachu even more ;)

  • FFFFFFFFFFF- my bird thinks my nails are food >A<

  • that bird is so cute!

  • camera: im watching you bird...

  • Just record your voice and play it over and over again.

  • My cockatiel's name is Victor and Victor is a baby. but he wont eat formula can you make a video showing me why he doesnt eat, or atleast tell me? lol

  • Mine says his name,and imitates sounds :p

    I think he learned his name cause when I come home from school I always yell KIWI! Very happy like I haven't seen him in years :p

  • I got a parakeet 2 hours ago, and it just stands in spot keeps breathing and opening his mouth, and I really want him to be a happy and I want his trust, could you please give me a comment back on how to with more details and help?

  • @justme5ppl Ok well you just got him wow almost the same time i got my cockatiel. Anyways don't make any loud sounds, talk to him and whistle thats what most birds like. Make sure you dont stick your finger in til he calms down and it will take it a few days or so for him to get used to you and his new home.

    Hope this helped :)

  • @justme5ppl Be patient and calm with your bird. First let it become comfortable with you around the cage by just sitting by it and talking to it , then get it to be used to your hand in the cage by just putting your hand in and letting it sit there. And eventually move on to feeding it treats from hand and stepping up . They take time and patience. & dont ever get mad at it and scream or hit/smack it . Dont let any cat or others animals around it that could hurt your bird either .

  • I rescued a cockatiel from a pet store today, when I saw him in the big glass open cage, he kept trying to follow me so i bought him, he keeps climbing my shoulder and i am going to teach him to talk

  • @josepasillas530 r u from tucson that sounds like where i got 2 of them from and had to leave 1

  • @DaMrLegoMan nope, i went in red bluff, california

  • cockatiels cant talk

  • shut up poor little cockatiel he should not be in a pet shop

  • my bird knew how to sing the zelda secret tune

  • i have that same bird and he wont come on my finger ive had him for 2 days and he reaaly fistey what should i do

  • @itZRaDaRR i have that same bird and ive had him for 6 months and he is mean he riped up my finger thanks to him my finger talks

  • @itZRaDaRR Hey, if it is a hand-reared bird, then no doubt he's just scared because he isn't used to you. When I got one of my two Cockatiels, she was scared to death, we could hold her for a few seconds but then she'd fly off into walls and cupboards and windows. Basically you just have to keep trying and being calm until your new tiel gets used to you. It's probably a bit scared at the moment because you're a new person and it's in a new place. Give it time to get used to you :)

  • Neat. Now all I have to do is get a bird. :D

  • i really want a cockatiel but my mom says their loud and stinky and i tell her she's wrong but she doesn't listen! ;(

  • Comment removed

  • @MrOwlDre these birds are VERY good pets if they are trained well. im getting my cockatiel friday.

  • @trophyfisher13 im getting mine on monday what color is yours

  • @templar897 kind of a mix between pearl and cinnamon. hes very pretty!

  • @trophyfisher13 cool im getting a black and yellow one also how big does the cage need to be

  • @templar897 ummmmm mine is past the minimum it should be... 24"x16"x16" is my cages dimensions. he can all but fly in it =]. hope i helped!

  • what can i do when my cockatiel is afraid to death from me.he always runs away on the other site of cage there is no chance to touch or catch him.what should i do to make him more friendly???i own him for 3 weeks now.

  • @pornofa

    i have the same problem with both my cockatiel..

  • @pornofa You could probably just go slow with him because it can take a long time to acclimate to an environment. He probably views you as a predator if you come storming over and try to forcefully take him from his cage. Move some of his food or treats up to the top of the cage and open the door, if his wings are trimmed or clipped. Go slow. If you approach the cage, don't rush over. Walk slowly. Stuff like that. There are a lot of videos you can also look up. Help books help too.

  • @toughgirl06 hi.yes his wings are clipped but he don,t want to walk out of the cage no mather how long is it open or if someone else is in the room with him.i putted a camera in the front of the cage for 30 min.he did nothing.not a single move.i afraid because he did not eat so i removed him from the cage with a glove on my hand because he bites like crazy to show him that i am not hes enemy but nothing helps.he still bites and inside the cage he always runs on the other side away from you...

  • Are you filming this at Petland?! (cool if you are!)

  • i wonder y the bird in his hand didnt tlk i thought maybee he will show us he bird tlking

  • 'Hello Birdie'

    'FUUUUUUUUUUCK'

  • Can a male regular cockatail talk

  • Pdjdsmikk

  • Heheheh. He keeps saying ''bird'' and ''word''. Wait a minute ....

    BRIAN DON'T!!

    B-B-B-BIRD BIRD BIRD! BIRD IS THE WORD!!!

  • Whenever I walk through my door my cockatiel says " Hi pretty baby" lol her name is Baby

  • Isn't that bird a female?

  • อยากเห็นนกพูดเว๊ยไม่ได้อยากเห็­นมุงบ่น

  • NO DA

    

  • lol if i got a bird id want it to say *hey asshole* everytime i walk into the room

  • i said "hi." with emotion and my cockatiel said "fuck you!"............

  • my Cockatiel no talking dont licke apple no orange licke nothing is bad my bird all day i say hello and bye bye and nothing ...

  • Guy: "Chances are he's going to be doing it too"

    Cockatiel: *locking all innocent* xD

  • can a female normal gray cockatiel talk???

  • @261redwolf a female cockatiel of any coloration can learn 2 talk

  • I started saying to my parakeet jokingly show me the Boobies. He never repeated the saying or talked till a year later he shocked me when he started the saying. At first it was sort of funny but now it's nonstop and embarrassing. So a word to the wise be careful on what your saying.

  • i feed mine hot cheetos is that bad

  • @savagly123

    Really bad

  • the bird is not being a butthead. he has a choice.

  • UGH i HATE birds well as a pet when i was 5 my birds always bit the crap out of me!

  • @yukariminato if you hate birds dont even watch the video... and waste your time

  • what would you do if it started biteing you ? would you have to kill it?

  • Lol I can imagine talking to the phone with my friend...

    "Hold on, my cockatiel's in the room...Don't say anything creepy."

  • the way to teach a bird to talk is to repeat the words in the few seconds after you get its attention.

    watch my video for a real life demonstration

  • PETCO!

  • i liked plz how old the cockatiel should be to begin learning? i mean is it better the cockatiel be younger plz replay and thanks

  • @AhmedUsaFaid It doesn't really matter how old for it to start learning, but if you teach it early, you will have more time to teach it more things. So that means the bird will repeat a lot of things.

  • i want mine 2 cuss lol it will be pefect

    

  • Havnt you hear that the BIRD is the word

  • @totte95a  i bet you didnt hear that song before family guy like wtf dude

  • @Mii450 then you lost the bet my dad had the song album and showed it to me when i was 8 =D but yeah i did think that episode was awesome and (im getting of topic).....................wel­l lol yeah its a funny song

  • THX now im ready when i get mine =D

  • Tpye in the search box "parrot with no feet"

  • I think what this guy forgot to say is that it also has to be in the birds nature to wants to learn to talk. Not all birds will talk eventually if u follow those 3 steps, at least that what i think :/

  • i think this happend to my parit kewee since its ben a bunch of years kewee keeps saying happy birthday over and over again xD

  • lol little butthead

  • My Senegal parrot yells "shit!" and "shut up" at me all the time. I yell it back at him, he yells it back at me...it's a contest!

  • @fvshkatie i dont think thats healthy, lol

  • How do you stop the bids from pooping everywhere

  • @krest4312 When he is out, time him between poops. Once you get the timing down,you can put him back in the cage when it's "poop time". Once he poops, he can come back out again until it's time for the next poop. Eventually he may get the idea that he can only poop in his cage and he may start going in the cage to poop on his own. good luck.

  • @krest4312 A lot of it that you need to learn their timing. Often times, there'll be physical clues around the time they need to go. For my cockatiels, they'll fluff up in a certain way. For my macaw, if I'm holding him, he'll all of a sudden get very fidgety and will want to get away so that's my cue to get him to his cage or a garbage can. Some people have taught their birds to verbally tell them, but it all starts with you.

  • My birds do not like fruits or veggies...love tortilla chips though.

  • THE BIRD IS THE WORD!!!

  • lol my frieneds cockatiel yells "FUCK" all the time

  • God this man is unattractive.

  • Well this vid DOES help;

    Owell!

  • why is it always fat ppl

  • @hahafunnyguy1 - Why is what always fat people?

    Also, this guy just has a large frame. Not truly fat, I don't think. Lol.

  • stop moving your hand about, and DON'T call a living animal a butt head! YOUR the BUTT HEAD!!!!!!! Butt head. Anyway It's probably because you treat him/her badly!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • @lemurfan123 - He was kidding, dude. And he's not moving his hand that much. Considering the bird isn't flying away, I'd say he treats it pretty well.

  • @Dan00bindahouse I AM NOT A DUDE THANKYOU VERY MUCH I AM A FEMALE!!!!!!

    Any way I'm not saying moving the hand about effects the bird, ITS ANOYING ME CUZ I CAN'T STOP LOOKING AT IT!!

  • @lemurfan123 - Lol

  • @Dan00bindahouse Well...

  • My bird say Merciful crap lol i think ive been saying that to much

  • does it have to be a male?

  • @sniperspy7 nope... i have a few. mine are female and can all talk :D

  • wow he's beautiful!

  • i once had a mute cockateil

  • ive even tried covering his cage but dat wud scare him even more...even when he lights r on...the only way he stays in the cage is when i sit close by and talk to him continuously...otherwise he tries getting out...please tell me how to get him 2 sleep in his cage

  • i have a very sweet male cockateil dat is rely attached to me...i have had him since nearly four months now...at first i didn't put him in a cage at all as i felt he might feel traped in it...i wud let him sleep on his stand at nite...but i think putting him in cage is much safer but he seems to hate his cage...he wont sit in it even when i put his mirror in it dat he's crazy about

  • "lots of homes wont take in birds that swear a lot." LOL

  • lol having sex yeah they ould pickup that sort of thing but if i ere her i wouldent have kept it in the bedroom lol!

  • hey if i took my cockatiel out of the cage is he gonna sit on my finger like that or take off

  • @NWOalready dependes. does he like you? O_o

  • @alliexxoo no

  • My neighbor has cockatiels.

  • lol after that camera was turned off the bird kept saying repetition,emotion,and reward.....LOL

  • i want to have it tooo

  • btw-can you teach a buggie couse i have 1

  • @gypsywomancanada1702 You can teach budgies. I had a friend who used to have a budgie that would say, "Pretty Bird." She was really smart. It's amazing smart such a small animal can be. But they are not as easy to teach as large parrots. I owned a budgie and never was able to teach it anything but I also didn't have alot of patience for it. Good luck!

  • @H2Ojustaddwaterchick what....?

  • Wot other types of pet birds can talk??

  • i want mine to talk, i am having trouble! every single day, when ever i pass my bird's cage before i leave i always say: Hey, potter! my bird is named potter :-) and i've been doing it for a long time. and some times everyone is mad and everyone yells! and sometimes Swears,

  • @LYLTjohnny lol

  • @LYLTjohnny ROFL!!

  • @LYLTjohnny dam lol the bird musta listened very closey now

  • @STICKAZOMEZ S**t and Said are the two words I found in this

  • @LYLTjohnny Oh c'mon... you saw that on 2 and a half men

  • @Amithrius you deserve to be beaten by birds! Obviously you are a horrible person! I would beat the *crap out of you! I am a human!

  • so??

  • great tips THX a lot :)

  • any one plz reply what is th best treat for a budgie other than millets plz reply !!!!!!!!

  • My tiel should be 4 months old by now (I do not know the exact date of birth) and still doesn't say ANYTHING, can't even whistle though I play the same tunes everyday when practicing with the flute :( should I definitively suppose it's a female?

  • omg my bird will have a sailor's mouth my mom swears like it breathing DX

  • they don't talk they mimic... to talk they need to understand....

  • What if they live in a pair.  Will they still learn to talk?

  • well my daughters bird will say heeeeeey mama hey mama to get her attention and he loves to be kissed and he will put his face against your lips to get you to blow on his face and .. what .. use to be his favorite word

  • I've had a cockatiel for 4 years now he doesna't say anything and he doesn't eat anything but his food some how I don't think this is normal he won't even eat spagetti like my first cockatiel did. what's wrong with him other then the fact that he's mental we already figured that out lol

  • my cockatiel cant talk shes only 2 i hope she will but we tamed her very well

  • female cockatiel doesn't talk

  • females can but it is even harder

  • thank you:)

  • Good  advice

  • pretty bird is a pointless thing to teach them its hard cuz they have no lips

  • my old bird could

  • lol that sounds funny XD

  • gytarok - cockatiels can and do talk ;) . Most people don't teach them how though so most birds only mimic. I have a cockatiel who only says 'Shut up!' at night when another bird is making noise. The other bird will stop singing.

    As to why he says 'Shut up' (and taught the other birds to say it)- this male likes to sing all the time and we live in an apartment. He only gives kisses when on my shoulder, too.

  • copycat..

  • i have a pet cockatiel but he can't talk yet. He has just learnt to get use to us. I'm trying to teach him to say his name, Sunny.

  • my dad is thinking about breeding cockatiels,taming them,then selling them do you think you could get more $ out of a bird that has been trained not to bite? if so how mutch?

  • me and my grandad breed cockatiels you do get more money but its hard each bird is diffrent and each bird takes 3 to 4 weeks in my experience when its a baby so is the extra money worth all the hassel to you

  • my cockatiel just said pretty burt...

    is that supposed to be pretty bird?

  • dude! now (thanks to 1:14 ) your bird's going to learn to say 'butt head' papaya :P

  • Nice! Do they have to be a certain age before you teach them? I got two birds back in June & they're about 6 months now.

  • awesome ! I want mine to curse !!

  • cockatiels cannot talk, they don't say words but they will immitate closely the word

  • haha buthead and two cheeks on the side haha

  • Try saying " piece of papaya" ten times

  • my Cockatiel favorite food is soup

  • my Cockatiels favorite food is cool ranch doritoes

  • @xTSxPUNISHER lol. I have one too. Its name is Maria. I did'nt know it was a male when I named it that lol

  • @MissWWE20 - Maria is a cute name for a bird.

    ...When it's FEMALE. XDD

  • My WF 'tiel Sparta unfortunately swears!

    Two of my four cockatiels can talk.

  • I thought if you have more than one they won't talk! Thankyou this gives me hope. ^_^

  • I have four, and Sparta talked when I had two other birds, and he was almost a year. They WILL talk, you just need a lot of one-on-one time, and maybe a separate cage.

  • um is good to feed my bird house food cuz he seem to like stake n i give him house food

  • one time i put my bird out side n like two black people were walking by n my bird said nigga n they got pretty piss off at me while they were saying shit my bird was still cussing n man shit was funny

  • my bird cuss alot he say nigger bitch fuck shit go to hell

  • lmfoa i wanna cockateil 2 say nigga 2 ma famz n c wut theyl say lmao

  • My cockatiel can talk, his name is Alfalfa and anyone who walks in my house he says Hi Alfalfa...lol!

    He also says Come Here, what you doing, Hi, barks like a dog, Do Eagle and he will open his wings, he always sings to my beardie (his own versions)...

  • i'v had my cockatiel for less than a week and just by bonding with her she has never bit me and never gets aggressive. I really want to teach her to talk as well. When she whistles it sounds like and imitation but not the actual word.

  • I have been doing this with my wife for 19 years and it still has not worked.

  • lmao

  • Thanks dude.

  • wow, he is the reptile guy aswell

  • stfu and show an exampl!

  • my pet bird only likes to go outside her cage when she has her little friend next to her.and my other bird gets on my hand and lets you touch his head.he likes to get out side . when i put my hand on his feet he gets on.

  • mine do not like to be touch by anyone i got them a few months ago and they still are afraid because they weren't touched before im a little sad about it because it seems like im getting close to to them but they are not to me any tips anyone?

  • well my cockatiel didnt want to be touched for the first couple weeks but then i started getting her on my hand (wearing a glove because she used to bite) and then after some time she started to follow me wherever i go one important tip though only approach your bird when they want to because if u force them to be with you they wont like you maybe even fear you

  • when we first got our cockatiel we left it for a week to settle and then my dad picked it up, firstly it was constently biting him but then after a while it will trust you. (it took my dad about a week) now she will let ANYONE pick her up and she make loads of sounds but were close to her talking!

  • well my tiels are super aggressive
