@KayDFlo There are many toturials on youtube, but I can try to help you. First bird needs to be young. Talk to it 10 min two times everyday untill it gets used to you. Then you can try to feed him with you hand. Millet works best. Move the hand closer to him. Try to make him jump on your hand to eat. And then after a while he sould be tame. :) Search on google for toturials. There are many good toturials that show you how to tame you bird step by step. :)
i wish my cockatiels could do this now, we clipped my first ones wings because he flew away and is to afraid to go outside and now my second one i got a few months back loves outside and were to worried she wont come back
wow this is adorable <3 I wish I could take my bird outside but I'm too afraid ): he's flown away once and it was a miracle I got him back so I don't want to risk again. I didn't realize people took their birds outside at all :o
@LuvXHate Thanks for the comment :). Some people train the bird to always fly back to them. Which is the hard way, and some people clip their wings which is the easy way. Like I did. Good to hear you gor your bird back :)
@petrit1995 ...some people parent their kids not to run away. which is the hard way. and you will probably chop their legs off? -> would be the easy way;) ... -.-
@Jul3sRul3sxD humans are more intelligent then birds. If I tell my kid not to run away, he listens to me. If I tell my bird to not fly away, he doesn't listen to me. Their wings grow back. Human legs dont grow back. How can you compare clipping birds wings with cutting of human legs?
@petrit1995 you just told us that its possible to train the bird to fly back to you.. so apparently in some way a cockatiel "listens" to you.
even if the wings grow back, you clip them everytime they do. so where is the big diference between -never have wings to fly- and -never have legs to walk- ?
@Jul3sRul3sxD Omg... A humas is 10 000 times smarter than a parrot. And learning them to fly back to you is pain in the ass andd takes VERY long time. They can still walk and fly, but not that long. I only clipped her wings ONCE to tame her. Please understand.
@petrit1995 yeah, we just have different opinions. see, my birds are allowed to fly in my living room the hole day. they dont hurt themselves by flying againt the window or wall because 1. i have curtains and 2. they really know how to fly and have enough places in the room where they can land. i just enjoy to see them having so much fun flying around.
i hope youll try it too and i would love to see another video of your pretty girl experiencing her wings:)
@Clos111888 But they can still get themselves into trouble, even with clipped wings. They can flutter enough to get into the trees, and from there you can loose them. They can get into all other kinds of troubles too. thats why i always used a bird harness to make sure I had my birds safe if we were outside. They hated it at first, but they got used to it.
My cockatiel has her wings clipped and she is very happy. she is about a year and a half to two years old. when i got her the pro's told me to clip her wings for her own safety so she wouldnt hurt herself if she tried flying. she still tries to fly occasionally but has never been harmed from it, thanks to her wings being clipped. if her wings werent clipped the poor little girl would have ran right into so many walls and doors. I'm glad her wings are trimmed for that exact reason.
Why don't you just stop clipping the wings and let her fly inside instead? It would make her a lot happier. Comparing clipping wings with hair or nails is just ignorant.
@FridatUtube clipping wings is recommended for safety and its easier to tame the bird when they don't fly away everytime you touch them. And NO, its not ignorant to say that clipping their wings is like clipping my hair or nails. It IS just like clipping your hair or nails.
@petrit1995 I don't know who you mean recommend it, where I live they discuss forbidding it since it prevents the bird from its natural behaviour = flying. My birds were easy to tame and I never clipped them, it's just a matter of time and trust. If you get a bird who is older it might be harder to tame but I don't think that's a reason to clip the wings.
@FridatUtube You live in Sweden right? I live in Norway and i haven't heard anything about making wing clipping forbidden. Bird experts, the vet, the store i bought the bird from and everyone recommend wing clipping for safety. This cockatiel is a girl and girls are harder to tame then boys. The boy was very easy to tame but the girls was harder and i flew away everytime i touched her. Thats why i clipped her wings. Does this answer you question?
@petrit1995 I'm sure you do what you think is best but it makes me really sad and angry to here so called "experts" in Norway say this. Why even have a bird if you don't want it to fly since it's so essential to them? Don't get that. Not the safety argument either. I've had birds for ~30 years, I could tame them all with time and trust so it's not like I'm making things up, I know cockatiels inside out. Pls read this:
@FridatUtube You act like a bird not flying is the end of its world.. I have a parrot who is 26 years old and a majority of his life he couldn't fly and he is one of the most content and happy birds I have seen and when you clip their wings it doesnt stop them from flying per se they can fly DOWN so they don't hurt themselves but thats it plus if you let a bird out.. by nature it will want outside so it can very easily hit a glass window and hurt itself... THAT is just common sense
@petrit1995 That is so not true what you're saying that cockatiel girls are harder to tame than boys. I have a girl too and didn't had any problems taming her. From a totally wild bird and a bird that is afraid od her own shadow,she became the sweetest little birdie that likes to cuddle,she loves when i scratch her,when i kiss her...all that in just less than 2 months. Now if you think that 2 months is long period for a bird to tame,than you're very wrong. Doesn't matter if it's a girl or a boy.
@TheLittlePillow It is true. Not just from self experience but i've read about it on many cockatiel sites. Maybe it was easy to tame your cockatiel because it has another personality then my bird. Right now i have two new budgies. One boy and one girl. I've had them for two weeks now. I tamed the boy in five days. Now I can scratch him in the neck and kiss him. But the girl is still not that tame. The only thing she does is step up on my finger. And i dont think that two monts is a long period.
@petrit1995 No it really isn't. I know from my experience,and I've read about that from many sites too. Including a forum on which I'm a moderator. I know much about cockatiels and believe me it doesn't matter which sex is it. And another thing,budgies are not cockatiels. In budgie case,it is true that females are more agressive than males and that way harder to tame. But not with cockatiels too. And,you know,every bird is different and some birds never can be tamed,and some tame in 1 day.
@TheLittlePillow Ok, maybe you're right. Maybe i mixed cockatiels and budgies. But it's still kinda wierd that every girls cockatiel I've had were harder to tame. Maybe I've been unlucky...
@petrit1995 Well how many cockatiels have you had?! It's kinda silly to talk in the name of all female cockatiels on the basis of one or two or idk how many girlz have you had. Ok,I don't wanna argue,I really don't,I was just sayin' some things to you....I have really lot of experience with tiels and on the basis on my experience it just does not matter which sex ur cockatiel is.
@TheLittlePillow i've had more then five girl cockatiels. And as I said MAYBE i've mixed cockatiels and budgies. I dont want to argue ether. I am just telling what I've heard, experienced and read.
@petrit1995 cockatiels are no cuddle toys. they have their own personality and some just dont want to be touched. you should respect that. instead you turn a healthy normal bird into a handicapped one (even when its just temporary..)
@Jul3sRul3sxD No bird wants to be touched when its not tame. I clipped her wings to tame her. Not to make her a cuddle toy. After her wings grew back she was tame and I could cuddle with her as much as I wanted without her flying away.
@FridatUtube I have 2 cockatiels and they're allowed to roam freely around my house since my house is small, I can keep an eye on them. In the beginning I was against clipping their wings because I like to see them fly around. Then as their wings grow longer, they can fly faster and higher. It makes them more aggressive. One time, something fell and scared my birds so much they flew around and slammed into the wall. Now I trim their wings so they can still fly but can't fly too fast
clipping the birds wings is EVIL!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i got a cockatiel and i got told to clip his wings because it'll make 'training' easier but i don't like the idea of cutting the wings when they were born with the ability to fly.
if its 8months old, thats a girl not a boy. it looks like a pearl and only the girls keep the pearl coloring. im surprised she didnt have a little walk round in the grass, maybe even a nibble, seemed to like the swing though.
i have 2 cockatail they leyed lots of eggs and they hatched the males name is coco and the females name is molly they kinda bite but they talk and whisle
