  • "What happened, Sunny?"

    "...La cucharacha happened."

  • I am a friend of Janifer and I've been watching Sunny's. Love that tiel! I'm trying to get my boys to talk by watching the videos for them. Would love to talk to you sometime :)

  • @Paratiel Hiya! I can't figure out how to PM you here. Youtube changed things and I cant find the message button on your channel lol. I saw you have lizards! I LOVE lizards too.

  • Oh he will live and die with us like any of our pets. If i did want to rehome any of my pets, itd he free to the most scrutinized home and good hearted person. A good cockatiel can be bought from a private breeder (which is best) for 60-80 dollars easily. A store who sells less quality birds sells them at 130. Stupid. A sancuary/shelte can adopt out all kinds of teils, sexes, ages, tame or talking. Thats really the best way to go.

  • Love it and If u could ever sell it, how much would you sell it for? Just a bit of curiousity

  • Wolfysluv me cockatiel start picked some from sonny thx

  • Yes i hear d

  • anybody hear suny say meow

  • @ReemROXXX it takes 5-6months to teach a bird to teach to talk and to train or longer!! :)

  • omg how did you teach it to talk?????????? its amazinggggggggg

  • I used to have 3 tiels!!! Till my dad caused their death.

    Did you chop off Sunny's wings so he wouldn't fly?

  • awww I couldn't stop smiling at the "batbird" part! How did you teach him that?! :D

  • Oh my gosh, he is so smart and beautiful!

  • @ReemROXXX im lucky i have a female and she is amazing Bell is her name she likes to sit with me at my desk and listen to sunny on youtube of all things she has picked up some stuff from sonny

  • and also, Sunny:" Bad Kitty" LOL!!!

  • Sunny: "hi" lol!!!!

  • your bird is adorable!!! love the videos :)

  • I wish my bird will pay attention to me while im trying to teach him :3......He used to say "hello" but it was like a chirp... ! my bird never pays attention when i try to teach it how to talk ! i even checked if it was a boy... (i know weird..) ! he will never pay attention >.< ! uggh ! YOUR BIRD IS SOO SMAART ! in fact ! He looks like mines ! haha !

  • @ReemROXXX I bet your cockatiel is a female! Most of them wont talk. But they sometimes will copy whistles and weird sounds. Try recording a wolf whistle or something. And try to teach that, see if it works. Sunny by the way, has stopped "learning". I have NO idea why. I know he is capable of more. Way more. It's really frustrating. I'm sorry your birdy doesnt talk. But Sunny is super exceptional. I just got lucky.

  • I love the bad kitty one hahahaha

  • You got him to ANSWER you! You said bad kitty and he said meow! that is amazing! :)

  • Awww so cute! I taught my bird the "batbird" game! he was the coolest bird ever! he sadly passed a week ago though..best bird i ever had :)

  • @megzie01223 I'm SO sorry.  I'm glad you have that happy memory.

  • @wolfysluv I am too! All my other birds would try to copy him heheh.. couldn't quite say "batbird" like him though! :)

  • OMG how adorable you and your little one are amazing you for teaching and him for learning ah... I really want a bird I am doing research, exactly what type of Cockatiel is he ? Hope to hear from you xooooo

  • to the bat cage...

  • My tiels Barney and Pepper love Sunny!

  • i love the bat bird part!!:)

    thanks for the uploads!

  • Bat bird XD

  • i have a cockatiel called tweety,any tips to maybe get them to talk?:)Xxx

  • LOL 4:08 he snorted! xD

    Super cute!!

  • Gosh, do I love Sunny!!! I lost my girl cockatiel Lucy Lu, two weeks ago. She was the sweetest girl ever! Now Im getting ready to get my baby boy in three weeks! I havent decided on a name yet. Im buying his toys and perches. Im planning on teaching him to talk just like Sunny. Youve done a great job with him. Keep up the good work!

  • @Struckbygold Did you get your baby yet??

  • @wolfysluv No, not yet. Im going away on a trip for a week and then around the 12th, I'll be bringing him home.

    Cage is ready, we just need him!!! I cant wait!!!

  • @wolfysluv No, not yet. Two more weeks and he'll be here. Waiting for him to be fully weaned. I cannot wait! I'll let u know as soon as he comes home!

  • @wolfysluv I met my baby today. He's four weeks old and just plain gorgeous. He's just like Sunny but with a lighter shade of grey, but not quite cinnamon. He's going to be with his breeder until Monday and then he'll be all mine! His name is Coda!

  • @wolfysluv i cant see you

  • @wolfysluv i was wondering how did you get yours to talk im trying to get mine to talk he looks just like yours

  • @chettah15hottie click "more" in the description under the vid. I tell you how there.

  • Hello there, I've got a question.

    How did you train Sunny the 'batbird' move? :) I think that is really awesome! Hope you could give me a tip to train it to my bird without a clicker.

  • what a cutie :D 

  • Hi, i have a 1 1/2 year old male cockatiel as well his name is Zeus. Zeus started learning when he was before a year old as well. he mastered alot of the small stuff really fast and so my family told me to try and get him to try and learn complex things like a song. i chose this song for him to learn the melody and it was crazy how fast he picked up whistling the melody. your Sunny seems very amazing and maybe you might want to challenge him with a song Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros - Home

  • this surprise i was laughing loud :D:D:D:D:D:DD:D::D

  • @ 0:40 TOUCHDOWN!!! :D::D:D:D

  • @ZacArDi91 We almost taught him, 'MOVE THE CHAINS'.  Lol. I still think about it sometimes. Right now we're working on "Youre so cute!" and "I'm cute". No luck so far.

  • awww he's lovely :)

  • how long does this take

  • OMG! he is so cute! do you have any tips to teach the birds how to talk? i have a bird that looks just like him. his name is tink. do you have any tips so i can get him to do iton command too?

  • @gennietc15 Yup I do!!! Click "more" under the description below the video.

  • i love sunny's voice:) 

  • omg he's amazing!!!i want one!!!

  • I've been a fan of Sunny ever since I adopted my first cockatiel Joey. I now have 4 silly feathered friend's!

  • We love sunny!!!

  • Lol I <3 Sunny! :D

    I love his phrases and especially BATBIRD!

    What was he singing at the end it sounded like.. "Who's a prety bird right now.." couldn't understand the rest though.. lol

  • @CKALLY "all the pretty ferrets sing, la la la". He got that because I sing to my ferrets when I clean the liter pan downstairs.

  • @wolfysluv Oh, lol I was waaay off. Sunny's so beautiful. I've had two cockatiel's, both from the same person and they'd die a few months after I 'd get them I loved them and they were very sweet, but I should've known not to purchase them because the birds were all bunched up in a cage and they were missing feathers in particular places. I was a beginner, but now I'm reading up on how to purchase a bird and to make sure they're healthy before I buy them, I never want that to happen again.

  • @CKALLY Awe, I'm so SORRY. Heck, even I did something like that once knowing better (with the parrotlett Pip). I got lucky. Good luck ... come back when you do get one and let me know how it goes. I swear, they are nearly the "perfect" bird. And I've been around a few.

  • @wolfysluv Ok, I will. I currently have a pair of lovebirds and they're fine just not tame and I want the kind of relationship that you can get from a cockatiel you know. :)

  • @CKALLY oh I ABSOLTELY know what you mean. I have a budgie and parrotlet barely tame at all. Then I have my too who is sweet. But ... I dont know, something like Sunny who always preferts to be with you 100% of the time and interact with you is just different. Nothing like it. Tiels are known as velcro birds (so are toos actually). And they are calm. get a baby get a baby ... did I say that enough? Lol Get a hand raised baby.

  • @wolfysluv Lol, ok I WILL get a handraised baby. ;)

  • @CKALLY Promise? I bet we are boring the shit out of viewers with our comments. Ooo, did I say shit outloud? Yah, I did, I did say shit. Anyway, make sure it was handraised. Not just hand fed. Big difference. You should be able to tell if it comes up to right away and wants to be picked up. Go to a breeder! Its HALF the price and way healthier.  (check online at local bird clubs, breeders, etc. Google is your friend).

  • @wolfysluv Lol I promise! :) We probably are.. lmao yeah you did say shit. *gasps* But they should be focused on the vid not the comments right? Hmm.. I just found one.. Oasis Aviary they actually deliver and ship.. and they're selling hand-tame and hand-fed baby cockatiels for $85.00

  • Awww... how gorgeous! I have a female cockatiel named Sunny. I'm starting to teach her to say a simple "Hi" when walk in the room.

  • Cocktails are so affectionate lovely animals

  • so I take it the little homie's a football fan? Funny how he says "touchdown!"

  • Sunny is amazing! My Pineapple is SO intrigued! = )

  • oh i love your bird!!!! you are one luckey person!

  • "Bad kitty! Meow!" that was hilarious. Our cockatiel talks but he doesn't respond like that much... he just says his phrases and that's it. About the only real responses he gives are when you bring him his water he'll say "Here's your water!" and sometimes respond to Good morning and Nite nite. Oh and mimicking the creaking cabinet door. xD

  • He did call me mommy .... He would sit on his cage and say in the mornings..Mommy go to work? And at night he would say time for night night?

    And sooo many other things .....He was so precious !!! It was like losing a child. I am working with the new one now and hoping I can get him to talk like the first one but he is just too young yet ..But I keep working with him everyday !!! LOL

  • aww such a cutie....he looks like the cockatiel I had...he was very talkative..called me mommy..he got scared and got out the door I never found him.....i still cry about it its been over 1 month...hoping to get my new one to talk like he did but this one is only 5 months old..

  • @cmllvr Sunny's breeder said that many don't really talk until nearly a year old. So ya, your baby is young. I cant' remember exactly when Sunny first spoke. It was before a year though. Your baby called you Mommy? omg. I'm so devastated for you. I cant' imagine what that's like. I hope I NEVER know. Keep in touch if you want. I am SO glad you have a new little love.

  • I've heard a lot of cockatiels talk, and this is the best I've seen! What a great bird!

  • LOL Batbird. I wanna teach mine that one, but I think he's old. I don't know how to tell and he was given to me.

  • @OkMistahJ I don't know a thing about whether old birds are apt to talk less or more. But I bet you could teach him the trick!! If your bird does that wing thing sometimes ... like clockwork, say "bat bird"! Every single time. Then later one when you think he's sort of registering it, but he's not doing it, you can sort of drop your hand a smidge real quick so he has to put his wings up .. then you say batbird again.

  • It's more that he doesn't like us very much. He was used to his previous owner, but I don't know how old it is because he only got it a little while ago but it doesn't seem young. I think that's party why it's so antisocial. Also, the guy had pet snakes and big dogs that already killed his parrot (the tiel was a replacement for it) and his sugar-glider. I think it's kinda traumatized and I try to be nice and it just hisses and snaps like a snake. He'll do the wolf whistle, but that's about all.

  • @OkMistahJ Oh my that poor thing. You are awesome for taking him in. Sheesh. I hope you enjoy his new found security and happiness. And how pretty he is. i'm sure time will settle him down. Birds can take a really long time though. Its hard for me because I'm not a patient person lol. I wish I could help, but I dont nkow anything about taming really.

  • You have the most awesome Cockatiel! I am looking to adopt one myself.

    :)

  • how do you teach him to speak please tell me :)

  • Read the right side of this page under the vid description. click "more" to see it. Now .... YOU owe me lmao. You need to tell me how you are teaching your boy how to wave!

  • @bilaremix ask me! ask me!

    first you need to find out i there is a kind of frase it likes.

  • Awesome bird! Sunny is a real talent and so clever. Cute as hell too.

  • You guys have to go see the video response under Sunny's movie. it's awesome!

  • lol this is hilarious

  • hey why dont you teach sunny to say goodnight , goodmorning , cya later or goodbye even teach him to say hqappy bday

    i love ur bird sunny

  • How did Sunny learn to speak so clearly and articulate the words so well? I've seen many other birds who muffle or whistle their words. How long did you work with Sunny? My bird muffle his words.

  • I attribute it to several things. 1) I got him as a weaned baby that was hand raised, not just hand fed 2) i was just lucky .. he was born with an ability. and 3) a friend told me that when talking to a bird to never use a high voice, especially if you are female. Keep it low so they dont learn to be squeeky and whistley.

  • P.S. Boogie not Boogy!! I watch Sunny all the time. He is soo cute! I like the way he talks, and right to the camera. I'll see what u teach him next....BYE U 2. Boop.

  • Omg, Boogie diiiiiiiiiiiied.. I'm cryyyyyying.  Oh no. His video brings me so much joy! Thanks for reminding me about him, it's been so long since I saw that video.

    Any suggestions of what to teach Sunny? HELP. He hasn't learned anything in months all because of ME. I cant' think of funny hilarious things for him to saaaaaay ...

  • Comment removed

  • You have an amazing bird!! I can see you have a special between you and him! So adorable, makes me think of my cockatiel "Petey'. He died a couple years ago but he and I and such a bond that no one else could explain. I miss him so much too, but seeing such a video like this makes me happy to see others experience such a bond that I had. Enjoy every moment you have(as I can see that you are)!!

  • he's so cute. I love how he emphasizes the word pretty when he sings who's a pretty parrot. Who's his favorite football team that he yells "touchdown" for...the Eagles?

  • YUP

  • Hi wolfysluv, I love Sunny. You are one of not too many humans that belong on the video. Many annoy, not you. I like your surprise ending! Thought U might enjoy...."Boogy the quaker parrot complains about life" Unfortunately Boogy is gone, but his wonderful video remains. I was bummed to learn of that. Hope you enjoy it, it's a must see video. Listen carefully...he sounds like daffy duck. -PJ

  • Love the Sunny birdie say......boop boop boop. Bye bat bird/bad kitty/touchdown bird (Sunny)

  • haha! what a marvolous bird!! this made my day

  • Haha! Bat Bird! What a charming little bird!

  • i used to have a pet cockatiel, we called him/her chance since we didnt know its gender

    apperently we had to give chance to my cousin becuase it was the only thing i wa allergic to

  • ima get a cockateil like urs, name him darth vader. have any tips on raising cokateils? if you do please pm me! thanks!

  • Just make sure you get a cockatiel book, and read up about them. They require you to take them out about 2 hours a day, and you to be able to clip toes, or wings, on a regular basis. Make sure you have someone who knows about cockatiels, like a vet or a friend, to help you out! good luck!

  • wow im so amazed, i have a cockatiel and im trying to work with him and get him to talk, i have a few questions i want to ask u about cockatiels, i dont know if u will know the answer but just want to ask, and is sunny a female or male??

  • go ahead and ask. I'll try to answer. Sunny is a boy. Normal Greys with totally yellow faces like that, are male. :)

  • i put my cockatial in front of the screan and sings with sunny

  • for real?  How cool.

  • i have a cockatiel and she just warming up to me im trying to teach her how to talk can you give me some advice

  • Click "more" on the right and there are very detailed instructions and tips! Good luck.

  • i just got a cockateil

    hes yellowish grayish with orange ears

    and i got a gray cockateil for 10 bucks cheaper

  • he is sooo cute! i love him

  • that is so cute. i have 3 one can say a few things, thanks for the tips on how to teach them.

  • have you clipped its wings?

  • Yes, cause Sunny goes everywhere with us.

  • i have a cockatiel it just died in november 2006 its boy not girl in my video it died on a boat when i give it to my friend then she let it died! i miss you coco

  • How devastating. I cant' even imagine.

  • Sunny is so cute :)

    I love when he sings. and when he says touchdown!

    I had a white and yellow cockatiel, but he died just as he were getting tame.

    He didnt have feathers(or whatever it is) on his head, but the shop owner said that

    it would grow it again, it was just the other cockatiels that have picked him in the head.

    They never grew out, so we took him to the animal doctor, and they also said that he were fine.

    But after he was dead they said that it was because of the missing feathers

  • Do teil learn their own name know what it is??

  • yup

  • 3 bird cages actually

  • omg look behind sunny there r 2 cages...lol

  • I really love your videos. You said your husband would have a serious breakdown if Sunny ever got out and flew away. I know that pain. My cockatiel Sammy was a lot like Sunny and he flew away March 7th. I have cried everyday for a month now. We did everything together and its one of the hardest losses I've ever had! A lot of people dont understand the bond you form with them. They are like little children and they offer unconditional love. Thank you for showing how special cockatiels can be.

  • They are just so underated, ya know? People talk about the perfect bird ... well tiels are about as close as you can get if you ask me.

    I got sick to my stomack thinking about Sammy. I am so sorry. That is just awful, awful, awful. Thank you foryour lovely comments.

  • hes a moody blues fan???????

    love it!!!

  • what is better cockatiel or lovebird

  • i got my polly from petco. he looked so sad and lonely that i couldnt leave him there. he wasnt loved at all there and was cage bound and mostly mute. it has taken almost a year of me talking to him and giving him tons and tons of love to some what trust me. i want to get him a cage mate tho do u think that i should wait till he trust me more or do you think a bird friend will help? please if you can comment back i cant find anything that goes over this :/ thanks!!

  • Awe! You know it's to the point that I won't go look at animals at a pet store other than fish for that very reason lol.

    I would not get a bird if you are wanting him to be a close buddy. If you have lots of time to give him, can give him lots of out of cage time, and you want him even tamer I would not do it. If you don't give him a lot of time, if he is in a cage and with no other birds in the house all day every day of his life ... sure. It would be a natural and happy thing for him.

  • I don't know anything about introducing and matching up cagemates, so do your studying so you don't buy another bird only to result in a failed relationship though. :)

    But be prepared for the fact that he may bond with his buddy more than you. That scenario is bitter sweet. They are so happy, but you don't have the intimate friendship.

  • lol look at (my bird spike so funny :p)

  • He's adorable!!! Now I want one!!

  • wow his wings really are clipped quite severely huh,.. i dont have my tiels wings clipped,.... they like the freedom of flight

  • Yah, I know. And you are right. My too is almost flighted. My budgies can fly 25 feet. But Sunny can just float to the ground. Did that for a couple of reasons. Sunny travels with us everywhere, every day. So in order to do that, thats what we did to be safe. The other reason is because his owner, my hubby, is an emotional mess about his animals lol. He would have a serious breakdown if Sunny ever got out adn flew away. Luckily, Sunny is unqiquely happy with us though as you can see.

  • Sunny is my bird's name also! So cute!

  • My cockatiel taught my other cockatiel to sing the Andy Griffith theme. o.O

  • that is amazing!!

  • Get a big wide cage (as big as you can), they move horizontally.

    Pick the bird that you connect with, looks healthy, is friendly. Let them pick you lol.

    Spend as much time as you can with them. Work on the BOND right away.

    These guys don't get neurotic if you cant' spend every waking second with them. But if you can? Thats okay too. They are velcro birds and are ecstatic just to be with you.

    Most web info about tiels is very good.

    Look up Tailfeathers(dot)com. Great little place.

  • Hi i am thinking about getting a cockatiel. But i need advice, tips, help. I have done hours and hours of research. I have found a store that sells birds that have were born and handfeed there. With nice cheep cages. it would be nice if you could comment on Cockatiel HELP.

  • Stupid thing marked your comment as spam. I hope I fixed it. Go figure.

    Anyway, yes, lots of tips. We got Sunny at 17 weeks of age. I'd not go younger than that. He was still whining at that age and bobbing his head. Just do your research on how they should be handfed, and ask the people how they did it and how long okay? It really makes a diff on the health of the bird and everything.

  • That is so, so sweet!!! I got my own cockatiel about a month ago. How do u teach him? You've done such a good job.

  • Click "more" in the window to the right. There are full instructions on how to do it!

    :D

    If you have a male, plus you just got him ... there is good chance he'll talk for you. If he is a youngster on top of it all ... he'll talk (if you work at it).

  • how do you clip his claws?

  • that was a nerve wracking thing ... we used baby clippers (human). Finally, we got a good wide perch with colored sand all on it for birds (really find sand). And put it where he uses it constantly. We've not had to trim claws now in two years!!!!

  • lol! omg ur bird is awesome!!! i luv wen sunny says batbird

  • A darling bird, he is.

  • I'm pretty sure Sunny is a male. A female wouldn't say all those words.

  • My cockatiel isn't too interested in even trying to talk, though i'm trying to teach him without boring him.

  • Maybe its not really a "him"? I mean how "sure" are you? the girls often wont talk. Either way, go to the main movie, the Sunny the talking Cockatiel or whatever, and read the side. I go into detail of how to teach them how to talk.

    Another idea ... just teach him to whistle something simple to start with. A charge call (no speaking). Or a sound (a kiss). Go from there. Non speaking birds often mimic "sounds"

  • Well, I think it's "him", because he likes to whistle, and he's a normal colored (gray) one with a yellow head and the normal red cheeks, ok thanks for the information, your bird is so amazing that I'm starting to be a bit of jealous! ;D

    Mimicing sounds? That might be a nice thing to begin with, like the kiss sound. It may even be enough for me, because he already knows some little melodies, thanks for your help!

  • so cool you kan actualy understand what hes sayin:P

    that meow sounds funny:P

  • i wish i had that bird i have a cocktail but it dont talk and lol

    touchdown

    i luv it

  • OMG THAT BATBIRD IS SOOO FUNNY

  • how did you manage teaching him the "batbird" thing? Please let me know.  I have a cockatiel too.

  • That was he easiest thing of all. Easier then teaching him to talk. You know how cockatiels get excited and flap their wings? Or they'll throw up their wings like sunny randomly? Anytime your bird puts his wings up, flaps, or heck even stretches big ... say something like "Airplane", "Superman" or batbird. EVERY single time he does it.  Over time, a lot of time, next thing you know, you'll be able to say the word and he'll do it! Who knows maybe even say it too.

  • mew mew mew! ( ha ha ha!)

  • sunny was the name of all my 4 birds. my first could sing the cuckaracha

  • lol the cuckaracha

  • it is so cute and i wish my budgie did but i dont have the same bird as u so can u give that bird to me

  • You know, I tried doing what I did with Sunny on TWO budgies before him. And I had no luck. They don't say a single word. They are supposed to be rather prolific. I dont get it. I have a cockatoo and she is speaking a "little". Sunny is rather unusual. The only thing we did diff with him that might possibly be the reason for such a success is that he was/is out of his cage and with us all day every day. Very bonded. Lots of time involved.

  • Hess soo cute and sunny what a cute name!!!! hess very talented

  • I love him! He has the cutest voice.  What a talented cockatiel!

  • I LOVE YOU SUNNY!!!!!!!!!!SUCH A PRETTY BIRD!!!!!!!!!! Do you clip both their wings? Cuz I did that...but mine flew away...I mean he literally flew out of the house ad landed on the neighbour's roof. TWICE. and we got him back. So now we only clip one and leave the other.

  • Ooooh, a new vid. Thank You, I really enjoy watching your adorable, intelligent bird - he rocks!! Luv U Sunny

  • oh ya wolf i am trying to get my video up its just hard and i wil tell u MAYBE this week but i have to have my sister help me shes great at computers and she can do it sorry about the wait!!<3

  • Batbird!

    XP That was positively adorable. I applaud your dedication to teaching!

  • haha i saw this one this is the new one u have soo many birda!!! this is the cutest thign in the world people and the smartest...i wish i could meet this cockatiel....awesome!! totally take him on pet star

  • OMG, Sunny is the cutest cockatiel EVER! I love him and his little red cheeks and his cute smile! Please put him in an envelope and send him to me immediately!

  • What a darling!!! That's a pretty bird! HAHA!

  • aww..my tiel lilbird looks the same and my other one says what u doin too! infact i think hes startin to say give me kiss and a few other words. my oldest tought him come er..and they sing pretty songs too! and now my 10yr old female keet is sayin it too.lol that ferret song is adorable. can i ask how u got him to not be afraid of camra? cuz mine are terrified of my web cam.good tips by the way..i ll have to try that. how many birds do you have? thought i saw a amazon..and hurd a cockatoo.

  • GOOD question. It took me a YEAR for him to do this. What I did was distract him with other birds. I put Tika on my shoulder. She's not scared of it, so then he's not.

  • ohh ok..wow. im gonna have to fig out how to do that with mine.lol

  • so adorable, wish i had space at home to have multiple birds

  • Sunny's quite a talker. But, can he type?

  • Loved it!

  • A touchdown performance Sonny :-)

  • I love you Sunny... Marry me?
