@sdearnest1981 im serious! he shouts it weneva im on COD and as soon as i kill somone, if he hears th scream, he shouts it. most of the time hes on my shoulda wen he does it, so im almost deaf now! :P
@1Uhlala you should limit their time with mirrors. they will become taachad to the mirror, and will hate you, because they wont likte you anymore. thats what I do to mine.
@warofthewalruses I understand that, and I know people who had that problem before.
my bird is adopted, his past owners taught him to love mirrors... He's been with me for about 2 years and he's attached to his mirror but not as attached as he is to me, he only dances in front of the mirror if I'm dancing with him and kisses his reflection when I'm making "kissing sounds" : P I have a video of him that you can watch if you want.
This cockatiel is a pearl, which makes it most likely female. In pearl cockatiels, the male loses his juvenile pearling after he molts into his adult plumage and looks more like a gray (around 4-6 months old), and the females retain the pearling on the back and shoulders on into adulthood. Don't let the talking fool you into thinking it's a male because females can be very vocal too. =D Either way its an awesome 'tiel!
he says watch ya doin, hello cocoa (his name), he waves, does smoke alarm (which is not good at 6 in the morn so he is outside), says peek a boo, wolf whistle, and when we go wheres Axel (our dog) he will look for him
Me too i have a cockatiel (they could be twins) and his name is ricky and if i try to even get near him he will hiss and bite :X I dunno why i give him a lot of respect <3
that is sooo weird because my budgie sounds EXACTLY like that. he imitates human speech that way, and does the wolf whistle and such. very weird! but adorable! x
My mom always came in and ask him what he was doing so he just kinda picked it up over time, unfortunately we no longer own this bird we had to give him away due to some time issues ii guess
haha My cockatiel does that to me every morning. My dad will put him on my pillow while I'm sleeping and my bird will say, "what ya doin" to wake me up it's SO CUTE. ^_^ I love birds. My favorite pet. =)
Our cockatiel fell victim to the toxicity of tea tree old (melaleuca oil) on 29 Dec. It was applied to the bird as an antiseptic to an injury to it wing. Within 10 minutes of application, the bird was struggling to walk and straight after that it became unconscious, as it remained for about 5 hours till it passed away. Tea tree old was used on the bird in the past. anyone using tea tree oil on their animals, use high caution. promoted to me that its animal safe. Our bird will surely be missed
But bugies are worth 10-15$ and coctaeil is worth 75$ their must be a reason why their worth tha much... so i think its a good trade 6 budgies (including english budgie) for cocktaeil
if u get a rare cockatiel eg. White Faced(albino face no pink/red or yellow) they are worth around $1000 if u sell it to a breeder if not a breeder $100
my tiel says the same thing! just with a bit of a different accent :D he also does the kissy noises haha......he approves of this video, calling out for a mate......little gayboy
PLEASE DON'T READ THIS you will die in seven days if you don't post this comment on 10 videos in the next hour. if you do, tomorrow will be the best day of your life
i used to have a cockateil! his name was Baby Bird. he called the dog, whistled "tequila", "yankee doodle", the "wolf" whistle and said, very cleary, "whatcha doin'?" he died aat the age of eighteen. i miss Baby!
i don't have one yet either, but i read that you just whistle a song to it continueously, and then it will be its favorite song. talk to the bird, not at it
i had one... he passed last week... first of all, make sure its a male... males talk better than females... then repeat the song or phrase to him until he learns... when he starts trying to say it, reward him... they love sunflower seeds...
Ha ha... mine says "whatcha doin' beeeeboooo cheeeebooooo" (his name is Beebo, but I call him Beebo Cheebo) He also says "cinamonamonamonnnn" His dad's name is Cinnamon. It's so cute.
im getting frustrated i cant get my bird to do anything ive read all the websites that teach u how to do it but i cant get my bird to tlak or sing can anyone help?? if you can tell me on my page that would be awsome!
We moved his cage into the living room where we all spend alot of time.. once on the top of his cage - he chirps like crazy - and in two days he's started singng the Andy Griffith song .. they like being where everyone is - in natural light, where they can bring in the morning with singing. Now he never stops... so very cool... and he's less than 3 months old..
i just got my bird yesterday, it makes question chirps, it chirps like its asking a question the tilts its head, i doent want to come outa the cage :(, any tips on how?, its 2 months old, cool vid btw
Be very very patient. No sudden moves or loud noises. TALK to him/her a lot. If your bird is not paired, he/she is going to bond to you or someone in your your house eventually. Train on the "UP" command with your finger once s/he gets comfortable. Get "Cockatiels for Dummies" and read up. Graet book.
