Sally Blanchard herself recomments wheat or whole grain toast crumbs in her famous "glop" recipe. She is "the" top bird expert. I think maybe you are mistaken. Grain bread especially is made up of exactkxy what birds eat. I really do appreciate the help though.
@PhilosopherGaming partly true. He is really concerned about those bad budgies taking the crumbs from his toast. But he adores them, follows them everywhere, and has never pecked at them or anything. He starts to make heartwings to me in this video ... which is a cockatiels sign of adoration. The laughing doesn't mean anything to him like some of his other words. He is mimicing me. Whats funny is if I chuckle when he does it, then he keeps repeating it and we go back and forth like 2 idiots.
@wolfysluv ah that explains the posture lol just so you know i wasnt criticising, he looks like a very healthy happy bird aside from the budgie annoyance :)
@PhilosopherGaming Awe, thanks. You didn't have to say that. I'm sorry if you felt like you had to explain. but thank you just the same, it was nice to know. The thing I love about youtube are the comments. I LOVE the fact that you can say anything you want. Even when its hurtful or stupid, you have to admit its breath of fresh air to not see so much PC and stepping on egg shells. I like that its unedited (unless the account holder wants to).
@PhilosopherGaming Oh yeah, I wanted to add, that cockatiels do a weir posteruing where they kinda bow low, stretch their heads out with their hats flat, and slightly open their wings so it looks like a heart when they like/love someone. You were right though, I mean he was obviouly confused on whether to do that or be totally annoyed at the budgies for swiping the food lol.
Ive had 2 female and one male cockatiel and they have all whistled tunes they have learned. like the phone, or something i whistled to them. I dont know what these guys are arguing about
@bunka7rox are you dumb? Show me a finch that talks. I thought all birds talked, according to you? My female cockatiel doesn't talk, and I hand raised her from 1 week after her hatch. I played tapes of Christmas music after she was 7 months old, with my male cockatiel who was 5 months old in the same cage, and the male whistles jingle bells, yet the female doesn't talk or sing. If you own birds, I am very sorry for the torture they have, and are going to endure.
@TheIPodTouchTechGuy yeah you're right male birds only, coz its a courting behaviour they do to the females. for parakeets and all those, the more complicated song they do, the more attractive they are to the females. the females don't need to talk so arent evolutionarly adapted to being able to speak
They're not really called 'parakeets' they're called budgerigars, they're native to Australia. Also budgerigars are particularly attracted to the colour yellow. I think if you apply an ultra violet light, a spot near their head becomes visible.
well, i know for sure at least it's very rare for female cockatiels to talk or even whistle songs, my mum's raised them since i was a small child, not to mention I've done a little research on them, not sure how it is with other parrots, although considering the reasons female cockatiels don't talk or whistle, i imagine it's similar
@XXXTiffanyTerrorXXX Girls can talk as well, it is just unlikely. Males tend to talk more because it is adaptation. The males whistles and sounds they can make will make them more attractive to females.
@XXXTiffanyTerrorXXX My female can whistle and she can say hello, It take alot longer to train girls to say one word, where males can pick stuff up all the time! If you like the peace and quiet a female is great, but if you want a chatty one a male is perfect for you :)
@wolfysluv I love birds, but please do not feed them with bread, they become constipated and then they die. Feed them only seeds and vegies, they should outlive for 20 years.
@wolfysluv I really miss that. Mine died recently sadly, and he was exactly the same! I hate eating in peace now. It's just not the same! :( Glad you're enjoying yours!
@dogus194 Toasted bread is fine for them. If its whole wheat or grain its good for them .. a great treat. I don't put margerine on the parts they eat normally, no.
@GreenDayRHCP If he is a "normal grey" you can tell indesputably he is a male. If he has a yellow face just like sunny, he is a boy. Othewise, you need DNA testing by the breeder, etc. They say some parrots won't talk until nearly a year old. But Sunny was trying by six months I think? Catn' remember. Once he did ... get that one word, it never stopped. So if your boy/girl is trying to say something, never shut up ... keep saying it lol. Then pick two other words at a time and keep going.
hahaha i love this video when Tika is spider bird :) i just noticed is that a ferret calender at the end of the video???and if it is... were did u get it??? :p
Is he not awesome!! He is a budgie! That's it. He's some sort of green dilute. He looks absolutely neon. with a few colbolt blue feathers in his tail. His wing markings are a cinnamon color. Awesome as heck.
Just what I said about the green one. The whites with blue patches are getting more common. I'm thinking thatsa type of pied or piebald. I dont know if they are as healthy as your common dark green and blue ones or not.
cute...my tiels do somethin simialr. i love tiels funny personaitys! i have a tiel that actually climbs like that bird..lol. never seen a tiel do that before.lol
