I have a Female called Tweety :D She's able to talk, Whistle but no tricks...

I just wish she wasn't afraid of my hands because thats the only we knew how to get her into the cage... By putting our hand ontop of her and putting her in, But guys just feed your bird some millet and slowly go towards the cage... :) Good luck

@ibyOFshieldz have you tried to perch train her? that might work better than covering her to get her back in.. birds who hate hands are tricky little beasties.. the more you present your hand in a scary manner (like the covering) the worse it gets. Zu is afraid of hands but ive gotten to the point where i can move her around as long as i dont move my fingers or i get bit. just find the trigger and remove it. if its the whole hand, try to perch train. show its not something to fear by being calm

how many days does it take to get trust from your cockatiel?

[nightengaleprincess]

@AnujDeuskar it depends on the bird and how you react to it. never grab at a bird that doesnt want to be held it just makes them scared of you. i have 3 cockatiels and each took its own time, Nym (this one) warmed up to me in about 4 wks Sere took about 6mths and Zu took well over a year. in saying that, each of these birds were rescued from people who treated them badly so it took them a long time to learn that i wasnt like their old owners. sit, talk to them eat near them they will come around

@JenJW it was easier to decorate that way :P

@vibria7000 oh and removing your comment doesnt mean that i didnt see it. just because you have had cockatiels for 22 years doesnt mean you know a damn thing about them. you can own a car for that long and still have no idea how to change the oil!!!

full metal alchemist?

Of course she's a female, she's a pearl. Whatever idiot thinks she's a girl obviously don't know about basic cockatiel genetics.

I hear some fullmetal alchemist in the back ground :D! love your bird she seems very sweet

[GiantPetRat]

We had a pearl as well- she looked a great deal like your Nym. :) She had a period, after her cagemate died, of singing like a male, wildly and really shrill.
