my cockatiel likes to pretend he is a bat lol his name is Ruffles

[mikepepler]

@rufflesthebird24 Ours do a 'bat' thing too! I've yet to catch it on video though, as they don't do it so often... I think it's them claiming possession of the cage when they do it?

Lol! my bird does that too. except when he's upside down xD

[mikepepler]

@Allgamesarefun Sorry to hear that, he looks very cute in the videos. Will you get another cockatiel? They normally live a lot longer, say 20 years, though a friend of ours has one that's over 30.

@mikepepler yes! all of them looove to do things like this. Mine is 27 yo. It is old yes, but it does flip by doing the bat thing, it opens their wings fully extended. Shame he lost his crown. but he is my old brother. I love him. :D

@gaurdianAQ Thanks - I knew about the normal colouring, but not the white-face, as although we have a male we don't have a female white-face. Cheers!

@mikepepler

Actually generally with white faced cockatiels, the mails will have the white face while the females will have an all grey face.

same with the standard yellow ones, males will have yellow with the red patch while the females will have the red patch but little to no yellow
