    We got our first cockatiel last Monday, by Friday we had her with an avian specialist vet as she didn’t seem well and we have been given meds to give her twice a day by syringe (the vet also said she is under weight . Of course she doesn’t like this and I’m spending a lot of time coaxing her...

    I posted on a different forum but didn't really get much help so I thought I would try here. I got a cockatiel almost 2 months ago now and it is no closer to being tame or bonding than it was when I got it. It hisses and bites, and man does it bite hard sometimes, and then just tries to get...

    never mind, I found a post that helps. I don’t think there’s a way to delete my entire post so I just decided to edit it.

    Hey! I'm totally new to these forums, but I've just a couple hours ago gotten a new cockatiel. While viewing them at the breeders, their feathers wear flat, they weren't bobbing when they breathed, and they were fairly active. Now that they're at home they're puffed up and bobbing when...

    Hi everyone, I'm looking into adopting a cockatiel in the next few months. I've had parakeets and finches in the past so this isn't my first bird... Though it is my first larger bird and I have a few questions for those who have experience with owning them. 1) About how loud are these birds? I...

    Hello! My dad surprised me with two 3 month old male cockatiels. I named them, Greyson and Beta. Greyson was my first cockatiel. I got Beta a few days later to keep Greyson company. So far, I’ve had them for about 2 weeks give or take. Beta is more playful and outgoing. Greyson is not. He...

    Hello, just a week ago I bought my first bird from a pet store. They told me he's between 3-4 months old. He's very feisty and always wants to bite me. I havent really been able to tame him because he wins every time. Ive always heard that its better to buy them from a breeder instead of a pet...

    Hello Everyone! I am new to this site and to Cockatiel ownership. We recently, about 1 week ago, purchased an adult Cockatiel that we found in the local paper. The previous owners didn't know his(?) age, as someone else gave him(?) to them. He was in a pretty small cage, and when I saw the...

    Hello, I am the proud owner of three beautiful cockatiels and one parakeet. I got Gary, my fav and first cockatiel, about three years ago for Christmas. My mom and I was planning on getting a simple parakeet instead but I fell head over heels in love with Gary! In the petshop he was a fluffed up...

    Hi, so. I'm a 40 year old man with a 13 week old cockatiel. I am going to openly admit that I am hesitant to try the step up training as I'm apprehensive of being bitten. There. I said it. Pip has been with us for 3.5 days. He is a pretty chill little guy, and was raised by a breeder in...

    Hello! So, we've had our 15 week old :grey tiel: for three days now. He didn't eat for the first 2 days. He is eating now. Quite a bit. He is on a seed/pellet mixture recommended by the breeder. I try to supplement with veggies, but he hasn't shown a ton of interest yet. He nibbled some...

    Hello! So Pip is our brand new 3 month old Cockatiel, and we are brand new bird owners. We brought him home yesterday, and we released him from his carrier box into his new cage and noticed that one of his long tailfeathers is askew. It looks like it got bent while in transport from the...

    Yesterday afternoon, we brought home "Pip" from a wonderful exotic store in Chicago. Pip is a hand raised, hand fed baby gray cockatiel (we know he was hand fed/raised as we handled him easily in the store on several occasions, including yesterday.) We took him home and introduced him to his...

    Hi, I just received my first Cockatiel last Thursday. I believe the lady said he is a Pearl Pied and more than likely a male. She said he is three months old. He is very tame and a good companion. He is trying to whistle but it sounds very faint. This site has been very helpful with me being new...

    Hello! Dr. Virus is my handle in various corners of the internet, but I want to mention that I am obviously not a real doctor of any kind, haha. Also going to go ahead and mention I'm not much on keeping up with forums so apologize ahead of time if I magically disappear after a time. But! I am...
