Hi, I have had my cockatiel for a year now after his previous owner moved to a non-pet friendly building. My cockatiel (Joey) is 4 years old and apperentaly has always been a very scared/loud bird. He has never let me touch him and hisses / bites whenever I try to train/tame him or put my hand...

Hello! My name is Samantha and I adopted my first cockatiel yesterday(Eddie); I did a lot of research before adopting him and I want to give him the best life possible. He was very quiet yesterday evening and all last night. But, today he has been screaming non stop even when I'm in the same...

Hello! My name is Samantha and I adopted my first cockatiel yesterday(Eddie); I did a lot of research before adopting him and I want to give him the best life possible. But, today he has been screaming non stop even when I'm in the same room as him. I'm not sure what to do because I don't want...

i don't know how long she has been doing this, but lately in the morning, or basically any time i wake up in the morning and go downstairs, she's very very noisy. screaming and screeching for no reason. is there any way to dis-encourage or limit this, as i am moving to an apartment soon and i...

hi, me and my cockatiel are going to be moving to a city with my boyfriend, who she knows but hasn't fully bonded with yet. As of late she is seeming to be very attached to me, more so than usual even though i'm pretty sure she think i'm her mate. i'm worried that when i am not around and she is...

:tiel6: I have a little male and he is about 3 years old now. He is a little sweetie except he has a nasty habbit of SCREAMING about everything. I mean this in an excited way. It is almost as if he has forgotten how to sing/chirp (Perfered) and just screams about everything. I wanted to know how...

Hi ! I rarely make posts on forums to solve my bird issues, because usually I can find pretty good info by doing lots and lots of research. But right now I'm a bit overwhelmed and I can't seem to find what I'm looking for. To summarize Mocha a bit, he's 3 years old, he's a male cockatiel, and...

Hello all, This is my first time posting and first time on a forum in quite a while. I have a concern about my 11 week old male cockatiel whom has just finished weaning. My concern is that I work 10 hours a day 4 days a week (8am-6pm) and during that time he is home alone. Now here are the...

Hello everyone! I'll start with a small update, Charlie has been eating some of his pellets in his bowl and not just his seeds :) I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this... Sorry if it isn't. I was wondering if anyone had any experience with their cockatiel hating the...

this can't just be normal noises, it's so loud and constant. They will go for hours at a time and in that time they only stop to eat. My neighbours are going to complain and I live in a complex so I'll have to get rid of them! Help! I haven't been giving them as much attention as I have a very...

Hello, I wasn't sure what board to post on.. I've had my tiel for about 1 1/2 years and I love her so much. She's always out of the cage when I am home and I give her good rubbings and sometimes take her outside in her flightsuit. However lately she has been SCREAMING nonstop!! Even when she...

Hi, We have four tiels: a female who minds her own business and is interested only in me, two males who share a bedroom in separate cages and get along well, and Dexter, a male we found some years ago who never really has come around. He is happy but not interested in human companionship and...

Our new 4 month old cockatiel has started screaming these past few days. Today it has been awful. We bought him 2 weeks ago and he was totally hand fed and hand raised by humans. He has never been without humans spoiling him at all hours of the day before and now that he's adjusted, he screams...

Last days my bird is screaming all the time and I have no idea why, we speak with him,he was food ,we keep the cage door opened so he can go outside when he wants, please if someone knows why they do like this let me know. We have him like almost a half a year and still he is not friendly to...

So twiggy, is about 8 months old now. Were still not sure if she is a "she" or not. But lets say she is. Im having a few behavioral problems with her, that have seemed to get worse over the last month. 1. Biting. constant rapid fire biting. One moment shes snuggled on my shoulder, enjoy being...

Hi, I have a year old cockatiel, lutino/yellow pied mutation :yellow pied: ! His name is Rokko, but everyone calls him birdie... lol. I was wondering if I could get some advice/tips on training. I had to leave the bird with the family due to sudden changes to living rules at the place I was...

she's /screeching/ non stop! (If you guys differ screaming from screeching I mean) I know that this is a begging sort of thing to do (the static noise) Even when I pick her up and pet her and try to cuddle she's not too interested and would rather screech like something's wrong. I took her to...

Please help! My cockatiel is constantly screaming. I have to put her in the bathroom because I'm afraid my landlord will complain. When she's in the dark or in the shower she's fine but as soon as I take her cage to another room she screams / screeches so loud! Even when I pick her up and try...

I have two cockatiels. Neither are particularly tame. Oatis won't be held, Dexter will get onto my hand and that's about it. Both male. Share a large cage indoors. Dexter is a passive, quiet bird. Oatis is a loud, slightly larger bird. Every now and again, Oatis screams, whistles, sings, shouts...

OK guys, ive bonded with my tiel and he whistles and talks. Now when ever i leave the room(which im in most of the time when im home) he starts to scream loud and then starts with this weird vocal sound. He doesn't stop until i come back. I tried refraining myself from whistling back or calling...
