my birds do that too, but I guess it just means heâs happy. Does he sing while the lights are off?

Well papa bird actually composed his own song and then his eldest so copied it, then the other son copied it, but then the other son learned âif youâre happy and you know itâ. Its so cute because when youâre supposed to clap, he does kissing sounds. He also does like cat noises, which I donât know where he got but it sounds so cute! And I love when he bobs his head and dances. Then the other younger son copied him with âif youâre happy and you know itâ and the now youngest son is learning how to sing too! I know this confusing lol, but I have a lot of birds!Funnily enough yes buddy does, he whistles the Kill Bill whistle song! Do youâd birds have a particular whistle?
Lmao I have 9! 2 parents and the rest (7) are the kids. We wouldâve had more but theyâve had a lot of failed clutches âš.How many birds DO you have Natalie?
I mean the first cockatiel that I ever got was really old and he would always just be fluffed up and sleepy (he wasnât depressed, just old). His name was ChikiĂąo. His owners had to move to another country and they sadly couldnât take him. They were actually going to put him to sleep but they actually gave him to us. He wasnât really nice to us, but I loved him to death. I really wanted to get him a female so they can have babies, so my aunt gifted me two 3 month old cockatiels and he didnât really mind them. One of them (Mango) actually liked him so she would show mating behavior to him but he would ignore her. Eventually he accidentally flew away. Then there were only the two babies left, but one of the babies ( his name was Peach) also flew away. Mango was devastated and she wouldnât eat and I was TERRIFIED that she would die, so we looked all over for a pet store that had a male cockatiel until we found one really far away from my home. We bought him and the instant Mango saw him, she fell in love! Then, the rest is history. They now have 7 babies!Thatâs so cute!! Iâve had buddy since a baby and I would be guessing his around 15 now although just recently Iâve been wondering if he needs a friend? Somebody told me that I shouldnât get him one cause his use to being by himself and that they are very territorial- I donât know I just thought he maybe lonely what would your advice be?
But then at the end, all birds are different, maybe yours isnât a grumpy old man!I mean the first cockatiel that I ever got was really old and he would always just be fluffed up and sleepy (he wasnât depressed, just old).
