It's so funny that this is actually a thing

I am getting a cockatiel for the first time and my parents think they should be in a pair like male and female is that necessary like won't it cause hormonal issues

Thank you

I’ve been a wildlife volunteer for over 5yrs so I’m good in the medical department when it comes to birds when it doubt I call my avian vet ;; I recently asked for behavioral help on a fb parrot group and got judged immediately;; didn’t ask to be judged just asked for help on my parrots sudden behavior as I’m having trouble finding a parrot trainer near me. I’ve had my parrot since last oct and Ive noticed most of the parrot community are toxic and occult like. No matter what you do with your parrot ITS WRONG. 🙄🙄

i have a cockatiel baby bird it lives in a colony with 2 other baby cockatiels and two parents it is plucking its feathers and taking out blood. i can surely say that we give him a proper diet and there is no fear or stress please help

We have a male and we believe we have a female but the believed female is 4 months old. We have them separated and will not pair them for 2 years. If you are going to have birds of any kind or already have them i suggest that you get a generator or two just in case electric goes out due to storms.if they get too hot or cold they could possibly pass away. Use non ethanol gas if available with a fuel stabilizer. 25 feet away from your house. I highly recommend firman 3650 watt's and up dual fuel

Great video, great topic!

Ooh boings on the ceiling!!! There's an idea! This video was well timed and has given me some inspiration as I've been trying to think of different ways to enrich Sunny's room. Thanks David!

My parrolettes love to snoop around, you've given me some ideas to try David, thanks 😊

I would really love a comprehensive list of safe foods for cockatiels and conures.

I really like your playstand. Like Rhonda I'm looking for a bigger tree stand, not necessarily a java tree, also it looks very good but it might be to slippery. Something more natural would be fine. Haven't found the right one yet, its more difficult than I thought ...

I have turned one of my bedrooms into a jungle playroom for my 2 conures. I have 3 long wavy perches, 4 swings, and a ladder hanging from the ceiling along with a climbing net. They can basically walk around from all of the things I have hanging from the ceiling 3 quarters around the room. I have a long table with a water fountain and a play gym and a foraging box on it for them to play. I also have toys next to the perches and swings as well. I also added wall decals of trees and plants. I also have two T stands for them to access a well. One with bowls and one that stands alone. Have I overdone this ? They seem to have a blast flying around exploring all of the fun things to do. I just got them a ring toss toy, and I'm training them to put the rings on the little post it came with. When watching your video of what birds see, I started wondering how they see the decals on the wall. It truly looks like a jungle. Their cage is 61 inches tall and 29 1/2 inches deep and the same wide. It's basically a square cage. It's full of enrichment. But is it too much ? Can this be over stimulating for them ? I've tried to make it as natural as I can to replicate an outdoor environment. We have covered all of the trim with pvc pipes, so there is no trim to chew on. I'm really curious what your opinion is on the decals and if I made the room too busy. I love it...but it's what's best for the birds that come first. I've noticed that you keep your walls free from things, and this is why I'm asking. I plan on getting a Java tree for them, but they are expensive, and I'm saving for a large one. We have a bird show coming up here in Lawrenceville, GA, on July 27th and 28th. We want to pick out our own to make sure we get the right one for our birds that we like as well. It's a risk ordering one being that they are expensive and you never know what you'll get.

Great ideas! I bought that foraging bowl and going to give it to my birds soon. Take care!

Love those block perches, going to make them for my birds ❤

First comment can I get pinned

how long do you leve it on for

Where I live, a new bird has taken up in the near-by woods. It has a really loud piercing voice that reminds you of typical pet shop bird noise. I don't know what it is but it is seriously doing my head in because it is really loud and has a sharp sound. Also, it is frightening away the blackbirds. Its most distinctive sound is a sort of "chub chub chub chub" noise plus squeaks and nasal "cree cree cree". If anyone knows what this bird is and how I can get rid of it for my sanity, I'd be really grateful! I have seen it twice I think and it is about the size of a blackbird and dull colour. Thanks everyone.

This is so true. I wish the bird rescue centre had given more information the first time I took on rescued birds. I had no clue what I'd gotten myself into and they acted like it was all normal. Having had birds from pet stores and breeders before I was totally unprepared. I wish they would give some sort of course bc it's very difficult to find info on how to rehabilitate rescues ❤️

Question for you! We've got a young tame male cockatiel who's about 9 months old. In about a month we will be adopting two baby brother cockatiels from the same clutch. Would it be okay to keep the brothers in the same cage and our existing cockatiel in the other cage to start the bonding process? Also I imagine we need to take each brother separately and do the bonding exercises in the video with the existing bird? Any insights are appreciated!

The only thing mine will it is seeds and sunflower seeds, I’ve tried everything with them and they wont eat it.

In a way a rescue is no different than any other bird in the sense that a relationship can be formed and trust can be earned but the process is usually slower with more challenges along the way but when they do finally come around it is so rewarding.

One time I heard that if the conure's feet is more pinky it's a girl and if it's more gray is a boy. Is it true??

I love your videos, but am hard of hearing. (Maybe why I chose such a loud pet lol) I was wondering if you could include closed captions? Thanks!

Hi could you please tell me where to source safflower seeds from please? Any advice greatly appreciated to where you get your supplies from, many thanks

Thank you so much for being honest about this. I just got a rescue pionus a couple months ago and even though he’s super “easy” in terms of rescue parrots without any major behavioral problems, we are still working every day on trust building. He still won’t take treats from my hand, which is making basic training, such as just stepping up, very challenging. I have zero regrets on adopting him and I’m patient and willing to work at his pace, but it’s not easy. I feel that certain groups almost bully people into adopting a parrot instead of buying one from a breeder and a lot of people just aren’t prepared to work through the issues and problems that can come along with an older rescue bird and sadly the bird is either left in its cage 24/7 and ignored or gets rehomed again. Don’t get me wrong, I’m absolutely pro-adoption, but I really believe that people should make an informed decision whether to adopt or buy from a breeder and consider what’s right for both them and the bird. Sometimes buying a baby is the right choice and I don’t think people should be made to feel bad if they’re honest in saying they’re not prepared to take on a rescue who needs more attention and knowledge than they have available. Every bird deserves the *right* home regardless of their origin and that begins with people behind honest with themselves about what they can take on.

Interesting share 👌👌👌👌👌

Thanks for you for tell us ⚘

🦜 I was forced to rescue an umbrella cockatoo from someone who never owned a bird before. It was on sale for $400 with large cage on craigslist, that is a red flag in itself. I suggested they should simply purchase a parakeet and maybe a handfed cockateil and warned a bird like that should cost so much more, their might be an problem with him. They insisted and made the purchase. Turned out the bird was only 8 years old, however, screamed non-stop. I learned a child owned the bird for 4 years but go bored of it, a second owner apaprently kept it in a cellar with no lights to keep it quiet but didn't work. The third owner literally purchased this bird for $400 had it for a whole week then BEGGED me to take him FREE. I did take him with cage and was able to keep him calm and handle him fine but cetainly diddn't have room for a large bird. I found a suitable owner who was used to handling large birds ... years later bird is happy and living with a family whoo loves the bird to this day. (5 owners in 8 years is rediculous and very sad, this happenes when poeple do not do their research)

How old are conures when they have their first moult?

Catching up on some of your old videos. You and Sophie are my favorite because you given practical and straight forward advice. Ive watched dozens of different channels and Ive come back to your videos over and over. The important thing for me is we want to do the best we can to give our conure a happy and healthy life, but we arent professional bird trainers and we have normal lives with jobs, family, and other obligations. We truely feel like we won the lottery when we brought our bird home. He has given us so much joy and laughter and love. We really appreciate all the knowledge and advice you share, but also you don't create unrealistic expectations of perfect birds and perfect bird owners. Thanks!!

Great advice. I rescued a cockatiel about 8 years ago. He had PTSD. He would freak out if he saw your hands. It was very difficult to change out his food and water bowls. He has come a long way since then. He will eat from our hands now. He will not let you hold him or anything like that. We take it one day at a time. He likes interacting with us so that is also a win.

Can you do a video on cockatiels poop types and their meaning?

Good Information
