If you have a suggestion for a name for our new baby bird, and Pillow's new friend, please leave them in the comments. We'd love to hear your ideas. Thanks!
I think you should name her Lucy😊
Zillow (not because of the website, that’d just be a super cute name for her! Plus it rhymes with pillow!), Daisy, Mrs. Puff, Goldie, Mango, Cheeto (for her orange cheeks), Honey, Zaffa, Zippie, Zazu - sorry for all the ‘z’ names but when I saw here she looked like her name should start with a z! Congratulations! :)
I think Willow is a good name as it rhymes with Pillow. Also, Willow could be for a male bird or a female bird. If you find out that your cockatiel is a female, you could name her Pearl as it is similar to Brendan's suggestion- Pearltail. (Not that you couldn't name a male bird Pearl- in my opinion Pearl would be more suitable for a female bird.)
name her duvet
Her/His mutation makes it difficult to know - impossible to tell by looking alone until he/she molts - Male names : Spike, Jaws (lol), Coco, Kitpu (means eagle in mikmaq language - canadian native american tribe language - pronounced "gitbo"), Sunny, Zorro, Squirt, Taz, Chopper,. Sticking with the P's to match pillow are : Pinto, Poncho (i actually think poncho is a great name to match Pillow), Pebbles, Peaches. Female names can be : Bijou, Alsing (means to fly free / glide in mikmaq language - and sounds like "all sing" in english! - I named my female alsing and my channel is mostly about her adventures) , Nutsy (maybe this is gender neutral? not sure lol). Good luck and once again, message me on my channel or privately if you have questions, I have had budgies for 8 years and a tiel now for almost 2 .
Who remembers when they first got pillow
Me
I do! ;)
@@KevinandKrista i would hope so hahaha ;D too funny ! I remember too :D I posted right away!
Yep
MEH!
Quilt is such a cute name! Pillow and quilt
True
Ooh I like that that should so be the name
How about sheets for a name
Me I loved it!
Tianique Roelofse if they got another budgie they should name it quilt
Pearl works nicely with Pillow, and incorporates your son's suggestion!
I wish my parakeets were that calm.
yeah
Your cockatiel is so adorable!! I noticed that you guys have a grate on the bottom of the cage and I recommend removing it because it can be a hazard to birds, especially younger ones since they can be clumsy and can land on the grate and hurt themselves.
And it keeps them busy picking out seeds from the floor that they dropped
i have a bird name teweding
Best parents ever!
Thanks Babrak! :)
@@KevinandKrista your welcome! Love your channel!
Zillow (not because of the website, that’d just be a super cute name for her! Plus it rhymes with pillow!)
Daisy
Mrs. Puff
Goldie
Mango
Cheeto (for her orange cheeks)
Honey
Zaffa
Zippie
Zazu
He atac
He protcc
Most importantly he Monch on his snacc
I love it when she poffs up or puffs up
When we first got my conure, it was cute seeing her navigate around her new cage, but in a way, I wanted to scoop her up and cuddle her 😂😂
I know, right? :)
Kevin and Krista Extras 😀😂
She's beautiful! Can't wait to see how her flight feathers grow in.
Hello little Cockatiel! You’re very very cute!!
The Cockatiel looks like a Pikachu!!! So cute get this to the top!!😃😄😄😀😃💕💞💓💢
I think she would suit the names Sparky or Willow :) she’s so cute you made the right choice with a cockatiel 💛🦜
Aww, thanks Jacca. Willow and Pillow. Haha! Cute.
Both of those birds are BEAUTIFUL!
Nice post 🕊🕊🕊
A Perfect Choice! Cockatiels are very sweet birds, very smart, social, and very non-aggressive. I think you made the best choice possible.
Thanks grouch!
A cockatiel!! They are very loud (depends on the bird) they need sooo much attention but slso very fun to play with.
That is a beautiful parrot 🦜
If the bird is a male, the pearl markings will generally go away, but if female, the pearls remain
Pearl Pied males can keep pearls on their wings :P eventually lose most back pearls tho :D
It looks so fluffy. I want it.
Here’s some name ideas: Pina colada, Pikachu, Blush, Coconut, Pearl
@Itz Txlly .. HOW DID I FIND ANOTHER SSO PLAYER LOL 😂.. I play sso too!
Gorgeous mutation. I myself have a cinnamon pearl pied Cockatiel.
As well as 2 parakeets and a gold cap Conure.
@Oie_ Mate .. JUST HOW DID I FIND AN SSO PLAYER ON THIS LOL 😂
Pal that's a good name
Congratulations. She is beautiful. Pillow will love her. Perched should be lower to the bottom at first to prevent falls that can injure.. She may not be used to other birds yet if she was not raised with siblings naturally. I use paper on bottom of cage and took out grate. Shavings can get swallowed or get moldy. and grate does not allow bird to pick up dropped food. Use an avian vet to recommend best food. Also look up Christine's Chop Shop for suggestions on healthy food.. Many people buy her food and she sends it to you. You can talk to her and she can tell you what to add to the diet you have. Good luck . She is precious. Pearl is beautiful.
*quilt!* I saw another comment with this name, and I think it’s kinda cute! It matches with pillow perfectly, and it sounds adorable! Congrats on your new little baby ❤️
Thanks Jenna!
@@KevinandKrista I'm very excited for you guys! :D
Cockatiel! They’re the nicest most loving pet ever!
AWW ITS A COCKATIEL!!😱😁😁
Why do I come here before they say what kind of bird it is? I know there will be spoilers but I do it anyway lol
I LOVEEEEE COCKATIELS
And he/she is so people friendly too. :)
I knew it was a cockatiel when i saw the cage hehe ! I just KNew >:)
I have worked with cockatiels and many other types of pet birds for over 35 years. My guess is that you have a male. If so he will most likely lose the pearls. The orange cheeks are pretty vibrant too. Females have less intense orange cheek patches. It is sometimes hard to tell with baby tiels until their first molt. Females also have barring on their legs and underside of their tail feathers, males don't. I would also not house them together. Cockatiels and parakeets have different needs and behaviors. They may be fine on a shared playground but territorial issues can arise when it comes to housing. Congratulations on your new family member!
Thanks Birdbrain18! :)
The best way to tell make from female is one a DNA test or two if the bird lays eggs.
We almost got a DNA test done there, but they had to draw blood and we didn't want to traumatize him/her right before we brought them home. We may still.
yay a new bird for the family
you guys have my two favorite kinds of birds!! Budgie and Cockatiel! How much did she cost? And please do not listen to those saying that you do not love your birds or care for them. You clearly have done lots of research, and know what you’re doing. And yes, most budgies get along with cockatiels, but it’s all about how you train her/him. Stay awesome! 😎
Rylan Moore - Aw, thank you! She cost $180. 😊
plush or plushy would be a good name because it matches pillow
Congratulations! I just got two new baby Cockatiels. One looks like yours. She is a cinnamon pearl pied, like yours. The other one is a white face charcoal.
My Cockatiel that looks like yours is named Willow and the other is Jingles.
Willow matches Pillow! Other names I can think of is Spike, Pearly, Smokey, Blossom, Stormy as that was my previous Cockatiels name. I also have another Cockatiel named Monty 😀
Omg ik ur channel!!!
Wow! I have two parakeets and one of my birds are named Willow too! The other is Wasabi.
Aww i have a budgie named willow!
@@bellthegalaxygirl9407 i have a budgie named willow too!
I have a white-faced cinnamon pearl cockatiel and he's gorgeous 🥰 we names him Tiki
The new Bird is so cute 😍 I love both 😍😍🐦🐦
Thanks Nadine! :)
Males will lose the pearls, females keep them :) What a cutie! Congrats and welcome to being owned by a cockatiel! Lol.
Thanks for the clarification Lillie! :)
I am so hyped i'm getting a cockatiel in 3 weeks! I hope it's as cute as this one.
Male tiels will lose the pearling, yes. It can take a few molts.
Brids love bells bc it sounds like a cherp of another bird
If it is a girl Pearl would be a pretty name since she will have the pearl markings!
Congrats !!! I am so happy for you guys and your new addition! I know she will be well loved, you guys do your homework too, which is great! Chili peppers actually taste sweet to parrots, they don't taste the hotness like we do ! If she is a girl, she will keep her pearls. If he is a boy, he will lose them, and turn into a normal looking grey cockatiel , unless - he is a pearl pied. Then he will keep a very small amount of pearls on his wings only, and lose all pearls on his back. You will have some idea if she's a girl or a boy by her behaviour by the time she is 6 months old and the first molt begins. Males sometimes start whistling a lot sooner, and you will know you have a male possibly a lot sooner then if she is a female. Males will whistle a lot, show heart wings, bow their heads while singing, and sometimes dance to music / tap dance / drum their cage bars or anything like a woodpecker. Females do not learn to whistle most of the time, they are more quiet and just flock call when your out of sight usually. A female will show hormonal behaviour by sticking her butt in the air and doing fast chirps. A male will masterbate on things. Males can be angry when hormonal, but it goes away after their hormones settle down (Some extreme cases, you have to leave him in the cage for a couple of weeks). Aww, too bad they clipped her =( Clipping young birds is not advised, it takes them a lot longer to learn to fly.(And some never learn sadly) I have my budgies for 8 years now and I have a 1 1/2 year old cockatiel, so if you need any advice just message me :) Young cockatiels are very playful and that's the best time to introduce healthy foods to them ! Your pellets have sugar in them, they are most likely zupreem brand. Natural is better (but dont throw it away, just mix it with some natural pellets if you like!) I feed my birds roudybush pellets, nibbles for my budgies and mini for my cockatiel. Even though the mini is about a cm in size, my tiel loves to chew them all up. Once again, vegetables/sprouts is the healthiest food to feed her , although she needs some pellets and seeds. Sunflower/flaxseed/peanuts/almonds should not be given to cockatiels, they are high in fat. Sunflower can be given 1-2 per day but thats all thats recommended. Cockatielcottage.net has amazing information about cockatiels, and budgies and cockatiels eat the same food !
Oh you mentioned in the video she is only 6 weeks old? Maybe you were mistaken , and the bird is 7-8 weeks. The breeder does not sound responsible, clipping a young bird too soon, and rehoming her too soon as well. A bird is not fully weened until they are eating on their own for 2 full weeks ! 6 weeks is when they usually start eating on their own ... This bird probably has only been eating on his own for 2-4 days. So I strongly advice you weigh your bird every day and make sure he/she is eating . I've read some horror stories on the bird forums and facebook groups of young birds dying from starvation because new bird owners don't know the dangers of a young bird not fully weaned. A sign of a bird regressed and not eating enough is loss of weight / not eating (fumbling with seeds but not actually able to open them properly), crying for food (screaming all the time or making a low frequency hunger noise), wet poops / diarahaa with no / little fecal matter. If any of these signs happen bring him back to the breeder right away ! Also, I see she is clumsy as most baby tiels are , when it comes to climbing in the cage. You can help her get to her perches by securing the rope perch on the outside from the very bottom to a perch she needs to get to , thats what I did for my tiel when i got her at the age of 8 months. After 2-3 weeks she could climb better :] practice makes perfect !
Thanks for all the info Alsing! Very helpful. :)
@@PwingMinecraft We think she was actually 8 weeks old when we got him/her. And we are taking him/her back to the store tomorrow (by their request - every week for a few weeks) to get weighed to see if she's gaining/losing weight. We did notice that when we are around, he/she will eat normally. But when we leave the room, he/she will not. So we stand and watch him/her eat frequently to make sure he/she's getting enough food. He/she has lots of poops and they do look normal though. Not wet/diarrhea like. And we did put the rope inside his/her cage. We might get another one to help even more. Thanks again for the info. :)
@@KevinandKrista Oh 8 weeks is much better :D thats the earliest they ween usually. She probably naps while you are gone and gets active when she sees you around. My tiel does that and she is 1 year 8 months :) They nap a lot ! Especially the young ones . No problem ! I always give info :D I am on a lot of facebook parrot groups and forums. Lol.
Molly or Marley and I’m getting my first cockatiel in 2 weeks so excited 😆🦜❤️
I have a budgie named Marely 😊
Congratulations! All you name them Molly or Marley? :)
Best channel ever for birds
Marshmallow, Ciel/le? They're so beautiful!
Ps. Ladders and boing style perches might help her get around ;)
I wish you all the best of luck with the new bird
Thanks mega!
It should be blanket lmao
Pillow and blanket would be cute!
I think you should name the new Birdy......
Polly!!😂
They could be Pillow and Polly!
Best team ever. Also it's good that you got a native specie of bird that come from the same place as budgies.
To be fair you guys should try getting a zebra finch or a canary for your third bird. I have 4 Zebra finches and 2 budgies
My mom told me that when she was in the late teens or a bit later she had 6 budgies,2 cocktiels and a dove. So I guess my family is just loves birds😂
Thanks furby! Pillow and Polly does have a nice ring. :)
@@KevinandKrista I was going for a great team name for them😊
Leo has some new friends pillow and that cockatiel bird 😊
Pearl is the cockatiel
I think “Quilt” is a nice name.
Oh my gosh. I'm so happy that you got a cockatiel. I have two cockatiels as well. She is so beautiful. Hope she gets along with Pillow
Name her/him matress or blanket or something that matches pillow
MATRESS?
Feather , because I adore her pattern with the gray stripes !!!

Have been binge watching your videos for two hours now! 😅 Love the way you treat your birds!!! 💓💓💓
I breed Cockatiels and I have bred them for about 20 years. It looks like you have a male
Nope, it's a female
Precious Pearl in my opinion it’s a male, I’m also a breeder. How can you be so sure that it’s a female?
I've owned over 70 cockatiels and that one is a girl
I also love RedBirds
How about Sheila or pearl!!
Putting the budgie at a distance away from the family can and prob will cause behavior issue's! Pillow is use to his routine and not being stuffed away in a bedroom. I have just purchased a new bird and we purchased a stand to hang the cage from online at Walmart and it is worth every penny. It was $23.99 to $25.99. It looks like your new bird is a male from the color!
Pillow is in a bedroom where Kevin has his desk and does a lot of work, so he's not away from the family completely. It's just temporary (quarantine). We didn't want him to get sick in case the new bird had an illness of some kind. But we are sure to give Pillow a little extra attention while he's not in the family room and will incorporate him back to his normal spot in a couple weeks. Thanks for your concern though. :)
my cockatiels name is Thanos
Alex lol
Teach him to say “You should of aimed for the head, *snap* “
Alex 200/10 best name
Top 10 best names od 2019
Lol 😂
You should name her blanket to go along with pillow
Noooo😢 I had so much hope that you got a budgie... A cockatiel isn't a real friend for a budgie. They don't speak the same language. They just will be together and that's it. It's like if you put a guinea pig with a rabbit. They are similar but not the same abd they don't understand eachother.
Leali Lumos lol any birds in flocks with understand and love each other as they make and learn new names for things, but all birds speak the same language originally; body language. Because the new bird is a baby, she/he will develop a language that is the exact same as Pillow’s language. She/he is a baby. Baby birds are extremely impressionable, especially with other birds in their flock.
Aww..
Bad thing there’s two birds squawking in the night .~.
Pearl or ruby if it's a girl and chilli or pepper if it's a boy
Congratulations on your handsome new addition to your flock! 🎉 Beautiful bird indeed 🥰. They are wonderful companions. Note: I recently added a baby hand fed cockatiel to my flock in January. He is very tame and loves to perch on us very much. But be careful until the flight feathers grow in. They can fall (as expected when clipped) and in in a short distance can hurt their underside. I’m dealing with this currently. So I’d sit while the bird is out so that a fall will be short. They are heavier and their tails more rigid than a budgie. Be careful. Great choice. Best of luck with all ❤️🐤🐦
Btw...I would agree with the previous comments about the vertical bars...sorry...🙏🏻 You can improve the set up with a boing (total MUST), more ladders and climbing items. Also I’d add a rectangular hook platform (@ $8). It really allows them an opportunity to truly rest. My breeder shared this and it’s absolutely true. Enjoy all your new adventures together 😘
love ur vids but plastic bowls are bad for bird they will get dirty and bacteria
Thanks TheKnight. We're looking at replacing them with steel ones in the near future and will keep washing them thoroughly every day in the meantime.
Thank you for choosing my choice as I said in your previous video that cockatiel is great bird. Name can be :-
May
Olive
Pearl
Cookie
Alex
Silver
Frozen
QT
Bud
Cushion(as your budgie name is Pillow).
Thanks for your comments Bhavy! Some great suggestions too! :)
I think her name should be pearl or marble
In 7:23 you can actually see markings in the bottom of the tail feathers and those indicate that the cockatiel is a female
Been waiting for this thankd! It makes me feel like a sexy and smooth looking pigeon :D
Your sexy
Not ha lol
Hahahahahag
Thank goodness that it is okay to put your budgie in bedrooms 😅
What about sun or sunshine???😊😊😊
Thx
So cute
I’m actually hoping I get a cockatiel for my birthday
IM SO MAD I DON’T HAVE A COCKATIEL
But I have 2 budgies
Budgies are awesome too! :)
Budgies are great. I love my little budgie girl (even if she hates me)
I am in the exact same situation
I have two budgies and one parrot
My bird also dances in his food bowl. It’s so cute
Same day i just got my indian ringneck
Congratulations! What are you going to name him/her? :)
Kevin and Krista Extras My parents wanted to name him/her radhe. He was supposed to get a female companion but the guy shipping it to us cheated and demanded more money, so were gonna wait another month
Brenda Girard I will try
Pearl .... or Case, to go with Pillow... 😂
Maby quill (quilt) because of pillow or maby tola or possibly pearl or tiel
I hate that people dislike bird videos like they are so cute
I have some names cloud , sky, shadow, marshmallow
Some great suggestions here. Thanks Taylin! :)
Taylin Adams I like marshmallow, it sounds cute.
I love baby birds

Flappy
Kluckie
Phoenix
Pilot
Shooting Star
Tailfeather
Such a perfect bird! It's so pretty and seems to have a great temperament. I don't have names suggestions, but I would suggest being careful on the types of beddings you try. Most wood shaving beddings have toxic oils to birds or microscopic dust which can be harmful to the respiratory systems of birds and even other small animals. If you do wood cuttings, only dust filtered aspen wood chips, and kiln dried pine are said to be safe. Ceder and normal pine are on the top of the avoid list for oil toxicities. I personally use paper towels in my bird cages, and spot clean by dry scraping at dried poo on toys and perches, and when needed I wash things.
Anyways, great looking bird, good luck on learning something new every day and having fun too!
Cc Girl - Thanks for the tips! 😊
the should be.....carpet
Hahahaha!
So cute!!! Great video😀 you could call her blanket.
