We had cocktiels when I was growing up. They did a better job at letting us know that someone had pulled into the driveway than our dogs did.
I swear Iâll be walking up to our door and hear my cockatiel start squawking before Iâm close enough for her to see me, it amazes me every time! I didnt know it was normal for most to do that! I always thought she was psychic đđ
You know how they say a little birdy told me ? đ birds are good 'watch dogs' đ
Clyde is a typical tiel. Biting you for doing what he wants you to do đ€Łđ€Łđ€Ł
Typical tiels lol
*cockatiel
As a cockatiel owner of three years, it's great and unintentionally funny watching you struggle with stuff that's a regular Tuesday for us (stubbornness with food, neophobia and skittishness, taciturnity, etc).
I have a cockatiel named Dino who is 27 years old. He can be a bit cranky now that he is older, but he is incredible. I have had him since he was a year old. He has never bit me, likes to dance to music, and he can say some words. He does a wolf whistle too. During my hard times, he was there for me. I'm not ready to lose him. They're incredible birds. I've had 4 already.
Having had a cockatiel for the last 13 years, it is hilarious to finally see a cockatiel project bird on this channel. I feel like working with a cockatiel is just so much different from the larger birds and more difficult in many respects.
They are stubborn little buggers
I loved my cockatiels. Had Poco, which I mated with my nieces male. Took one of the females home and mom and daughter were so loving. Instant love. She recognized my car and started loudly chirping until I went up to say hello. My 65 lbs dogs were totally freaked out by them. All they did was walk on the dogâs back and preen them. đđ they hid under my hair and next thing the preening began. Immediately learned that making my index finger go forward and back meant scratching and massaging the head, helping to disguise the removal of the new feather sheaths. They loved their baths and sitting next to windows listening to birds outside. Just loved them to pieces
ohhh, my little guy was named Poco, too! He was hand fed and I got him as a baby. He was the sweetest bird I've ever had. He lived on my shoulder. I miss him almost daily and he passed 30 years ago!
Seeing you cover your sleeve to have Clyde step up makes me so happy, I used to have to do this with mine and everyone told me I just needed to let him bite it out etc and that it was the wrong way to go about it. 2 years down the line I hardly ever get bitten and I never have to use my sleeve anymore! He recalls to me, knows the gave of hide and seek and even descends to me when Iâm laid on the floor! Anyone out there struggling, donât give up hope! It can take a while but itâs SO worth. Heâs also the cuddliest and clingiest boy ever which sometimes can be so irritating but deep down, I love it đ
Murphy will be 6 in May and we started this trained when he was 3, a month before he turned 4! Anyone reading this, there is hope and donât let anyone tell you different â€
Please let me know if you have questions!
My Amazon took years before he stopped biting me and now he's a good little boy. But I have had a pet psychic talk to him on numerous occasions about biting me biting himself being a brat. That helped a lot but it does take a long time. And cockatoos are the worst but Amazons are not far behind
@@jmdenison cockatoos ate the absolute worst (Iâll give that to U2s đ) but weâve come a long way and itâs so worth it! Iâm sure youâll say the same â€ïž
@@jennabeverley4013 My G2 I'll put up against your u2 any day for being and obnoxious brat đđ
@@jmdenison I donât have a U2âŠ
How can i get him to like baths and quit being agressive?
Cockatiels always come with attitude lolđ
I'm so glad you are sharing this content. I have 2 cockatiels and I know exactly the struggle. LOL! I thought it was only my birds. It is like they are saying "I'm the boss!" lol
I have to say Iâm surprised at not only Clydeâs behavior but also the comments. I have had two cockatiels in my childhood and they were both very sweet. I was never bit hard by either one of them. I always thought Cockatiels were just sweethearts. Now as someone who was considering getting another one Iâm a little scared!
same! I have two of the sweetest tiels. They're temperamental and can be nappy but they never actually bit me, aside from one time when I had to catch my female because she injured her paw. And even then she didn't drew blood. Guess we got lucky? haha
Any species is capable of showing aggression and fear, especially when they might have a background of not being treated with respect. The good news is that with time, patience and by applying permission based training most parrots can overcome those previous fears and tendency towards aggression.
Iâve had crazy tiels and Iâve had superrrr sweet tiels that were like little dogs. Super smart, affectionate, never bit. If it did it never hurt and just tickled. I love tiels theyâre all so different
Cockatiels are SUPER difficult to diet transition. Always been the most difficult birds Iâve worked with on diet transitioning cause it took SOOO long
2:02 I am sooooo glad to hear you say this. I thought it was just me with the struggle. đ Thank you for the validation! I swear, itâs like anything with a crest has the life goal of seeing just how much patience and willpower we humans donât have!!
I think youâre right about the crested birds!
Clydeâs a very pretty birb, attitude notwithstanding. đ
I always say that cockatiels have the emotions of a full sized cockatoo packed inside that tiny body and they donât know what to do with it!
Going to enjoy this! My Tiel is a little shite during the day with unprovoked and unannounced attacks. At night heâs like a wee sweet baby, loves cuddles and scratches.
He reminds me so much of my Archimedes, who passed two years ago. He was such a bitchy little bird. Would not go off seed, but would occasionally nibble on broccoli slaw. Love his millet and playing on the top of his cage. Had a special distress call for when he landed on the floor(never would try flying up from the floor) and realized that there were cats down there and would want rescue. Cats just wondered what the noisy thing on the floor was. I miss him.
Tf2 fan?
@@YelloowMelloh No, history fan.
Great point about being aware of your emotional state before working with your birds. Out of all the birds I've ever had, cockatiels are the most empathic. They really pick up on and mirror your emotions back at you. It's both a blessing and a curse!
he's so pretty! cockatiels look so elegant and proud lol
Visited friends at thanksgiving who had a cockatiel (one had died). His owner taught him a Mozart opus. He would only perform for the family daughter. It was stunning. Never saw such a thing.
YES!!! Huzzah! Me and my 1 year old male cockatiel, Pidgey, thank you!! I have honestly had only the most positive possible experience with my cockatiel so far (had him since he was 2 months old). He has never bitten, and has been super easy to train, and will willingly eat anything. That said, he's in full hormone zone right now, so who knows what the future brings.
So very excited to see this series with Clyde. Tiels are something special, man, for real.
Makes me feel better to see you struggleđ I mean that in the best way possible
Yes when other bird owners are being bitten and they're frustrated and the bird wants absolutely nothing to do with training, I would never ever betray them by saying or else snickering behind the scenes because we've been there
I have 5 cockatiels currently and in total Iâve adopted 8 cockatiels. Iâm very interested in seeing how you go about training and diet converting Cylde since every single cockatiel (or parrots in general for that matter) is different with how you train and convert them. None of my cockatiels were trained or diet converted in the same way. They all have different backgrounds, personalities and boundaries. One of my cockatiels loves being around me as much as Iâll allow and one doesnât want me near him unless for food. Cockatiels are very popular so Iâm glad youâre finally doing a series on one.
I'm fostering a Senegal. This "teaser" seems to be exactly my experience with Holly. She would invite you in and then nail you! For a month I sat with her for Hours and hours. I swear she was planning on how to make sure that the next strike would hurt me more than the last one! I think in my case it could have been grumpy because of diet conversion to chop and your pellets (still working on it) and fear. I let her have her way and was hands off until vet day. I had to get her in the carrier, no longer could I wait for her to decide that I'm actually pretty cool to hang out with. Shock of all shocks, I lowered her foraging tree to the ground and she said "step up" "come here" and decided to be my bestie! Now she needs her forever family to find her so she can flourish with them. I'm so excited to see this series!
Lol now you probably see why we desperately wanted cockatiel content đđ
Oh I loveeed and miss my cockatiel Peaches SO much, but yeah fingers were his arch nemesis for 16 out of the 18 years I had him. Unless they were painted! Then it was magically fine đ. Loved feet, HATED fingers. Diet conversion (once I discovered how bad seeds were) was a huge challenge, too. But, your videos helped so much with both!! So although Clyde put you through the ringer, your wisdom helped me have a much better relationship in addition to helping me realize how bad seed diets are for birds.
So thank you for all your videos!! Can't wait to see more of Clyde so I can get my cockatiel fever fix đđ
Cockatiel owner for nearly 10 years now, think big cocktoo tiny body. They have just as much attitude and are very clever. But, they are tiny fluffy monsters that can be very affectionate with time. They will still bite, mine does if I don't scratch his head correctly (Yes, in his mind there is a wrong way to scratch his head.)
Yaaaaaaaaaaay!!! I know this will sound horrible but I'm so glad that you are having the same struggles that all cockatiel owners have!! Ozzy my almost 2 year old boy was hand reared and can be really sweet. Hormones and tiels are a nightmare! Yes the bites hurt like hell when they mean business, but less than green cheeked conures in my experience! I just read his body language so real bites aren't often. I'm really looking forward to seeing this series and how you go along. I only ever want to give Ozzy a healthy happy life, and he loves your grain/seed mix!
Seeing you struggle with a cockatiel makes me feel a lot better about all the progress I made with the lost pet cockatiel that my mother CAUGHT
Looking forward to the new series!
About 6 months ago now, I adopted a cockatiel pair from the local parrot shelter after my companion tiel of 11+ years passed away from egg binding. I wanted to wait a bit longer than I originally did, but I needed them as much as they needed a forever home because my mental health took a big hit. Since then I've managed to get them on a healthier pellet, we're working on veggies, and both have already learned step up and spin! What I learned from BirdTricks when I went to their MC in the Twin Cities has helped so much in that.
Love you all Dave, Jamie, and Capri! đ
I'm so excited to see you work with Clyde! I have two tiels, and they are the sweetest and meanest little things. Terry, my boy is mostly sweet but has attitude! My sister's tiel, Skye, can be a sweet bean one minute and biting the next.
We've learned to respect their boundaries and they almost never bite with intent to hurt (when a tiel wants to hurt you, they hurt!).
I once offered to bird sit for a tiel like Clyde (looked like him too) and he was a vicious little thing.
I love tiels so much though. They were my first parrots and they have a special place in my heart â€ïžâ€ïž
Yay!!! I have 3 tiels and can't wait to see this! I might sign back up for Patreon again!
Clyde reminds me of my Mochi, sheâs so much sass. Yet so sweet. She lets me know when she wants to train or when she just wants to sit on my feet.
Ive owned many cockatiels, they are the best. I have NEVER had a bad transition at all. They bonded so fast, so well. I always transitioned them fast after, quarantine and never a let down. Love my cockateils and everyone does things different.
Good luck you and everything he has to learn. It will go well, I'm sure!
Awesomeness please get 1 more 2 together is amazing I had 1 for a year and then brought another and omg together they are so special
I know you are never going to give up .
My cockatiel is SUPER mean lol. He tolerates me to a point, but anyone else is a target, lol. He still bites me for looking at him funny, though lol. I've had no luck with diet conversion to any birdtricks food, but I've got him on harrisons and some chop (he especially likes carrot and spinach based chop).
Cockatiels are the Master Whistlers of the bird world đ¶đ”đ”đ¶đ¶
I love my tiels, but also had canaries, and their songs were also stunning.
@@PG-wz7by The thing about cockatiels is they copy human songs by whistling. Many birds parrot speech, and also whistles, but not like cockatiels do. My grandmother had a canary she was very fond of. Sweet birds.
I an SO excited for this series! I have been struggling with the cockatiel I rescued about 19 months ago with a lot of similar challenges that you are having with Clyde.
Our hand raised cockatiel is the best pet we have had. Heâs so friendly and loves attention. He thinks heâs a baby puppy with wings and is a total Velcro bird. Heâs got his dinosaur moments but heâs the best parrot ever. Oh heâs heâs obsessed with eggs lol. Iâm guessing the behaviors are all the difference between a project bird like this and a hand raised baby like ours.
This is awesome news! Looking forward to the whole series.
And I love that you don't show only the glamorous side of pet rescuing. We all have put mental limits, and birds are individuals with unique personalities.
I'm still working on establishing a relationship with my rescue Senegal, and I am struggling (like, the first few weeks I had to up my antidepressants and I still spent the days crying and feeling horrible. Mine grew in an small aviary with other birds and had little human interaction, so he is a savage.
So, of course, I would love to see a Senegal series(especially since I read they are in the top of abandoned parrots).
Thank you so much. We need some cockatiel help!! ASAP! Yes we having been waiting!
So excited to see this series!! I've had my tiel for 2 years now and i'm STILL struggling with diet conversion! Have moved him off store bought seeds to TOPs pellets, couscous/rice, nutriberries, and birdy bread with veggies in, but that seems to be as far as I can go - looking forward to seeing how you get on!

My tiel absolutely hates cold pressed pellets. Instead of eating the pellets he will chomp them into bits and toss them around lol. Months of this and he would not relent. I look forward to watching this series

so love when you take on a project bird.. Clyde looks so cute You always make the project birds 1000 times better than when they arrive. excited to watch this.
I am excited for you! We adopted Milo, our male tiel 3 years ago. We were able to transition his diet from all seeds to pellets and some veggies with seeds being a treat now. My vet recommended Harrisonâs fine foods which helped us convert. He is definitely more moody as can be. So sweet and so mean all in oneđ . He has come such a long way very slowly over time. Canât wait to learn from you!
Yea!!!!!! You're going to LOVE Clyde!
My cockatiel is the same coloring, and he was the same way when I first got him, very standoffish and he still can be from time to time. Honestly got super lucky with how easily I got him onto a pellet diet, I just sprinkled some pellets over the counter with him running around the counter and used my hand to pretend like my hand was eating them he got super curious and here we are 8 years later on a majority pellet diet.
Ahhhhh! You used the human child approach!! Very clever!!đ
Capri seems to be truly gifted when it comes to working with smaller birds.
Omg silly precious babies! Iâm so excited!
This is exactly what my tiel does! I seriously think he thinks itâs his way or the highway. đ
Yesssssss finally! I definitely need help with mine!
He reminds me of my green cheek, I haven't figured her out. She is on a healthy diet, and that helps because she is super treat motivated, but still unpredictable from one day to the next
Clyde's a really cutie, can't wait to see how this project unfolds
finally!!!! â€ïžâ€ïžâ€ïžâ€ïž
Best species ever!!!!
I love cockatiel content, Thank you for the informative video! đ đ
Our cockatiel is 15 months old, and we are keen to learn from your experience with Clyde.
So excited!! Laughing with some of the others at how he can somehow switch on a dime
I have watched your vids for years and learned so much about bird behavior, how to respect them, getting a new bird etc etc.
I had a cockatiel as a kid and have wanted to get one as an adult for years now. So happy you got Clyde!
Cockatiel CONTENT AHHHHH I LOVE LOVE LOVE THEM I have always wanted a cocktatiel â€ïžâ€ïžâ€ïžâ€ïžâ€ïžâ€ïž I'm so excited for this video series thank you thank you thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!
Must be my Montys twin, lol. His tail though đł
Haha I love it. I have a feeling this series will be something more like âslow patient miraclesâ.
My tiel is an angle! She was my first bird she goes all over with me. She is nice to everyone is happy to sit and get head scratches. Sheâs mostly quiet compared to other birds at least. She made me fall in love with birds so much that I got a green cheek that came from another home previously. Heâs freaking crazy and made me realize I probably donât need other birds. Very loud and always getting into trouble but I still love him. Cocktails Iâm my experience are easy and very sweet coming from my experience.
A cockatiel landed in my yard and stepped up when I offered my hand so I feel chosen . Havenât found the owners so I will probably end up keeping her . Sheâs super Millet driven and is starting to step up without treats in my hand:) itâs been a week and sheâs doing so well. She has attitude but I love it. Iâm having trouble switching her from seed to Harrisonâs. Hopefully soon
Iâm getting mine tomorrow!!! Amazing timing; holy man!
So happy you're doing a cockatiel! This looks like my struggle when I tried to convert my tiel to organic pellets (just about all veggies and fruits are dead to him lol), I had to crush them up into very tiny bits and it was a constant battle where I had to bring back the seed mix his previous owners fed him because I'd worry he wasn't eating enough. Eventually, he switched, but I'd still give him some near the end of the day just encase. They're very stubborn and I kept feeling bad I wasn't doing the conversion right seeing how some succeeded more easily but tiels are definitely very stubborn and afraid of things they're not used to early on. Can't wait to see the rest of this!
He's so beautiful đ
Really looking forward to this series! I adopted a cranky old man with a lot of the same issues i caught glimpses of here. It took me a week or so to get him to eat your recommended seed mix and an entire year before he really touched his chop despite seeing my other cockatiel eating it. He is super nippy like this guy and can cause blood if not careful. We have come a long way though thanks to your videos, so I can not wait to see how you work through this!
Birds seem to have a different script when it comes to the master plan.
I just got a new tiel myself, so it's funny to me to watch you struggle with one! Mine's no trouble at all, though. So far...
Yeah... Finally! Thank you âŁïž
My tiel was a struggle at first too, I had only budgies or lovebirds for 20yrs. I realized with tiels to teach them any commands or tricks is a slow trust process. I love my tiel but she for sure reminds me more of a cat than a parrot đ
Yay!! Thank you đ
I went full awww when I saw the thumbnail!
Yay so excited to see how you do with Clyde! Han solo loves to bite too.đȘ. We will learn through you! Thank you.â€đ€
Yay!! Cockatiels are easily the best parrot breed in my opinion đ„°
I cannot wait!! I love cockatiels!
I think my sun Conure is far more intelligent than I give him credit for. The minute you said â I donât normally struggle so fricking hard with diet conversion as I did with Clydeâ he laughed at you!! So I of course went back to what you said and hit replay and he once again laughed at you. I wish I would have gotten it recorded. Sorry for your struggle, our sun Conure says thanks for the laugh đ
Ive been thinking about getting a bird for about 3 yrs now. Researching different breeds, what they need and how to bring them home and train them successfully. I want to give a rescue bird the best life. A tiel or a couple is in my top 5.
Cockatiels are probably the most phobic parrots lol
I have a slightly bitey hahns/sun cross. Appreciate all your content re biting. She's only young (1yo) so we are working on it. She's super velcro birb and very bonded, so that helps, but she's a lil nippy at times.
I rescued a 25 year old cockatiel that had a bacterial infection and was raised on seed. I took him to the avian doc and he had be convert him to harrisons food. It looks a lot like seed. I used those seed food balls to convert then finally took it away. He has been on pellets for four years. He absolutely loves it. When he bites walk away mine was the same way and sometimes he does the same thing, but quickly realizes he does want out of his cage and squaks for me LOL just my .02
Iâm so excited for this series!
I havenât watched in a while but then I saw this series and Iâm on it!
Your hair looks beautiful
This is so awesome. Iâm so excited for this series. My female cockatiel is so sassy and I see that in Clyde too, yet my bird is a Velcro bird as well. You just never know the mood from hour to hour with a cockatiel. Lol. But I know she loves me.
Yay not a huge fan of cockatiels my self but this will be plenty fun love the diet converting and all the stuff you gotta work out thanks Jamie even if you fail we can all learn (yourself included)
My Mochi knows the sound of my car and I can hear him outside before I even enter the house! Like a greeting, it's so cool. Love that little man so much. My guy just really let me know he love chop! I thought he was just eating the millet and nothing else (homemade seed recipe from Bird tricks). He is a very picky eater for sure, but I love him so much! I just adopted 2 parakeets too. I am so happy to have Bird Tricks in my life, can't even tell you how much it has taught me. I get the biting for no reason, Mochi does that as well, is it a Cockatiel thing??
You thought cockatoos were bad, wait until you experience the cockatiel temper.
Perfect timing for this series Iâm getting a cockatiel toooođ
YAY!!! This is perfect for me because I have had a cockatiel since just before Christmas
I've had a few Tiels and I always put them on zupreem after I get them. It's an easier transition from pure seed to something a bit healthier. But if they never move off from the fruit pellets, at least it's not all sunflowers and peanuts.
Wow! So much excitement in this comment thread! So much birdie Wuv-wuv!!! So many exclamation marks! So much light in your eyes Jamie as you talk about this cockateil and your struggles with him. Are you falling in love Jamie? đ â€đ đđđ
Thats a chubby cute cockatiel! Thought it was a pigeon, he does look kinda mean when hes about to bite omgah! love this video tho
Just remember that cockatiels and cockatoos are not like normal birds. They spend most of their day down in the grass and vegetation foraging for seeds. For that reason many cockatoo and cockatiel owners will tell you they need more seeds than most birds and they think pellets are kind of a scam
Roflmao! Diet conversion in tiel males is just basically... difficult to say the least (aka it's own version of hell). My grumpy little old man was SO STUBBORN! Lol. (Older rescue).
I forgot: Congratulations on your new bird!
Welcome to the world of 'tiels. They're super sassy & spirited. They looooove to eat. Mine will do the impossible for just a couple bites of millet. They're the best birds in my opinion. One of mine even talks. Hope you have fun!
Yaaaaaah!!!!!!!! Awesome! I have one that I still canât fully convert off his seed diet. His weight also automatically drops if I remove too much of the seeds. It is Soooo annoying. He also refuses all baths in all formats. My other one eats everything and takes baths, but he tends to be quite aggressive with me, especially when I need to handle his buddy. They compliment each other well. I sometimes feel like theyâre the ones training me to be their pet rather than the opposite.
You are doing awesome! Better than expected too! Iâm proud of you and your family helping Clyde! Please in the nearby future is to try to fit in another part 2 project for a cockatiel. I strongly believe you and your family can make a difference in your most challenges with these beautiful bird breeds. You can do it!â€
Thank Youuuuuu â€â€â€â€
I had two different Cockatiels. Spike who flew the coop and was never seen again. Then we had Louie. He died of natural causes. I remember it was Mother's day and I found him on the bottom of his cage. They were both hand tamed when I got them. Looking forward to seeing you work with Cylde. Gina
Exciting news! I canât wait to see how you do with Clyde! I have two cockatiels. Cockatiels are VERY different from other the birds you have! Good luckđ«¶đ
I'm so excited. I'm going to be getting a cockatiel very soon.
Trying to convert my new cockatiel as well. Just got him from seed and millet diet from breeder. Slowly itleast trying to do pellets then gonna sneak some choppy chop in there đ

Too funny, my ancient cockatiel was like this , heâs nearly 20 yrs old now and now cuddly and eating chop. I think heâs got dementia.
weve had numerous cockatiels over the years before pprogressing to Moustached parrot, Indian Ringneck and an African Grey.
Cockatiels seems to have an attitude problem bigger than the bird but they can be very loving with lots of preening of people too
