- Twinkie the Cockatiel sings the Indiana Jones / Raiders Of the Lost Ark Theme song. (Co-staring Ava). Hear him sing a brief excerpt from the Adams Family @ 1:48 & 3:48 as well as a wolf whistle @ 4:05.
Those birds are almost too cute to be allowed.
Lovely to see a child being brought up with respect and care for animals, beautiful :)
Cockatiel might not be able to mimic human voice anywhere nearly as good as macaws or African grays, but from so many uploded YT videos it seems like they are the best type of singer among all parrots and birds ;)
Ours used to be pretty territorial as well in the beginning though we got him used to us by frequently taking him out of the cage, setting atop the cage, allowing him to perch on my shoulder, walk on the carpet, etc... Eventually he'll start being more comfortable around you. Just a matter of time before he begins to trust you though don't be discouraged. Even our bird today will open his beak when the cage opens but I'll bring my finger to his chest regardless & he'll hop on.
This is hilarious, he does it so well! I'm trying to teach mine but he mashes together this, Star Wars, Addams family as well as "watcha doin little one", it's quite funny!!
Awesome and so cute
Thanks so much for watching TheXCrafterNL!
That's adorable how he responds so well to your daughter :)
As I continue to watch, I love the random Addams family insertion, lol.
Thanks for watching & thanks for sharing these great memories about Hannibal. Amazing how these tiny little birds with tiny little brains have such HUGE personalities. They whistle when they hear your car on the way to the door, they get separation anxiety when you leave & they're so happy when you come home. Very sorry to hear about your loss & thanks again for sharing...
The girl is so adorable lol I love how she kept repeating hello twinkie how are ya, whatchya doin?
So birds are the evolution of some dinosaurs, now they're learning to mimic our music.... we're dooommmed..... :-)
Why do cockatiels look like Pikachus?
LOL, never made the association until now, but yes they do :)
Pumzilla my first cockatiels name was pikachu ; w;
Omg XD Totally naming mine that.

Daww, this is adorable! both the cockatiel and the little girl ^^
Our cockatiel hit the subscribe button as we were listening to Twinkie. He approves!
You have a beautiful bird and an equally beautiful daughter!!!
I had to laugh with how Twinkie whistled the tunes....the emphasis on the high note and breezing over the bottom one casually. How funny!! What a cute bird.
Just 20 or so minutes a day is how I train Twinkie for a new song. I've found that even though he's not responding or whistling back, he's still listening. They'll also pick up repetitious sounds like buttons on the microwave, ring tones, alarm system, etc... If he's picking up these daily, random sounds I think your little guy has potential as well. :)
Both Twinkie and your child are precious. Thanks for the entertaining video.
Your bird is so adorable. My male cockatiel does not sing but he does talk..He is almost 18 yrs old and I have had him for almost 17 yrs. He was a rescue. Iguess I did not work with him enough. But he is still my pride and joy. Thanks for sharing.
That bird is talented!!! He sang not only the Indiana Jones theme, I also heard the Adams Family theme music too! Cute.
Twinkie is beautiful! Your song choices are great! I have a female parrotlet and I hope over time she will want to whistle. I would love to add a male cockatiel to our family. My Calypso is a Diva. I heard that cockatiels are "love sponges". Twinkie is so sweet with Ava, who is also adorable!
they are both so precious!
Makes me miss my Sammy. He did the Andy Griffith tune. I loved it when he did the wolf whistle when I got up for the day. haha. They have such character and was such a good companion.
It takes patience and a lot of repetition whistling to the bird. They will sing more when they are happy, as you can see. Twinkie loves his little girl!
I did at first with with the Andy Griffith Theme Song but found it actually didn't take much time at all, whistling a song for a few minutes in the AM before work & whistling again for (10/15+ minutes) when I got home from work. In all, I'd say 15-20 minutes a day average (5 days a week for a few weeks) & he would start whistling/perfecting on his own over time. All of his recent songs (including a few we're currently teaching) do not use any looping.
Definitely persistence. Twinkie will do nothing but stare at me when I whistle a new tune to him. I’ll notice that he’s paying attention (he’ll turn his head sideways & stare at me) or do some funky thing with his neck, almost like a dance, but he won’t utter the tune (maybe occasionally a random squawk). I’ll whistle to him daily, even if I do not get a response & eventually (days or even weeks down the road), he’ll start whistling the tune (& I'll join in) until he perfects it.
Thank you! We're in the process of teaching another one & should hopefully have it posted shortly. The next one has been pretty difficult for him though the main notes should be pretty recognizable.
Very cute - loved it! Sweet little girl as well! Cant beat the combination.
Thanks so much for watching Robert :)
The pleasure was mine, I assure you. Thank you for posting!
wow your cockatiel is adorable!😍😍😍
I like how adorable they are an smart plus those rosey red cheeks omg soo cute
That's so flippin' cute (〃ω〃)
We played a looping mp3 of the Andy Griffith theme song which he picked up very quickly. That was the only time we looped the mp3 since we found that occasionally whistling tunes like the imperial march, adams family, etc… were picked up very quickly with just 30 or so minutes of whistling a day, after work. Even if they do not respond, whistle anyway since they are still listening/memorizing. (which is what we found with Twinkie)
Good job Twinky!!! Indiana Jones AND Addams Family There as bonus track! Bless his little soul!!!
Your daughter is the cutest child I have ever seen. What a great video!
very cute. lovely bird.
That bird is in love with your daughter. They usually cling to one member of the family. He'll be attached to her for the rest of his life.
As raiderhawg already mentioned, persistence is the key. I will whistle a new tune to him even though he doesn't even make an attempt to whistle back. Even though he's quiet, he's still listening. Only takes 20 minutes or so a day of whistling the same tune & he eventually picks it up. Male cockatiels however (rosy cheeks) are the most vocal & easy to train.
Thanks very much for the feedback. Will work on getting more songs/vids posted.
With Twinkie, I only take about 20 or 30 or so minutes a day if I want to teach him a new tune. The trick is, whistle the tune regardless, even if they don't seem to be responding. Twinkie typically won't whistle back but he'll tilt his head & look at you as if he's listening. After a week or so (or even longer), he builds the courage to start whistling out loud. (though I'm guessing he's practicing when I'm away) :)
Cute Twinkie I like her name
Ours started mimicking within 6 months or so. What's funny is, we got him initially as a pet & didn't even consider training him to whistle. It was only after he started mimicking ring tones, the microwave, the ADT alarm system touch-pad, etc... that we decided to see how far he could go. Doesn't take much time at all with training as they pick up the tunes even if they don't appear to be paying attention.
Hi. Cockatiel's are very social birds. It's a matter of getting them comfortable around you & daily interaction. Over time, they'll learn to trust, eat out of your hands, allow you to pet their heads/scratch their necks, etc... Just takes patience. Good luck!
Sweet and adorable :-D
That was so cute! My cockatiel Scooter is excited now lol,
omg so cute!!! and a pretty bird too
He is so cute :)
Crazily talented bird....my cockatiel I had for around 7 years never sang (from what I remembered) but I accidentally tamed him when I was 4 (my aunt gave him to my family) and he was basically a velcro bird after that....he would NEVER leave me when I took him out of his cage O.O
What a beautiful guy!
Amazing singing! Adorable tiel😻
We got him very young & he started mimicking things like the alarm system, the microwave, ringtones, etc… within a few months. When we saw the potential & we started whistling the most recognizable tunes like Andy Griffith & Adams Family which he picked up very quickly. I’d say within 6 months or so after we got him he was able to whistle recognizable tunes.
Very sweet cockatiel :) And a big tallent too! I want mine to be like it :D
This video is too cute. My cockatiel sings Raiders of the Lost Ark mixed in with Andy Griffith. My 3 year old granddaughter loves it. Your daughter is beautiful!
He picked it up pretty quickly. We started off with the Andy Griffith theme song, basically continuously whistling the tune. We would even loop an mp3 of the song on the pc when we stepped out. This/these songs however he just picked up whenever I had time to whistle (so we no longer brainwash him with mp3's) :). He mimics our cell phones, microwave as well as the alarm system alarm pad tones.
Funny since my coworker said exactly the same thing. Thank you very much for listening & the comments!
Yes, amazing as well that it doesn't take much time for them to pick-up/remember a tune. Twinkie picked up the ADT alarm system tones, microwave as well as the home phone ring tone on his own. Good luck with the training!
Shortly after we got him, we noticed that he started mimicking things like the alarm system, the microwave, ringtones, etc… We figured, let’s try to whistle to him & see if he can mimic. What’s funny is, they listen even if they don’t whistle back. I’ll whistle to him daily with him doing nothing but staring at me. Then a few days or week later, we can hear him practicing the tunes. It’s just a matter of persistence & not giving up if you don’t believe they are listening.
Ms. Pumzilla, I think your cockatiel Twinkie, and your little girl Ava are so cute!X3 And I think your a very nice person as well.
I love the little girl too, the two of them are great in the fam video
oh how cute...i had a "twinkie" too just looking the same, he became 25 y and could whistle and dance...his best friend was a crow 3 times bigger sized, but they loved each other. When i see this , i feel so much his loss...its 7 y ago,.becose it was and this is so beautiful .Yes good job, bravo Twinkie and YES at 4:10 this whistling is a hello ;) I have a lilly crow now ,she whistles right the same way like cockatiels saying hi ! Thats amazing why the birds choose this whistle for hello ? t y
Beautiful birdy, very clever
really awesome, also ur voice is so relaxing
Hello. I've read & been told as well that if you introduce another cockatiel, they will keep each other occupied as opposed to relying on their handlers (considered their flock leaders) for companionship. We're considering getting another regardless as it appears he has a bit of separation anxiety when we step out of the house. When out of the cage he is extremely affectionate, preens my facial hair, my wife's hair, plucks at her earrings & loves when we scratch the back of his head/neck.
Awwwwwwwwwwww sooooooooo cute!!!
my bird goes nuts when he hears your bird lool
man what a an awesome singing bird
]
u know you can get milloins becusae of this bird!
this is literally the cutest thing I can't even-
oh so scute!! i just learned my cocatiel to sing the jingle bells 😂😂
Nice birdie. I can tell he likes the Ava!
alternatively you can wear a glove and hold him. He'll fight you but eventually he'll relax as you talk and pet him. Use this method if nothing else works
Sooo cute
Oh he's good. Definitely want him for a sidekick on any Indiana Jones worthy adventures. He's got the theme song covered!
Thanks very much for listening/commenting. We're trying to queue up a few more vids/songs as well.
Indeed....that little bird basically took off my eyebrows once. He's shredded earrings, even eaten a diamond off a pair I got for my birthday once....Crazy things cockatiels are, I wish I could have them, but for now my allergies permit me to only have 2 budgies and 2 starlings.
That's adorable! ♥
Omg!! Thts freakin adorable!!!!! awww!! So so cute!!!!! Lol!
My cockatiel loves this vid and Ava is a doll 😊
Mine wolf whistles everything he sees... Including the dog who now just ignores any form of whistle after repeated attempts at getting through the glass sliding door.
CUTE!!!!!!!
Thank you! Haven't had time to teach him new tunes but we have a few in mind that we're queuing up.
Super cute, super clever xx
the bird's name is Twinkie
What a cool bird!
Bullwhip* I meant lol sorry...
Lol Killerjosh89, totally makes sense now :) Thanks so much for watching!
this one is so SUPER AWESOME I want one too =]
This is too cute! Awwww
Thanks so much for watching Nicole! :)
i love this bird!
Wow I love this video I think I heard him sing the Adams family lol but everyone loves watching Indiana Jones lol I know I do :)
@pebbles1933 Thanks very much :) Yeah, for some reason, Twinkie has taken a liking to Ava. Whenever she gets near the cage, he serenades her.
Awesome my bird only knows one song Andy Griffith he is 18 plus years old I'm the third owner I love watching Twinkie and so does my bird pepper when I'm not home
Awww
Very cute.
My cockatiel only sings Mexican songs... I'm not even Mexican!! >__
LOL... Hmm, actually I'm curious to see what people want to hear. We have a couple songs queued up that we'll hopefully post shortly.
That's so awesome!!
Awesome! great job, Twinkie! (and owners of course hehe)
Hi Robert. Our cockatiel is a male. Easiest way to determine male/female is males typically have bright red/rosier cheeks (& they are usually a bit more vocal with their mimicking).
adorable little guy
videos like this make me wanna get a cockatiel just to see how many songs i can get him to sing :D
Lol, my tiel absolutely loves the andy griffith song and it's his favorite but he has yet to learn it properly. He tries his best but it always comes out as a mismatch of portions. It's so funny when he tries though. He's around 14 though so it could be becoming harder to learn new things like that. I got him when I was a small child so I wasn't really into the bird care and closeness thing.
I've got a hunch that you have the Pinball machines of both the Addams Family, as well as the Indiana Jones in your house??
