My mom had a cockatiel named Buddy. He was almost entirely white besides his yellow head and rosy cheeks. I miss him so much
Did he used to mimic?
@@adilnizam2120 from what i can remember, yes. i was about 6 when he passed away of old age though
Omg my friends cockatiel was named buddy too. He passed away tho he had an issue with his cochlea had to be rushed to the er.
I miss cocky, I knew he died then that he flew out after 7 years of petting and loving attention....
Hey, do cockatiels change colour?
“Cockatiels are a species of parrot...”
Cockatiel: “Bow down before me, the king of lettuce!”
❤️🤣 I have been looking for this! It's the best thing I've seen all week!
Lettuce bow before the Lettuce king😭😭😭
@@kimicappiello5480 llllll no
@@coursenhoke2461 sad, lonely, bored or angry? Whatcha problem is?
Such silly things, I love them.
Note: they are also loud, always want attention, and have other special care instructions that make them more difficult to properly care for. I see too many people get birds and trap them in a cage. It hurts my heart. My tiel spends loads of time away from her cage.
They are smart creatures that require plenty of attention and stimulation. Treat them right or let somebody else do it.
I mean around 5 of my budgies are not tamed, and people say to let them out of the cage but also say not to chase them around. Plus we have a cat, I know, I know, it’s stupid to have a cat and birds but we will hopefully get a door so the cat can’t hurt them. Plus my brother used to smack him when he was near the cages, not insanely hard and abusive or anything, but I still wish he didn’t. But because of it the cat doesn’t really try to hurt them and just jumps on top of the cages to scare them (we have those decently tall rectangular birb cages). Pretty sure the cat only wants a high up place to sit and nap.
I hate that mine refuse to leave the cage cos I get a lot of heat from people who are like they arnt decoration and I’m like you don’t understand they have learned to attack my face so I put them back due to them starting an alergic reactsion in me
Our boys love their cage and always seem very relieved to return to it for some down time once they've had enough of being out. It's stressful for them to not be allowed their own safe space so it's a careful balance and depends on the nature of the birds as each and every cockatiel has its own very unique character, just like people.
I don't think they are loud compared to other birds. Budgies annoy me with their constant chatter. Other types of parrot are too loud. Cockatiels have times when they are quietly resting and times when they are vocal throughout the day. And girls are generally quieter than boys as well as being more even tempered.
One cockatiel will always be needy for attention from their humans. Giving them a friend for company makes for a much more relaxed and secure bird.
We had our cockatiel for more than 15 years now. His cage is always open at this point, because he knows the layout of our apartment and knows where not to go. So he just decides himself if he wants to be in the cage or outside. He doesn’t fly much anymore, probably due to his age. But he likes to sit on the roof of his cage and grind his beak 😇
yup mine are out of the cage all the time and cuddle and sleep with me they r sooooo sweet!!!
My cockatiels literally mimic each other's mating call. And now all 5 of them sing the same song over and over and over. As for my budgies, my cockatiel raised one of them from day one of their hatching. So now my budgie speaks like a cockatiel 😂
Actual game of "one of these things is not like the other" OR kids played too much Among Us and may up doing that 😅😅😅
Jk, thats adorable though
Rare budgietiel
I have seen one of these things on a balcony when I was on vacation over in Australia,
And it just keeps on saying peanuts and nuts
It wanted u to feed it lol
If I was there I could give them all my peanuts and nuts 🤧
Bruh, get the bird some nuts lol
What if it came up and said "let me get the aux cord" lmao
@@mr.google7364 🤨📸
I had one that lived 27 years…sweet birds. Bathe them
Birdie bath time is the best time.
Oh yes. Mine loved to accompany me in the shower 😂 birdie bath time was his favorite.
I’ve always wanted to get a bird can they be potty trained and how messy are they?
@@cjtelford1018 they poop roughly every 20 minutes and don't shed many feathers unless they're molting, in which case they can shed multiple feathers per minute.
@MajorGalah So do you
But the most important part:
Do not keep them alone! They are highly social animals and definitely need another cockatiel partner!
That’s true , if you have just one they take you as your partner and needs to stay all day with you .
What if work from home, and typically dont leave the house? Would it be fine having just the one?
I'm 13 and I go to school is that okay?
@@Bfdifan2010def not you need to get a pair for that matter because they're a very social parrot
What about another bird thats not a cockatiel?
Perfect description of cockatiels. Mine is a total prissy princess who gets very angry if she misses her daily scritch appointment, and even angrier if your scritches aren't good enough. I adore her ❤
I had a good boy named maverick. He was so full of personality. He died in my arms. I really loved that bird. I didn’t know how old he was when I got him. Apparently he was an old man. If you left your cereal for any reason he would be standing chest deep in milk picking cheerios out by the time you got back. He loved to be wherever I was and I really enjoyed his company. I miss his little songs he would whistle for me when I got up in the morning.
I had a tiel that jumped feet first in to a bowl of cereal before stealing a bite. Or any plate of food for that mater. He couldn't eat without sitting in the middle of the dish 🤦♀️
I had ( and still have ) one that always wanted to sit with me , and once , she jumped in my soup , another time she ate some pancake , and another time , i was eating a meatball , and she was sitting on my left shoulder , the TV was on myright side , i bit the meatball , my tiel tried to do the same , i sliiiiightly pushed her face back around 10mm and told her : Cockatiels don't eat meat! Then i turned my head right , then i wanted to get another bite and as i swung my head around , i saw her taking a bite .
As another maverick, can confirm if you leave cereal unattended around me I WILL be neck deep in your milk fishing for cheerios when you return.
Sorry for your loss. I believe they truly love us back.
Salute to the fallen. The cockatiel will be missed
I wish i could withdraw life force from politicians and give it to household animals
Lmao what.
@@rickylovesyou you heard him…
@@TheRatKingOwO he heard him
I wish animals could live as long as we do
@@rickylovesyou DID HE STUTTER
We had two. Lived to be 16 and 18. One was exactly like this. Affectionate, playful, and a loudmouth. The other was abused by the store. But we always showered affection and kindness on her. And she knew she was loved. Even if she was aloof. I miss them both.
They are amazing little creatures, but do require lots of time and effort!
Cockatiels are a giant parrot in a little body!! I have been owned by and raised parrots and other small psittisines for 35+ years. Cockatiels give you more bang for your buck, as these little pint size birds are large parrots stuck in a tiny body.
They are EXTREMELY social birds that bond strong to their human flock and can become an active part of your family.
The nice thing, is that they are so MUCH more quiet than the larger birds and do NOT make nearly the mess of the larger birds.
They are NOT the kind of bird that you buy to just sit in a cage and look at them. They require stimulation and attention from their owners.
PLEASE, do NOT take on an animal without doing your research. If you do not have the time for an animal, a bird is DEFINITELY not the solution, as birds require a great deal of love and attention and they are NOT happy to just sit in a cage and be looked at.
Firewater by design, that's a good description of cockatiels. I would add to that, that they are much more intelligent than people give them credit for. The male I had was explicit in indicating his taste for my food ("Birdie want some," when diving feet first into my fried eggs) or declining to leave his high window perch ("Be right back,), or wanting to come out of his cage in the morning ("Birdie want to come out"), and several other requests/demands, in addition to excellent renditions of several musical pieces. Gregarious and lovable, both.
Yes!
@@grovermartin6874 smart little man, probably got hand fed!
@@mikotheraskum2014 You're right! The guy that raised cockatiels was a plumber, kept them in a nesting box on top of his refrigerator and fed them every hour. He was a plumber, but devoted to his birds. And a great stamina, and tolerance for sleep deprivation, it appears.
You've been owned by??
no parrot is simple to care for. all parrots have very complex diets, you need to pay close attention to their behaviour, since like all birds they hide their illnesses and don't look ill for a newbie-keeper until they're very VERY sick. and you need to visit veterinarian ornithologist (fancy name for a vet for birds) several times a year and at least where i live that's not a common specialist.
p.s: there's more to it, but i don't want to write an essay on bird keeping.
p.p.s.: read the thread before leaving an answer and don't reason with me, i'm firm on my beliefs, hateful towards animal abusers, and this experience won't be pleasant for both of us.
I was looking tor this comment, I just hope people do their research and dont take this video to face value
@@merrygoround7557 well, i saw other videos of this guy about dog breeds and he tends to show everything in a good light. for example, he said jack russell terrier is a good family dog. which is not true. my neighbours have one and it's still a hunting dog, which needs heavy exercises and has a very strong bite, so much so, that if this dog bites a toy, you can lift the dog by the toy and walk with it around the house and the dog wont fall off. at least imo this is not what one would want nearby an infant.
I spent about a year studying everything about (Quaker) parrots & asking avian vets for the best information so I could ensure that my birds would get the best care. So many people think oh it’s easy throw your bird in a cage & feed it. Birds are very different from a cat or dog. Birds need so much more care & some of the smallest things kill them, like over heating a Teflon pan, burning candles, or using essential oil’s. Also birds need first-aid quickly because a small amount of blood lost is a major emergency for a small parrot! Just look up broken blood feathers it’s not something that can wait to be treated!
@@TigTig-Kitty the only thing i want to correct, if you throw a dog or a cat in a cage and just provide food, they'll be as miserable as a parrot. otherwise fully agreed. people see parrots as common pets, like turtles or hamsters, when they're actually exotic ones.
@@platannapipidae9621 my 13 year old JRT passed away almost 3 weeks ago and while, yes they are pretty hyper, in my experience they actually tend to be extremely loyal and smart dogs that can learn quickly that baby=human family member especially if acclimated correctly.
Dang, I miss my girl so much 😢!
My granny had a cockatiel when I was growing up. They found him on the driveway and he willingly came in. He got along with our dogs at the time and would sit on them, and he already knew a song we all took the time to learn. Sadly after our dog passed and we had gotten another a year later, that dog did not like the bird so instead of the whole house the bird could only fly around one room unless the dog was outside (she used to tear the screen doors open if left outside for too long). Funny thing about the cockatiel was that he hated males and would always attack my grandpa, granny claims it’s because grandpa would get a skillet and tell the bird to get in it lol
I remembered we got this Cocateil named Jimmy and sadly it died back in 2020 because it died of old age and he was such a good friend and I loved him a lot
My uncle Cockatiel: "if you come any closer you'll lose your fingers"
Me who just wanted to pet it: * scared as fuck *
You had an Uncle that was a cockatiel?
Please say the cockatiel was the one that warned you lol
@@MrThemarcusman Nah, I think OPs uncle was named Cockatiel
I’m sorry but that is actually a very cool memory to have!👍
Lol, they certainly can't do any damage to humans
I had a female cockatiel for five years and she loved being pet. She also loved sleeping at my pillow when I just lay in my bed and play with my phone or read a book. she would nibble on my fingers and nails and push my hands towards her crown for me to scratch it 🥹🥹 I miss her soo much 🥺 unfortunately she passed away after she caught an eye infection 😭
I'm sorry for your loss
Thank you @Sir Blue 🙏
I am sorry for you.
Kolloidalt silver cud have saved him.
Telling becorse it can help others.
cockatiels can live for 20 years. and parrots catch infections when their immunity is already compromised. so, they probably had several diseases, that you failed to notice.
Also they seem to have a very great taste in fashion. God they are so cute with their fancy hats! 😊
Best pets hands down. I have had about 8 cockatiels my entire lifetime and there all so sweet and affectionate
Me, who owns a cockatiel: "Friendly nature, eh?" *Continues to try to scratch his head* *him biting me*
We used to breed them. One pair were a nightmare from hell and they loved to nest in my room. Once I hear the chirping I know to cover myself with the bed sheets.
We have 2 cocktails. One is an angel the other one is bad she bites
Ik right.... And not petting/scratching leads to more biting and angry chirps 😂😂
I have a Cocatiel his name is max he is a white cockatiel with a yellow crest
I once owned a couple cockatiels and all they could do was screaming and bite me lol
"Cockatiels liked being touched"
Me who's trying to touch them but they keep running away from me 💀
They usually bond to one or 2 people (sometimes more). So if you’re a stranger, that’s probably why. My lil bud only let me and my parents pet him. Not even my other siblings could pet him.
@@aubzily2890 bruh I own my birds even if I was around them more 2 hours they still run away
@@SMG6- they probably just need to bond with you. Sometimes if all they have known is each other they will keep it exclusive unless you put in hard work to gain their trust. Research is your best friend (if you haven't tried that)
look up more information on how to gain a cockatiels trust and absolutely dont try to touch him if he runs away that might be the biggest reason he doesnt trust you. Always listen/look at your birds bodylanguage
You gotta make them trust you. Introduce yourself nicely to them, and sit near them until they feel kinda confortable. Just sit, dont come near them or anything. Then try to make a move, slowly.
They are so cute. And it's great that their general personality seems to fit the friendly and funny look they have.
i used to have one and he was so fun to train tbh, i really miss him
"The cockatiels need attention"
*Puts him in front of a mirror*
That will make him frustrated
@@brightstudio973 indeed and might get aggressive
GOODBYE HORSES
And you'd be happy to know that it is confirmed by the great Cdawgva that they make you feel badass when they sit on your shoulders
Nice.
🤣
As a cockatiel owner, i can confirm that. It does indeed feel as if you'd have an eagle on your shoulder.... Until it starts screaming in your ear.
Or when they become your crown
Until they inevitably poop on you 😄
They're ridiculously cute and loveable animals
My cockatiel was born in my home with his siblings. He has lived past 25 yrs old. He likes to talk to me in my face lol
I miss my childhood pal Petri, he was with me from age 4 to 19.....best pet ever. Best friend ever.
Was he named for Petri in Land Before Time?
@@shahnxaoc7749 I second this line of questioning
@@JacobSnyderTheBr0kenK0rpze33 i third this line of questioning
Did Petri come from Wilkes County, NC? I had to part with my darling bird and the age is right to have been him. I would so love to know he was happy and healthy with his new family. Ahhh the years roll back when you think about them and their huge personalities. Blessed Be.....
@@shahnxaoc7749 yes he was actually. It was my daily movie at age 3-4, when I got him on my 4 year birthday.
We had a male named SweetPea. My wife taught him to say “I’m a pretty bird” and I taught him to say “Feed the cat”.
Are you sure it was a cockatiel? From my knowledge cockatiels don't have the vocal cords to talk like big parrots do. They can just mimic the tone and cadence and rhythm.
@@YoungDymisty it's still understandable sometimes, bcs you change intonation and rhythm while talking
@@moss_soft Yeah definitely. I wish mine wasn't so stubborn and naughty though 😂. I just feel bad that he has cataracts in one eye though he's learning to adjust now but is still clumsy sometimes.
@@YoungDymisty poor baby
@@moss_soft Thank you 🥰 x
I cannot imagine my life without them 💛
I had one growing up. He whistled songs and talked. He would sit on my shoulder when I walked through the house. He lived 26 years.
I loved the one my family used to have. We taught him most of the Adam's family song and he would say "pretty bird" right back at you. Sleep well Mo Bird, I'll always love you
I loved my Rocky❣️RIP 😔 He not only mimicked sounds, he talked!! After he passed, I was gifted a female. She was mean & didn’t mimic anything or talk. If you can get a male at a young age, they will love you, HE WAS AMAZING ❤️~Michelle, CA ☀️
Rip, what a wonderful pet
Its kinda why my uncle only choose to get me one once a new one would be born in his collection
So true... (in my opinion) these little fuzzballs are the most loveable and enjoyable animals on this planet.
Our family owns a cockatiel named Benji. He’s coming on 27. Spends a lot of time these days sleeping. He adores Mum and only really becomes talkative when he wants scritches.
My friend owns one the bird is so sweet
Your Friend is sweet?
I have two now. :) And I've had multiple throughout my life.
One is a Petsmart boy who was super undersocialized when I got him. The other was a little cinnamon female bought from a pet store that specifically buys local birds as babies from trusted breeders. He's a handful and likes to scream on occasion, but he's come such a long way, and my little girl is a mama's girl and loves to cuddle.
I couldn't have asked for better feather babies. ❤
I've been a Cockatiel mom since 1995 & have loved every minute of it with them in my life. Right now I have 3, ages 23 & 2 are 16, all male. But I have had females too. Have had them since they were in their eggs. The hardest part of having them is when it's time for them to cross the rainbow bridge 😭. They are very social birds. If they are tame, they want you to be a part of their flock. If they see you eat, they want to eat with you. (But don't share your food with them because there are foods we can eat that's toxic to them). There are tons of Cockatiel websites that will explain what's good & bad for them. If they aren't tame, patience, time & parrots websites can also help you with taming & even training them. Finding books in bookstores can help. When I first became a bird mom, I didn't have internet on a phone to do any searching. Btw, my bird's names are Stormy (his mate was Sunshine), Junior, & Bear (his mate was Snuggles). Junior never had a mate. He was too interested in hanging out with me. 🤣 Junior's mom passed away in 2014 & I had her cremated. She's sitting on my dresser next to my bird cages. She's the only one I've had cremated. Didn't have the money to get the other ones cremated when they passed. But I am definitely cremating Junior when it's his turn. He is so attached to me. And when it's my turn, I'm having Junior & his mom be put in my casket with me in their little boxes. I never could have kids ( had a miscarriage when I was married in 1984 & was never able to get pregnant again. So my birds are my feathered children. ❤🐥🐥🐥❤
Sigh. I miss my boy. Cockatiels are one of the best birds to own 💙
My uncle had 2 cockatiels and one died at around 20 years old, but the other died at like 34 years old, my uncle had him since he he himself had been a child
That must’ve been a really hard loss, hope he’s alright though.
@@mir0h2714 oh don't worry he's fine, he has another bird to keep him company now
In my experience male cockatiels tend to have a more pronounced personality.
i have two hens and they have their personalities too :) i guess it's easier to tell with roos because they act a bit showoffishly so it's easier to know what they mean when they're trying to communicaye
I had a girl one, oh my god was she annoying, she just pooped everywhere and tried to jump from high places around the house and she almost always hurted herself, she also screamed really loud 24/7 no need to explain why we put her up to adoption, she hated us for no reason.
@@Gritt_1 sounded like she needed more attention, sad to hear that you opted to put her up for adoption simply for being too “annoying”
@@JayTheProduct yeah and maybe she was in an "adoption-loop" I hope they didn't get her from someone who put her up for adoption because they couldn't handle her. And I sincerely hope that the next person to take her will work through it and not just rehome her again.
Greatest pet birds! My cockatiel is 18 yrs old. I had another that lived to be 28 yrs old. Have had quite a few thru the yrs & they all lived a pretty long time. I love them!
My cocktail is always happy and isn't always in his cage he makes sounds when he eats its cute xx
I have one! His name is Miles, and he's very musical, loves humming little patterns and tunes. It's so adorable. But he actually doesn't really like to be touched all that much, we can pet him and all that but he usually just moves away and does his own thing. That's fine though, we just vibe.
you must have at least two. they are as social as humans.
Oh miles? From ugly love?
Yeah they are so moody, only let me touch him when he's not in his hunting mode
My little guy is 19 years old and I can't imagine my life without him
My baby boy just turned 21 this August. Love you, Bongo!
My grandmother has one of these and he’s lived well into his thirties, probably one of the oldest ones alive!
My Jackie was so loving and he lived to be 26. I miss him so much!
"They are known for their friendly nature."
Forget that. I'm still scarred by the time my friend's cockatiel dive bombed me multiple times when they took him out the cage! 😱
I swear, it was like he could smell the cat on me!
I have cockatiels and they can't smell shit, a lot of birds cannot smell very well. They rely more on visual and audio stimulus.
Birds have a terrible sense of smell, just FYI.
Maybe your friend's cockatiel was overprotective of something or someone.
they are as social as humans, their diet in nature is even more diverse than human one and a newbie keeper can't really say if they're ill or not. so, imagine what would a combo of complete isolation, poor diet, mainly composed of porridge, and chronic pain do to a human. that what most of the parrots experience. by the way, parakeets can easily live to 20 years (record being 36 ears) and they live 5 years on average.
Yikes, Love the pfp!
Me and my mum used to have around 30 cockatiels, we loved them all so much ❤️
Zaire loved to sing, shower, and dance. What your doing they think they need to be doing. Fun companion.😊
My granny has one named George, he can whistle dixie, call the dogs, and some more stuff that he hasn't done since my Grandad died
I'm sorry to hear
I'm sorry for both your losses. He seems to be mourning as well
I had a cockatiel that learned how to say pretty bird and he would say it every time I girl walked by.
That cockatiel was savage
@@jgsgamergfdgfdgfd1137 yes he was lol
Our old male rescues passed at 20 years old, we just recently took in a 6 month old female ❤
I rescued a male cockateil when I was around 12-13 yrs old. The previous owner had teached it this specific melody, it was the only thing it could "sing"... It lived in the house with me, but after about a week I went absolutely mad in the head. So I moved him outside in the big aviary with our other birds. Problem was now, that the big aviary was right next to our terrace, so the summers where real fun 😂😂😂
He was a cheeky bird and we loved him, but my good he could drive us absolutely mad with that stupid melody. I'm 28 now and CAN STILL REMEMBER IT! 😂😂
my cocktail just passed away, but i was blessed enough to know that they are some of the most affectionate, loyal animals a human could hope to interact with
I think that the males being more vocal would make a lot of sense! In the wild (or even just in general) they would probably have to put on a show including vocals to attract a mate
I used to call them "Pikachu birds" because I was obsessed with Pokemon and they have the same red cheek circles.
I was crushed to learn they can't make thunderbolts.
It's important to take care if these creatures. They depend on us. We can't leave them by themselves. They would not only die starving, but also feel sadness. That would be unacceptable.
I had a cockatiel that I found underneath my ac unit, poor thing was hiding underneath for three days and would always chirp and sing until we finally found him. He lived with us for three more years and would love when my mum had music playing and sing along, one afternoon my dad was washing his cage outside with him. He loved getting sprayed with light mist from the hose he managed to open the door to his big cage jump to the floor and flew off.
I used to have these as a kid… 100% accurate. They are such great pets. I want to have my own house to get one again
Cockatiels ate the best!!!love them
The first one looked like a leaf of Brussel sprout ngl 😂💀
I did not expect them to live for up to 20 years!
Their much larger cousins, the black cockatoo, have been known to live for up to 135 years!! Sadly there aren't many left these days.
@@davespanksalot8413 how did you know they're cousins?

Awwwww. I miss my cockatiel. She accidentally got outside and flew away a couple months ago. She was the sweetest of my birds.
“They might like they’re cheeks rubbed" ayo
Cockatiels often like to be touched
Used to have one named Snuggles, he only lived about 10-12 years, he was my best little buddy and my mom taught him a cheery little whistle that I still remember to this day, I'm not sure where it's from. I miss him alot 💙 Rip buddy
They're very cute..
So cute ☺️
Thank you so much!! ❤️
Thank you! Can you pls do capybara next?
Two in the family, kiki lived to 23, Harley is still alive at 17, best birds !
Our cockatiel spent a week at a family friend's house 10+ years ago and decided that their washing machine noise which is a series of ear-splitting high-pitched consecutive beeps is one his favourite noises to copy to this day. He also came to my dad while he was in the backyard gardening, landing at his feet and letting himself be guided into a cage, making us think he was an escaped pet. We never found his original owners despite putting him up on Facebook, but he told us his name was Rocky, because his other things he says are "Hello Rocky" and "Pretty bird". He's scared of hands, but loves being face to face with humans through his cage.
Imagine lil bro says “brrrrrrrrrrrrr” when no one at home except your wife 💀
Lmao
now i want 2;-; they are soo cute!! Can’t stop loving them!
Btw ,they don't really like to be transported long distances. We tried to send 3 of them from romania to germany ,and also back way ,well they did not survive sorely the road..
@@lonewolf1300 bruh why
@@ls200076 why we do want to transport them? Well some family members live there ,and they build a house in romania ,so they meant to send them here earlier. Why did they die? I don't know ,maybe the transportation ,or pressure changes

Love my cockatiels 🦜

That's a long lifespan. Now I don't have to cry every 10 years
You will eventually.😢😭😭😭
My Nana's cockatiel lived to be 25. I was with her the day she bought him as a hatchling. She brought him home before my hubby and I married and he passed away shortly before our 26th wedding anniversary ❤️ Sammy was a wonderful pet and a big part of our family.
You need to be super caring while having this bird as pets...
"They're known for their friendly nature"
I've been bitten by three of these guys before lmao They like to go for the eyes 😬
Oh don't worry about it. Some of them go for the eyes but that's not typical most of them go for your hands or your feet. Birds love to be little toe sharks
For some reason I'm always shocked to hear how long some animals can live having only had dogs who hit middle age at 7.
Birds have ridiculously long lifespans. Macaws and African Grays can live 70-80 years, I've heard. And hell, then you have tortoises that can live even longer. It's wild.
I have a pet cockatiel and he literally does anything for me to scratch his neck, when he didn’t know how to fly and fell while trying to come to me to scratch his neck
My granny used to call her cockatiel a “Talk-a-tiel”!
"Cockatiels often like to be touched"
Me: So do I.
“They might like their cheeks rubbed” looks like we got sm in common 🥴😏
🤣
That dance made my day🥲
I miss the cockatiel my grandma had, he was so friendly and loving
Not trying to have a pet that lasts longer than my relationships.
Love your daily content!!
We had a cockatiel for just over a decade. He'd have lived longer, but he was very, very attached to my husband; when my husband went into the hospital for several weeks, our bird pined away. He lasted until his favourite human was home from the hospital, passing away the following day.
This reminds me of Sunny, my canary when I was little, that I use to let out of his cage to have the freedom to fly around. One day, I could not find him and overtime, I found him stuck in the bottom of a vase. Dead. 😢
