Question by BoBa QuEeN: Cockatiel Birds?
Hey everyone thanks for taking the time to read my question. I am thinking of buying a Cockatiel Bird when I move. I have had some birds in the past,but they were mean and bit. I want a bird that LOVES,LOVES, LOVES humans that I can hold all the time and does not bite. Can any one give me advice on a bird? I have heard that Cockatiel birds love human attention and are pretty nice.

You will want a cockatiel that has been hand raised. That makes a HUGE difference.
I have 2 cockatiels. The first one I got I paid about $ 100 (he’s pied) and he was hand raised. Sweet sweet boy, he loved to sit on my shoulder and nibble on the wing of my glasses. He would ride around on my shoulder and was just a neat boy. We had him for about 3 years and I decided he needed a mate. I bought a female for him but she had not been hand raised. She is not a mean bird but she doesn’t like to be touched at all. She will watch me and raise her foot at me, almost like she would like to get on my finger but if I offer her my hand she moves away very quickly.
Now that the two of them are together he doesn’t like to be handled. I’ve had him about 8 years and her for about 6 years.
Remember that if you have a ceiling fan or wood stove you need to make sure you take certain precautions before letting your birds out.
Good luck and Goddess Bless!
