Need help with cockatiel! Will he ever start talking? He loves to listen to bird sounds. I even made him some sounds from my voice and different things to say. Everytime I put new toys in the cage for him he alway’s seems scared to go near them but after a few months he starts playing with them. Need help and or advice! Thank-you!

I had cockatiels and I loved them.first, get him to trust you. spend about an hour each day with your hand just sitting in the cage. don’t move it. let him know that it won’t hurt him. talk softly to him. he will get used to the toys but make sure you dont put to many in the cage. For the talking it takes a very verry long time but if you work hard enough saying it over and over again he will talk evintually. Trust first and the rest will follow. good luck with your bird!

If it has enough food and water, it’s probably lonely. Cockatiels are social birds.
Here are some ideas:
Talk to it more.
Move it into the room where you are.
Move it into the room where people eat. They like see people eat.
Take it out and play with it.
Let it fly around the room for a few minutes.
Get it another cockatiel to share the cage with.

These are my mom’s birds. The one with the yellow is Fiji and the grey one is Roselyn. Whenever you wave something in front of Fiji he starts to whistle or some kinda weird barking sound. EDIT: On 7/20/08 Fiji passed away.

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!
