If you want to train and tame a cockatiel, you need to spend some quality time with your bird. Treat him gently and with respect, do not push things by force. You can not gain his trust by using force!

Do You have tamed Cockatiel? 🐦🐦
I dont have but a tamed lovebird
No i have tame a budgie and my budgie have unique colour
Bro Alan axp thx for Finley making this video I bin waiting so long I have a cocktail since 2019 it's not tames it but me so hard ones I started bleeding I need advice how to tame
idont have but tame alexender prrots and budgis
Yes I do I brought a new one The new one is blind in one eye and she walks backward So how can I train her she is scared all the time My other cockatiel she best friend to me so it was simple for me to train her What can I do to the blind one
I feel bad seeing the other cockateil left alone at the pet store 😕
For some reason that bothered me as well. I felt the fear of the birb he left behind. Unfortunately that's the nature of the pet business. In an ideal world we would adopt pets instead of buying them all from pet shoppes when they are young, but sadly it's not realistic to adopt 100% of the time. Either way, I wish that other cockatiel a happy home!
He would get another friend later, and they were probably not together for a long time as they look young and birds get sold quickly
Same it was her friend i guess
Me too!!😭😭😭
Same here.
I'll never forget the day I got my Khepri. He was sitting all alone in the store, looking so incredibly sickly, with a sign that said "Untamed cockatiel, $180". He had a HUGE bald patch on the back of his head. The worker there told me that he had been sitting there in that small cage for a month, or more. I took him home with me on the bus that day. I let him out, and he hopped merrily on the top of his cage. He watched me for a long time, not moving. I had his cage on the floor next to my desk, and sat next to him so he would be familiar with me. What absolutely stunned me though was that when I was falling asleep sitting there, I felt a nibble on my sleeve, and looked down to him crawling up my arm and onto my shoulder. He fell asleep with me, and he's been my absolute closest buddy ever since. He is honestly the most gentle, sweet tiel I've ever known. I'm so lucky everyone passed him by, and that I got to take him into my life. His bald patch is non existent, and he's gotten to be a fat birb with beautiful, super soft feathers. Here are some before and after photos for anyone who wants to see him!! Before: ibb.co/qs9dNDg After: ibb.co/GT82pf6
Awe meant to be!
Wow $180. Here in Pennsylvania USA they want $450 untamed
That's an amazing birb bless you both💖🤗
Then they replaced him with another and another and another... all because people like you pay them to abuse Birds for profit.
@@-opus They actually went out of business and closed down, but thanks for your unnecessarily rude assumptions :)
“always be gentle to all birds” *progressively yeets budgie out the way 💀*
Bruh i would too my friend
The fact you were able to hold the cockatiel without it screaming and biting and trying to get out makes me think it was more tame than you like us to believe.
Yeah an untamed cockatiel wont even let it get near you. This was definitely a bird tamed when it was young
it is quieter because it is female
@@Angelo-lm7bl i have a female cockatiel. And while they are quite they show signs of agression like biting and opening wings.
Yeah true, aviary cocktiels do not allow you to get near them AT ALL.
@@Angelo-lm7blquieter doesn't mean tame, this one is tame. And while males are louder, they are actually the more passive of the sexes.
I have a female cockatiel, store bought. Her friend (whom we initially planned to buy) had been sold. I didn’t realise this until we got there. Then we saw her. She was alone, distancing herself from everyone. She looked so unhappy. So we bought her. It was a long drive home, but once we got back, we gave her some personal space, left her with some food and water, and went along with our days. The next day, I gently tried talking with her. She wasn’t too comfortable with it initially, but eventually, she got closer. I continued this for awhile, eventually she felt happy stepping on my hands. And as of now, she’s really comfortable around me. She’ll fly onto my head, she’ll try eat my food when I’m not looking, she’ll fall asleep on my leg, and much more. All of this happened within a couple of months, it’s nearly been a year since we got her. To new bird owners, trust takes patience, but once you get it, it’s incredibly rewarding.
adorable
Thanks
thank you for trying to do the right thing by both & for still doing what you could for the one that was likely to go down a path of severe emotional problems had you not helped her so quickly. This video breaks my heart seeing that bird left behind so distressed!
Awww we saw 2 cockatiels at the shop when we went. Both hens. When the worker was getting the one from the cage, both tiels were huddled together. My daughter said they were bffs and couldn't separate them. So we brought them both home :) In our experience, one took much less time to trust us and get on our finger and be comfortable and let us give head stritches and snuggles. The other is more nervous. Even now a year later. But she has let us give head stitches just a few weeks back. We love her as she is even if she us a little more introverted and likes time to herself more than anything. So don't expect every bird will be the same. They are individuals with their own personalities. But all sweethearts. Anyway, great video.
Your daughter is very wise and you were wise to listen. I’m so happy you both listened to your hearts and brought both of the birds home with you. It would be wonderful if everyone would take the time to study animal behavior and consider their relationship with their fellow animal peers before buying them.
You and your daughter are walking miracles. Thank you for what yall did......
They are Birds, they are meant to be free, they are not entertainment for you. Your feelgood story ignores that fact that these Birds are caged in pet stores and then in peoples homes, as if their lives mean nothing.
@@-opus I'm not sure why you are in a video about taming cockatiels if this is how you feel. I could go on and explain how our tiels are not play things for us, as none should be, but how They are part of our family, even having their own plates so they can sit at the table with us and chow on their favorite veggies and how they have many perches around our home but I'm assuming it would just be a waste of time. So all I can advice is please Stay away from videos that will only upset you. I'm sure you'll be happier that way. And I honestly hope you have a good day.
@@mayrarivor3988 your 'ignorance is bliss' mindset is hardly surprising.
thank you for giving him a good home! seeing birds in pet stores and how they're treated always breaks my heart, they're so small and full of love but people are so mean 😭 I hope your flock stays happy and healthy 💜
the only reason they are in the pet store in the first place, is because people buy them, you are thanking the person who is responsible for their suffering.
@@-opus exactly! Especially when he took one & left the other alone & hysterical as it's friend was taken from it!
@@-opus in cockatiels cases, not really, a lot of animals prey on them on their natural habitat, if not humans, cockatiels probably wouldn't exist by now
I just love how the budgies don't care😂 They just do their thing, totally carefree and natural.
Aww your cockatiels are so adorable! I've had mine for a year, and he's still afraid of me.
Did u ever try to tame him
He just might be un tame able
@@TheEditor579 Yes, he was completely wild when I got him, and he's semi tamed now, but he's still scared of my hands.
Hm try to do the 5 minutes trick put your hand on his perch and wait for five minutes everyday u will see he will get used to your hands
mine is the same but angey.
3:30 i just LOVE the yellow cockatiel face expression when given the millet
Bro got so happy he turned Asian
this video is good as it tells you how to train a cockatiel , bigger birds will take longer but like he says time and patience and a lot of love and you will get there in the end
They were always so cute to me with their cheeks like Pikachu 🥰
Big fan I like the way the budgie and cockatiel were together
There is something truly beautiful about gaining the trust of another creature. It takes a pretty special kind of person to be able to do it since most simply cant or try to force it.
It's amazing how much they calm down just after the first couple of weeks when you don't handle them. Birds have been on this planet for so long and deserve the respect of humans. They are intelligent and compassionate animals.
I used to visit an African grey once to twice a week at a local pet land and he became so social he got adopted by a fantastic family . I’m still so happy for that little stinker
I took in one of my relatives severely neglected cockatiel who was apparently too vicious to touch. He spent his whole life in a cage (7yrs) and never learned how to fly. Please to anyone who sees this, encourage others not to get a bird if they aren't willing to spend time on it!
and don't buy from pet shops & especially don't buy one & leave it's friend behind. There's plenty of birds out there looking for good homes! I too have a bird that came with a glove for changing his food & water, cause I was told that was the only way it could be done without being covered in wounds. He's a gorgous bird, so sweet & loving & desperate to try to please. He couldn't fly properly either, but would try. I trained him to control his landings, flying perch to perch, then when I had them outside, he saw the chance & took off, flew to the top of a tree & then realised he was scared of heights & stuck lol. Eventually, over 2 days, he was able to climb back down & I could get him back & he's never taken off again since, he's decided I'm different to his former owner & he likes life with me & in the same cage as the girl he used to live in the same home as, but in separate cages. He's still got lots of emotional issues, due to his abuse history, which is really sad, cause he really wants to be a good bird & tries so hard & he never bites me (or at least not without warnings & lots of attempts to resolve in other ways first). He's a real sweetie!
When i got my cockatiel he was in an empty cage, 2 dowel perches, food bowl and water bowl. Poor thing was almost always at the same spot, alarmed at every little sound. I bought him and now he's doing better than ever! He's such an energetic ball of fun, always chirping, with a bigger cage an lots of toys.
That cockatiel is so adroable, keep up the good work!
what a sweet video! You are so gentle and patient.
Just stumbled upon your channel. It’s amazing g how much you care for them and respect them. Consider me a new subscriber.
Nice video, reminded me of my much missed pure white tiel. I'd like to add that similar to many pets, a cockatiel is an intelligent soul with a potentially long life. Be prepared for the commitment that is required and enjoy the journey!
You have the exact and I tell you, the exact same gaming chair!!! They are so comfy and soft. I aint fan of leather once so bought this one also in the same green colour! Awesome!
Good Job. I have been around birds all my life. We had a pet shop that spread out to 8 stores in St Louis, Missouri He set one up in St Charles and my husband and I handtamed Macaws for him This was when they were allowing them to come in the country. They don't do that anymore. I love that you are genuine and take the time. I just got 4 parakeets over a couple months. Tweety (all yellow) was my hardest to tame. Just in the past couple days she has finally quit biting. I may add a cockatiel when I get my aviry built next year.
How do you make them not bite?
Awesome video, love your pet room! I bought a teenage cockatiel bird yesterday, I’ll start taming him in 2 weeks 😁 using your method ❤
I am go te get my first to aaa can not wait 🤠
Love it, always be gentle to birds then flicks one of off his hand.
Yesterday bought cockatiel in pet store. (She was so sad, give no sounds, sit still and shivering). In the evening she began to sqweeck and eat/drink. And here your video. Just in time. Thank you!
I’m a big fan of your KZhead channel keep up the good work
This was so encouraging to watch. I'll use these tips for an untamed, terrified budgie.
OMG he is so cute. We have alot of budgies and cockatiels. So cute.
Wow beautiful 😍❤️ birds
I just bought a cockatiel ❤️ I get him or her in 3-4 weeks! Can’t wait!!!
Makes total sense to 1) separate a pair 2) hold the friggin box like it's about to bite you, apparently don't worry about dropping the live bird in it 3) after #2 buckling the box into a car seat. Do you care about the bird or not my guy?
He cares about attention, the bird is a prop for his youtube channel.
I got mine almost a year ago. She was returned from another family and was angry and was hissing all the time. I felt so bad. They said she was hard to bond with but with time she learned to trust us and has flown to us and gives the gentlest attacks if we don’t give her something she can’t have 😂😂 they’re like her way of having a fit. But she cuddles us🥰🥰 I love her so much and can’t imagine life without her. We can’t pet her still but she’ll preen us😂😂
His coktaial ❤ Vs My coktail be like ima kill u😂
Nice birds room 😊❤❤❤
I taught a single cockatiel with tiny seeds on my lips to kiss me to tame her. I had her for 17 years; until our lovebird pair had 6 babies! My cockatiel started laying eggs and I lost her because she was too old to lay.
Cuteness overload
Beautifully done 💕
I’m a fan of your page. But honestly, I felt so bad about this video. Both cocktails in the store looked like that they are bonded and friends. And now they are separated 😭. He was sad and terrified that his friend was taken from him. And he kept calling his friend while she was put in the box 😢. Is there a way that they can re-unite again?! 🥺🥺🥺
Very true. Even I felt the same way. If possible, always buy in pairs, the bonded ones. I always buy my budgies in pairs as they are. It's difficult for a baby to be alone in a totally new environment, after being separated even with his/her friends.
Also, the one that is left may go to a home that has zero other birds. Solitary life like jail. These birds live in large flocks normally, not alone!
@@kinalteam2075 not necessarily unless you bond with the bird every day
@@Hbdjk552 in life, when real life and work and chores get in the way, chances of that are nil to none. Sleeping alone 12 hrs every night is already different experience than safety of a flock. We just want to feel better as humans so we say things like ur message, but reality is different. Lone birds usually lose on a deal like this. Except for lucky few, perhaps yours.
@@kinalteam2075 exactly! They've actaully done studies on this & found solitary birds age much faster than ones living with a companion of the same species, even on a genetic level! The genetic aging markers was universal across EVERY bird studied, regardless of what sort of bond they had with their owner! This video devistated me too, watching that distraught bird left behind as it's friend was abducted
I feel bad for the other cockatiel, maybe they were friends ): It looked panicked when the oet store owner grabbed the other
Nah it was just panicked because a big ass hand reached into it's "home" and it had no where to flee towards.
@@Nox_Eternis you really didn't pay any attention at all did you! It was after the hand was OUT of the cage & it was alone that it became really distressed, cause it's bonded friend was being abducted & it couldn't save it
Looks like such a fun place to live with all the pretty birds ❤️
The bird whisperer😂
My 2 cents are: The birds cage is its safe space. Only go into the cage if you absolutely needs to. My lovebird loves this because she knows she wont get disturbed when she is in her "bedroom"
I picked up a cockatiel from a store that wasnt even a petstore. I wasnt actually around when she was being bought so i had no idea it was abusive. She seemed unhealthy and scared, and i tried to tame her but couldnt. Thank you for this video!!! I’ll have to try this!
I love Cockatiels all birdies, like mini dinosours.
early🥰 love your vids and birds 🥰
That was an amazing intro-
I near lost it when you were kissing the other cockatiel and you looked up at him and he looked then looked away 😂😂😂😂😂like you can’t catch me with that ish … no matter how nice it look 😂😂😂😂
I like ur car lol I just saw the car rewind and play
that was a great video! keep up the good work 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
2:10 "Aww how cute. Get out of the way, you! Aww how cute."
Did you put your new bird in quarantine or did you let it be near your other birds? The cage it's in is too small.
All cages are too small, birds are meant to be free.
After years mine still hate being touched, but was able to get him to jump to my shoulder and listen.
My flex is that I did a whole lot of research before getting my first bird, which was a cockatiel. I did all these steps and in just a month he would be flying to my siblings and my shoulders and getting ready for scratches haha 🥰
I once had a cockatiel who would sit on top of my dog. He walked around the house. He was a sweetheart. ❤I miss Gordon.
Here's a tip: start taming/training the bird as soon as you get it home....in it's confused/exited state it's much more receptive to being handled....also, if you wait 2 or three weeks to let it 'settle' you will have lost valuable time because the bird is now claiming it's cage as their territory and will show much more agression towards you... Cockatiels are just about the easiest birds to tame/train, and some methods work better than others. Never met a 'mean' cockatiel.
Excellent video!
He looks very innocent
Budgies; “Claw is out master, Claw chooses who will go and who will stay!”
Thank you for making this
Thank you for this video,I have been making real progress with my cockateil and only got her a week ago.She will take millet if I hold it in my hand,I am just letting her get used to taking millet while I hold it before I try to get her to perch while it is in my hand as you do in the video.
Mashallah, beautiful birds.
Hethal Solanki. Completely agree. Their relationships are as real as ours and their intense distress was unmistakable. It used to be said about budgies, just get one, so as the poor bird will focus all its attention on yourself. Still people are not asking why that should be. Unbelievable.
I just stumbled on this video. It was recommended. Adorable birds. Great advise. I'm surprised petstore bird was so tame. I used to work in petstores and birds were anything but tame unless hand raised or worked with. Yes I have a tame 20 yr old I got as a hand fed baby. I prefer rescue then petstores.
It's a really nice Cockatiel:))
Love you man but still hate that you left the other cockatiel. Please 🙏 get him.
When i bought my first cockatiel 1 year ago, it was on an pet store next to my school. There was 2 of them, an male and a female. Both with the "wild" feather colors. I bought the male one and I named him "Tutu" (nickname for Arthur). the female cockatiel screamed in despair. Fortunately, my mother returned days later and bought the female cockatiel and we named her Charlotte. She had a happy life with her lover, but unfortunately she ran away a few months later and we never saw her again. fly high charlotte...
you have a good heart! kudos
Great video. I need a cockatiel pet very badly! Thanks!
This guy is a master of taming birds
Yet he's doing it wrong. He's trying to hand-feed the bird while the bird still sees his hand as a threat. You need to make the bird get used to your hand first before trying that. He caused a lot of unnecessary stress trying to hand-feed while the bird was still fearing his hand. In fact throughout this entire video the bird was still showing a lot of stress and fear for his hand. You can help them overcome fear for your hand by gently introducing your hand inside the cage and holding it still and gradually building it up from there (moving hand, sitting on your hand inside cage). This video entirely skipped that crucial step. I also think it's a bad idea to introduce the bird to other birds outside the cage that quickly. The bird needs to adapt to the cage first and feel safe in it before you introduce it to the outside of the cage and other birds. You can see the bird is not very keen to re-enter the cage at the end of video. That's a tell--tale sign the bird is not seeing his cage as a safe space. Not to mention at the end of the video the bird is still showing a lot of signs of very high stress-levels (high fear level). Imho he's a total amateur and has no clue what he's doing when it comes to taming birds.
Love my new cockatiel thanks very much for the video
Thank you so much it worked on my cockatiel and my budgie
We had one when I was growing up, he was a grumpy little bastard but he never turned down getting water or food. He just let you know when he was in a bad mood lol.
That was so nice!
Cute little things 💕
How cute
Step 1. Reconsider getting a cockatiel from a pet store. Ahahah, in all seriousness though. We're thinking of getting one sometime in the future, this vid will definitely help. Thank you
I am Bangladeshi 🇧🇩 And I love You're video
I don't know why this made me cry. That bond is beautiful. Can't wait to bring my baby home❤
Beautiful video. Thank you ❤❤🐥🐥🐥🐥🥰🥰🥰🐤
I had a cocktail before and trust me you have to go buy the other one. Once I bought a cocktail and left the other one. After two days I noticed it was really depressed but it was aldready late that one died. Earlier today I got another one but in a pair… they are so cute
Thank you so adorable
Wait.. Do you get the bird out of the cage before he can sit in your hand? Mine is still little scared of me, lately she allows me to come close with my hands etc but not to touch her. If I open the cage and allow her to fly in the house that would be good or I'll have a problem putting her back to cage?
That pour birb. The way they grabbed them there.
Not sure if its still a thing. But back when I started looking after budgies. I was told to throw a cover over the cage for a day or two as it would help the bird feel safer, less stressed out in a new environment as well as give it the opportunity to get used to the smells and sounds going on around it
damn u make it look so easy, my cocktail has mastered the art of twisting while biting my finger to make it even more painful
Thanks for sharing
Wonderful sharing
just lost my 3 yrs old budgie, it really hurts. 😭
I'm sorry to hear this. 😢
Nice car you got!!
The cockatiel has a nice crown
Cute❤❤
I bought my cockatiel at a pet store and I still have him 5 years later ☺️
What is the name of the food you fed the bird in the video?
5:00 cocktails 🍹 😂
It also looks like a mom and pop store where the birds are interacted with more instead of Petco or Petsmart where their stuck in a dirty plexiglass prison where nobody messes with them.
Lmao, “always be gentle to all birds” as he flicks a bird away…
Awesome video 👍
ALEN?! WHERE DID YOU GET THAT “RISE ABOVE” BUDGIE SHIRT?!?! I MUST HAVE IT! Also, many thanks for sharing yet again.
