Cockatiel Training - Talking Cockatiels

http://talkingcockatiels.blogspot.com/2009/10/cockatiel-training.html

My training was always simple. praise. Most of my birds just ignored the clicker and didn't want to do anything but eat if I trained for treats. They were just stressed and focusing on the food when I trained with treats. Remember that cockatiels love to play with you (after all, you're a big part of their flock,) so if they're fed, they will love the interaction. it's better than sitting a stupid cage by themselves and knocking on a bell again. It will sound like they've been doing this all day. If you'...

Cockatiel Snacks - Talking Cockatiels

http://talkingcockatiels.blogspot.com/2009/12/cockatiel-snacks.html

As long as your cockatiel is on a healthy pellet/seed mix type of diet that your breeder or avian vet recommends, you should feel free to introduce healthy snacks to your pet (and not the Cheese Curls my Walter got into when he was a curious little clucker - he loved them and to this day, still tries to go for my bag, but I definitely do NOT think these should be given to birds). Corn, sweet potato, beets and tops, endive, celery, carrots, lettuce. Fruits are good, including dried fruits on occasion.

Baby Birdies - Talking Cockatiels

http://talkingcockatiels.blogspot.com/2009/10/baby-birdies.html

So, Cockatiels start out cute enough as little aliens screaming for their dinner. Learning to perch and hang as a flock. Then you realize they are actually re-enacting a scene from their favorite movie, Alfred Hitchcock's, The Birds. At least Tippi Hedren was paid for her performance. If you made a decision to raise a clutch or two on your own (or maybe your lovely birdie couple made that decision for you) and are suddenly hit with the realization that you need to wean and feed them, check out this video.

Where to Get a Cockatiel - Talking Cockatiels

http://talkingcockatiels.blogspot.com/2009/10/where-to-get-cockatiel.html

Where to Get a Cockatiel. If you haven't bought a cockatiel yet but are still doing research and are still wondering where to get a cockatiel. Take a look at this video. She covers the basics thoroughly with one exception. Ruth Hanessian mentions that the big-time whistlers and vocalists are always males and that is not true. I had a female cockatiel that was a serious chatterbox as a baby chick. For the most part, she was the exception to the rule but did in fact, lay eggs to prove me right. An advantag...

Cockatiel Behavior - Talking Cockatiels

http://talkingcockatiels.blogspot.com/2009/10/cockatiel-behavior.html

The Eagle, Batman, Dracula. cockatiels love to spread their wings. They will imitate any sound in their surroundings. a dog barking, a siren, your throat swallowing sound as you take a drink. Then they learn to talk and especially love to whistle songs. There is something about their nature that they love to connect with our "whistles" or songs and can develop quite the karaoke catalog after a while. and when the song is over, they will keep going - improvising on what they just sang. If you have just on...

Sick Birds - Talking Cockatiels

http://talkingcockatiels.blogspot.com/2009/11/sick-birds.html

What follows here are suggestions and hints to get your bird through injury or illness but I am not a professional. I have over 15 years of experience raising clutches of cockatiels but that's no substitute for professional care, so. If your bird suffers an injury or is sitting on the bottom of the cage, can't perch or is feeling listless - just not acting right - take them to the vet. Take them to the vet. I don't care how much human behavior your birds mimics, your bird is not human. I use Gallerstein'...
