I absolutely love Cockatiels,
We have had Budgies all our Married life, 33 years,but have NEVER,had such Interaction,as we do with our 3 year old Cockatiel.
He was not Hand Raised,as was recommended,
But,has become so tame,he says hello to us by name,
IE,hello Mum,Hello Pop,Greets, by name,both of our Daughters,and 3 out of 5 of our grandchildren.
Some people say,Cockatiels dont talk that well.
They are Wrong.
This little bloke talks very well,
Saying,"I drop it",if he PUSHES a biscuit from his cage,
"Pick up Mum, Come,on"
I say,"Do you like Girls",he responds,with a wolf whistle.
That is a SMALL sample,of his Vocabularly.
He loves to have breakfast with us,taking food from whatever we are having.
He Threatens us sometimes,with his beak,running it along a finger,Nibbling.
BUT,NEVER,bites us.
He will nibble our ear,and then put his head down for a scratch.
Totally Spoilt, Bloody Sook.
We love him Dearly.
Regards.John
