    when i was like 11, my parents got me a cockatiel from a pet store. i had to fight them to the point where i was almost in tears, just to get him a bigger cage. it wasnt nearly big enough for him, but it was better than what they were considering. i figured i'd just let him roam free most of the time, but they didnt even let me do that (an hour or two every day was the max they allowed). they also refused to get pellets or anything except birdseed mix. they let me feed him like one tiny veggie a week. he also didnt have any toys. and he had those smooth plastic perches.
    i didnt do the research i should have imo, but they also made it very hard for me to implement the things i did know. he died a couple months later bc a cat got into his cage.
    i still feel guilty about treating him that way. i lowkey resent my parents for it too. they mentioned getting a dog later, and i talked them out of it. im gonna do my best to make sure they dont own any more pets until they're willing to give the animals what they need. and im going to do as much research as i can and im going to do my best to give any future animals i have the best life possible

      i feel so bad for you. i had a similar experience, except my mom let me take home a wild turtle. it turned out to be a snapping turtle (just her shell was over a foot long she was massive) and my parents didn't even get me a cage for her, i kept her in the bathtub until my grandma gave me her old fish tank that was like 20 gallons i think. i was like 8 so i didn't have any money and i couldn't even feed myself let alone an animal. i used to take her for walks in the yard and she'd never bite me. eventually my dad released her in a local pond and she probably died but i hope she's alive and happy. just know it wasn't your fault and there was nothing you could've done, i'm sure that cockatiel was happy while he was alive and he felt your love for him. he's in bird heaven now flying free with all the other birds, so don't worry. i know how hard it is to lose pets, especially when you're a kid.

    Some useful info in this! Cockatiels are so much more than just an easy pet and require so much consideration. Even made a vid on the topic myself due to how many end up abandoned or rescued.
    Also loving the anime stuff in the background! I'm not as keen as I used to be (bit old now!) but still love watching it and listening to creative vocaloid tracks.

    My mum went to Greece to visit her parents last year (we're in Australia) and my tiel got so depressed as she's his mate. We had to ring mum when he refused to eat and he'd perk right back up after hearing her voice. When the whole family went to Greece 6 years ago, our landlords/friends went to feed him and spend time with him every day. He got so depressed without his flock our landlords thought he wouldn't make it. As soon as he heard us at the door when we got home, he just started screaming and instantly perked up when he saw us. So yeah. Birbs get depressed xD

    I have one, and he’s literally a 2 year old. He throws temper tantrums, tries to eat EVERYTHING, and poops wherever he wants- but he can be the sweetest thing when he sings. He’s bonded to me, which is nice, but he also tends to bite and fly at my family. I’m trying to work on that, but it’s still hard.
    Basically, birds are adorable, and are very sweet. Keep in mind that if you get a cockatiel, you’re adopting a new member of the family. 💕🌸 Every bird is different, and Soda’s bird seems to be much more laid back than mine.
    Thanks for making this video. It was very informative, and I believe it will help a lot if people.

      I know a couple facts about birds in general, considering I have 3.
      1. They can't eat garlic, chocolate, sodium, salt, butter, the strings in celery, avocado.
      2. Some birds are very picky, some like vegetables over fruit and some like fruit over vegetables. You have to kind of experiment.
      3. Be careful, they bite hard sometimes! You need to bond with them over time and gain their trust.
      4. They need lots of love
      5. They need a more spacy cage for them to roam around in. You shall also get a perch, so when your bird is out, it can go use the bathroom on the perch.
      6. You will have to clean their cage and perch about once a week.
      That's all I can really think of as of now, I hope this helped✨💜

    I have a cockatiel and her name is Cleo, I got them parent raised at 9 weeks and she's been bonding quickly. Got her a few weeks ago and I love her so much. Obv not fully tame yet, but they're most of the time calm with me and getting on my shoulder. My brother got their sister/brother and both cockatiels are bonding to us well. At first Cleo was flying everywhere every time I opened her cage, but now she's a lot more calm. Originally she wouldn't come near me, but I used millet to lure her to my finger, and after a few times she no longer needs millet, and is fine with just hanging out. :D These days I try to give her scritches when she's not calm, or if she's noisy and then she calms down. Whenever I do leave my room she chirps a bunch, and it is so cute I c a n n o t resist, so I come back and hang out for another hour. I love Cleo so much.

    Love your room, and your videos, not sure why they have just now started showing up for me on my recommended list.
    Avian rescues are really the best place to start. It will give you a really good idea of the mess and noise level parrots have. You don't get that from a pet store at all, they keep those animals behind sound proof glass!! A lot of people are thrown off by that, but they had already impulse bought one, so now it is in an avian rescue -.-
    I did get my budgies from a chain pet store. No regrets. They were completely wild, I knew they would be (I live in the middle of nowhere, so was my only option). I managed to tame and train them. Parrots are really not for people with very little patience.
    Now I am working with a rescue cockatiel (we found each other by complete accident), for the past 8 months. He came to me with serious behavioral issues, as well as health issues. So much miss information out there about parrots, it is sad. His previous owner only went off the really bad information the pet store gave him.
    Pretty sure my boy wouldn't do well with another. From what he has already been through in life (he was 6 years old when I got him), I don't want to add that level of stress to it. He is still in the process of learning to be a cockatiel again as it is. Maybe down the road I might give it a go. Otherwise he has 4 little annoying budgie friends as well as me.
    Budgies are spazzy, cockatiels are chill!
    Wish people did put in a lot more time and research before getting any pet. I took 6 months of online research before deciding to get my budgies (just weeding out all the outdated info alone took forever). I bought everything they would need a month before I went to pick any out from the store. Talked to the pet store employee, you can tell right off the bat they are there to just sell you items. There are a ton of dangerous items on the market targeted at parrots as well.

    I’ll never regret anything more than getting a bird from an (American) chain petstore. We saw a poor little cockatiel getting picked at by the other birds in his cage and decided to “rescue” him from that awful place. Loved that bird for 4 years and then he died very suddenly because of a brain tumor... the vet said he sees it pretty often with birds from those stores. I haven’t even THOUGHT about getting another bird for years because the whole situation was so awful, but seeing your videos with Yuki has made that little bird shaped hole in my heart feel empty again. Maybe when my living situation is solid I’ll think about rescuing one 🥺

    I had two budgies, both of them came from a pet store (I live in Norway so the pet stores here are not as bad as the ones in America) but I will never support any pet stores anymore. I got one first, and had him alone for about a year and then got another one. The first one I got was really affectionate, while the other was more reserved. However, they both helped each other, since Ludo was more affectionate he helped Polly become tame quicker than if he wasn't there. While Polly helped Ludo become more independent, which I liked because then he wasn't as lonely and sad while I was at school. They were free for most parts of the day, flying around and singing. I miss them both because I had to rehome them due to me not being able to give them all the attention I felt like they needed. I gave them to a nice lady with lots of experience with budgies! I actually got some advice from her when I first got them, and she is really nice. They have also formed a pack with two other budgies, and it's so nice to see them play around and socialize with other birds. Sorry for this long comment, but thank you for reading!

    Don't know if someone mentioned this to you, but that green perch you have in the background, I believe it's a concrete perch (correct me if I'm wrong) that it's not good for your parrot's feet. I used to have one for my parrot, until my avian vet told me that I shouldn't use such perches because it does damage to their feet, and it also collects bacteria that can be hard to get rid of.

    • @cookie856
      @cookie856 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      You need other perch, actually. This type of perch is good, because actually they need it, but not too much either.
      I want to explain more, especially since I study for pet care, but I don't know enough English for this.
      And you actually have to change them frequently.

      @@cookie856 I know that it helps trim their nails, but the cons outweight the pro. For me, simply I do not trust that type of perch near my bird's feet. I have plenty of other perches, made from different types of wood and different lengths, diameters, sturdiness and I consider them to be the safest choice.

    • @cookie856

      @@alice1998wonder Well, I didn't know you had wood perchs, little climb rock, that help them trim their nails too.
      But if somebody doesn't have those and only have plastic perch, it's an option to avoid stress out the bird by doing it yourself.
      But the best and the safer for the bird well being is to be the closest to this natural habitat, especially non-domesticate one. (Technichly, Cockatiels aren't. They haven't any other use than «pet» for now)

    When i was young i had a cockatiel and he wasn't afraid of anything so when my mom put him at a vacation pet kindergarten thingy it used to sit on the back of a huge rottweiler. 😅 Fortunately it was a gentle rottweiler and not a grumpy one. 😮
    Once it tried to introduce itself to a dachs and the dog started licking it's mouth. I'm sure it would have eaten it if it had the chance, but i quickly saw how that could turn messy and removed the dog. Best not to take any chances with dogs or cats, especially if you don't know and trust them well.

      P.s like Soda said, birds get depressed if you're away and aren't giving them a lot of attention, especially if solo. They're highly monogamous, and when solo, they actually think of you as their mate and wont bond very well with other people. (I grew up with budgies).

    I've wanted a bird for years! I just turned 18 and once I move out I plan on getting one. I have this very good store in the city I've gone to multiple times before. They are hand-raised and they're a small business. Some birds are tamed enough to where strangers can hold some birds with no problems! I am an artist and do part time at a retail job. I never go outside and usually just sit around and watch videos or draw. I have a Yorkie who's very timid around other animals. Of course I'd train him to be good around the new bird and never leave them alone together. I don't mind noises at all since my dog cries all the time. Thank you for this video!

    My brother owns a cockatiel.
    He NEVER plays with it or spends time with it. He barely feeds it and changes it's water (I've changed it before and it had GREEN SLUDGE in it, I'm not even joking). I swear he only got her because she's exotic and he just wants her as some ornament. It's terrible.
    Edit: Also for anyone that reads this, please don't do what he does. His bird is so depressed she barely sings. When we first go her she was singing and bobbing her head and giving kissies. Now she doesn't and lashes at anyone that gets near her. That poor bird, I wanna get rid of her but my brother might hurt my dog.

    Maintain very high air quality with filtration, not ionizers, no teflon cookware or fragrance stuff.
    No standing water, even if its for a leak in the roof.
    Keep wings clipped or harnessed if your bird is not trained to fly free.

    Another problem with wing clipping is that you are taking away their main excersize route. Birds in captivity need a way to burn off all the calories they are eating. If they don't excersize, they can become obese, and even develop a fatty disease.
    I am against wing clipping unless your bird is flying away from you and won't let you take it, or something similar, where it is necessary.

    I don’t like the idea of clipping a birds wings, I just don’t want them to be stressed out. What assured me of this opinion was a barn owl ended up at my front door. He was at the window screaming at us (normal for barn owls… the screaming thing, not the front door thing) but we didn’t know why he wouldn’t leave. No reason to be here. We called the ranger to relocate him and found out someone had tried to keep him illegally and clipped his wings. Poor baby :(

I don't want to neglect my bird, but I'd also like to have a strong bond with it... I'm a beginner so I was thinking hand raised. Should I give it a friend right from the get go?
