Very nice! I like them. 😊
Thank you :)
Me too
I got my teil trained by not doing any of this. And he sat on my shoulder throughout our 25 years together. The most loving animal I’ve ever had the pleasure to be owned by.
Same. This video is the worst one to watch.
Can you give some tips pls!!!
@@CloroxBleachRose No this vid is for the stubborn tiels
Never push ur hand into there belly guys they’ll just loose there balance and only go onto ur hand because they have no choice
exactly, they should step on your finger because of trust not force
Totally.. Also my cockatiel likes it when i blow on her
Even though that is true, some birds never understand the signal.
I would recommend introducing the bird to step up by giving it a choice (put a treat behind your finger so that the bird has to step up to reach the treat) while saying the command (ie: stepup, upup, etc). Then, after the bird is comfortable stepping up by choice with the treat being in sight, remove the treat from your hand and place it in your off-hand. Then, say the command (ie: stepup, upup, etc) that you have been using. If the bird steps up, reward it with the treat from your off-hand. If the bird does not step up, then show the treat and practice a bunch of times, then, place the treat in your off-hand once again. Try the command again and if the bird does not step up, repeat the process over and over until the bird steps up.
If you are sure that your bird does not understand the command, then lightly punch the bird’s chest while saying the command. Did I mention LIGHTLY. Gradually increase the pressure over time (don’t apply too much pressure) until your bird steps up. Then reward it form your off-hand.
If your bird does not step up even under pressure (no pun intended), it is not ready. Repeat the first step over and over again.
Well it's not a bad idea anymore because when you use a command and make your bird sit on your hand after that give it treats so it would understand that it will get treats if it do it
yes. ari jumps/flies/steps on my finger
Been trying for 5 months, and my female is still terrified of my finger. You make it sound so easy. Try it with my bird, if she steps on your finger, I'll give you 500 "quid" as you're fond of saying.
Edit: I've also read that birds cannot understand negative reinforcement, and to never blow on them at all. Christ, even I knew that.
I'm speaking from years of pet training experience and readings on the subject. With animals of any kind, there is no "understanding" of what they're supposed to do with reinforcement. You're just getting them to automatically and unthinkingly "associate" a behavior with reinforcement, whether positive or negative. Generally, you're only supposed to use mild punishment to stop potentially harmful (to human or the animal) behaviors like biting. But if someone tells you to "never" do a certain action to a pet (like shoulder "domination" lol), they really need to say specifically WHY it's a bad thing (and it should make sense to you); otherwise you might collect a bunch of rules that actually wind up confusing your pet and stressing it out, which is bad for their physical health. Blowing on a bird is just mildly annoying to them, but on the off chance they could pick up a human disease, you certainly shouldn't blow on them when you're sick.
Try out different snacks. You will find one they do everything for. Get them to feed near your hand. then from the hand. Take your arm. Lay your hand flat on the cage. try to lock them on the hand. Reward them every time they did it right. With my Cockatiels was the only possible way to get them. They will lightly bit you when thier stepping up. Thats normal. A Cockatiel tests if your arm is sutible. Dont blow on them. They will likely chatch a Disease.
@@analphabet1996 mine loves taco shells, but I only give her a few bites because of the salt. She goes nuts for plain rice cakes, might try to only give her some if she steps up. Weird, because I have her stick trained perfectly, she jumps right onto my arm, and her favorite place is my shoulder, but hands just freak her out. She can't make the connection that hands=also me. And I drop the nutri-berries less than 2 inches from her head into her tray with my fingers. Birdbrain.
@@ElevenDollarCheeseOmg me too my budgies do everything with a stick, they come, step up etc. But when it comes to hands they get really scared you’re lucky they even go on your arm mine don’t like arms either for them it’s bigger and even more scary and for some reason they let me pet them when they’re calm or at certain times, they will also do anything for millet but once the millet is gone, they just leave and never let you touch them again
I am having the same problem
Never use the cage as punishment. Its their safe space to go to for calm down time, sleeping, eating. If your bird is misbehaving do not give into that behavior at all, blowing on them will only ruin your progress as well as never raise you voice, always talk to your bird with a soft calm tone. When they bite you or misbehave, simply give them a stern but still calm "No". These things take time and patience. If your bird keeps biting then reflect on your actions and behavior, what did you do that made your bird feel the need to bite? Your bird could just be tired and simply wants you to stop touching them. Training goes both ways, if your not getting anywhere then take a break and try again another day
:D
How many fingers does it take to train
@@gersonalvarez4865 XD idk, I found index fingers to be the main targets and although their not fingers thumbs are also a target
Very good advice
@@gersonalvarez4865 never been bitten, i first use a bamboo stick to step on, once heisused to me i just put my hand up and he hops or flys to it. Just dont force or push them and stay patient keep talking comforting him
I very recently acquired my baby cockatiel. She is a replacement for my fly trained quacker parrot that I recently lost. I’ve quickly learnt that my quacker (Frankie) will never be replaced. But I Learnt to appreciate (Molly) in her own way.
One of the most basic beginner training tactics is to teach Target or "Touch" training with a wooden chopstick and a clicker, and rewarding with a click and a treat when the bird gently taps the end of the stick. By teaching your bird this earlier on it can be easier to train because the bird will associate the stick and clicker with getting a treat and may be motivated to co-operate. Don't ever try to force your bird to do something as this will break trust and learn to read body language. Your bird goes to bite your finger when it gets too close? Back away and try again later. This will show the bird you RESPECT it's warnings and it will slowly learn on it's own that the finger won't hurt it. Work at the birds pace, no matter how slow it is, and your bond will be just that much stronger.
this!!!!!!!!!!!! This whole video makes me made. its the opposite of what you should do. What you said is how it should go.
Click means?
@@theoneandonly9846 clicker training is when you use a clicker(little thing with a button that makes a fast, clicking noise) to train your bird. Clicker represents a treat coming. You can find some great videos on how to do it on TH-cam. Just search up "clicker training for birds".
Hope it helped❤❤❤
I love this comment!!! Truth, only truth. And this method will really help you to grow your relationship with your feathered friend❤
SO great VIDEO SHARING
Cockatiels are the sweetest birds, mine loves n feels so safe on my shoulders,and sometimes it’s so hard to get him off my shoulders 😍❤️
This is about the furthest thing from what you should do
What should you do then?
Please help me, idk the age of my cockateil as we bought it off someone but I suspect he is quite old and he is u trained what do I do
@@estebanmercado8658 literally
Pushing on their belly causes the bird to lose its balance and be forced onto your finger. You are forcing them to do something they don't want to do. This breaks any trust with you.
It’s so cute when he sticks up the feathers on his head
Thank you
Omg I loved when u said they r like two year olds
Great vedio
Thank you
Thank You! My Cockatiel was Driving Me crazy by Biting Me.
Coco And Mairobi are interested in a couple of very comforting pets for the home.
i really liked
That cage is TINY
Yes it is, so we made new one 4 months ago th-cam.com/video/VOSKRP_XxUk/w-d-xo.html
Wtf that budgie is so excited Cockatiel so cute! Just aggressively bathing 😂😍💕
haha yes it is
Wow amazing. I LOVED IT
I ever first seen Cockatiel training... Good to show...
I'll be this bird's bitch if it means it'll sit on my shoulder like I'm a Pirate.
Nice Video.
Thanks!
I got my cockatiel just now...he's 4months old,he's too pretty..maybe he doesn't even know how to bite he's such a calm bird even if I try to touch him he just gets scared and backs off but he never tried to bite yet hope we get boneded soon.😊
Sounds great :) Awesome, you find the calm one, it will be easy for you :)
this is really a very good tutorial on cockatiel training. this is of great help. thank a lot
cute video! love your relationship with him 🖤 you can definitely train him to willingly get into the harness, just use his favorite treat and take it nice and slow. Looks like he had fun though!
This video is amazing I got my cockatiels about 4 weeks ago and they already obey up command and don’t bite any more
Nice job :)
Now watch the Fly to finger video and take the next step :)
Really good video and so cute. I loved this!
Me sitting here watching this with my cockatiel on my shoulder: 👁️👄👁️

My bird immediatly stepped on my finger and is extremly friendly i wanted to see how to train like tricks and stuff

Thank you! Cheers!
Nice
Thanks
This is the cutest thing that I've ever seen -
Thank you Albert
My bird is called coco too and my budgie pebbles
Awesome :) :)
i love this❤️❤️❤️
My cocktails love to stay on my shoulder and whistles
1:45 this is positive punishment, not negative reinforcement; positive = presentation of a blow; punishment = less biting occurring
Nice and amazing loved it
I would definitely change your cage because it is much to small for a cockatiel especially two. Good luck!
Thanks for the tip! We already made one th-cam.com/video/VOSKRP_XxUk/w-d-xo.html
ngl, im gonna keep putting my bird on my shoulder
Thank You for Support and Cocktails are Beautiful !!!!
Our pleasure! Thank you :)
God loves u have a great day
You too :)
Great, they are so cute
Thank you
Never let them on your shoulder is a disappointing one. That’s the most convenient spot for my bird. Loves to hang out with me while I do dishes, laundry, clean house and vacuum or just chill and watch a movie. Is there a healthier alternative other than on my finger the entire time?
Beautiful bird ❤🎉❤🎉❤
Thank you 🙈
Awwww they are sooo cute oml!
Thank you, yes they are the cutest :)
You have a lot of eeveelution and other Pokemon!!! I love them!!!❤️

i gave them some food and stuff and i put my hand on them still they where scared of me so i saw this video and it made me understand wow! i am going to do the same thing bye im subscribing right now!! thx for help!
Awesome, Thank You so much :)
Is it only during the training/taming phase that you do not want your cockatiel to sit on your shoulder? I am about to get a young cocktail and am researching on training. Years ago I had bought a cockatiel already a year old and very tame. He sat on my shoulder a lot and we had positive interactions. I was able to teach him how to say various words and whistle tunes.
Nice video
Thanks
I also have two gray cocktail
I subscribed😊🐦
I have 2 cocktiels
Thank you :)
My young cockatiel keeps biting me and flying all over the cage whenever i try to approach.... 🙄
Yeah mine to he doesn’t like me
@@karig7624 One month later and its a bit better, but just a tiny bit. Ive read that some cockatiels only like men and bond with them only, while some only like women, maybe our cockatiels like men
@@bellebella783 if its a female bird, then its tough to train them. I have both male and female. Male is always calm, female always keeps running here and there. Been like this since months., still trying to pamper her.
@@loki4171 its a male, now one month later he is doing better with accepting me... in general this kind if bird is very difficult to deal with and they love biting and fighting... good luck to both of us 😅
Try out different snacks. You will find one they do everything for. Get them to feed near your hand. then from the hand. Take your arm. Lay your hand flat on the cage. try to lock them on the hand. Reward them every time they did it right. With my Cockatiels was the only possible way to get them. They will lightly bit you when thier stepping up. Thats normal
hii can u please tell what can we sue as special treats? I bet it has to be a treat they don’t get often but they like
Getting my cockatiel in 4 days!
Awesooome :)
this video was made on my birthday and i got a bird on july 1 (my birthday) he is a cockateil and he fully yellow we named him coco
That is sooo sweeet :)
Hes gone now fly high coco
Interesante.. good..
My mothers friend Julie, she is going to sell it to us. I can’t wait!
Awesome :)
Oh I have to tame tho
Tengo suerte, entrene a mi cacatúa en solo un mes :D
i want to do the blowing thingy for my bird, but im kinda scared since i spit sometimes whenever i blow softly, and i've heard saliva is harmful to birds. should i use a different approach for it?
I bought 8 month old cockatiel from pet shop it was sick the owner hand feed him he got better he half train I'm training him when I put my hand he hiss but when I put my hand flat on surface and slide easy he get on and he does be on my shoulder cause he feel comfortable there
