What the bird think it’s doing: “I AM GARGANTUTOR, DESTROYER OF PLANETS, AND MY FEATHERS HAVE BEEN RUFFLED ENOUGH! I WILL DESTROY YOU AND YOUR PLANET!”
@@CharlesNauck Most birds are highly promiscuous and rarely mate for life. Only a few species engage in lifetime monogamy. Most are either seasonally monogamous, promiscuous, or polygamous. But by and large even the monogamous birds don't really have a system of child rearing similar to humans. Most bird pairs raise their offspring on their own, while humans in natural conditions everyone in the band pitches in with raising the kids (it takes a village to raise a child), in this way humans are quite similar to bonobos, which are a species of chimpanzees. In fact, the notion of lifetime monogamy in humans is a pretty recent social construct in relative terms. In nomadic hunter-gatherers humans rarely mate for life, and can be best described as serially monogamous. But in terms of raising our offspring humans are similar to our closest relatives.

I think it's beautiful. These creatures are so small and fragile themselves yet they're willing to risk everything for their babies. Say whay you want, when most of the world is 10 times bigger than you could possibly percieve, that's incredibly brave. Nature makes it's mightiest warriors in the most unassuming forms.
Yep....Lol....My little boy bird Sebastion does this as well... It's amazing (and adorable 😆) how the males are so protective, isn't it ? "Must protect our eggs.... Battle to the death!" 🐣
huh, my sister has a Parakeet named Sabastian (or Sebastard if she's been pulling Sunny's Tail again) who is pair-bonded to another female parakeet named Sunny.
I must never get a cockatiel, they always look like they're smiling ever so sweetly, I wouldn't be able to take it seriously even if it was pissed off.
They're quite good mimics, too. We had one that could mimic our landline (anyone remember those?) so well we kept thinking it was actually someone calling.
@@diogeneslantern18 Oh, I don't doubt they're great, my point is that I wouldn't be good to the bird because I wouldn't take it seriously when it was upset 😅
@@unelectedbureaucrat2003 It's not about what I prefer, it's about whether I'd be a good caretaker to the bird 😆 But as far as preferences, cockatoos seem pretty funny but they seem loud and annoying and I believe you that they bite hard 😅
When I got my first cockatiel back in 2014, she ended up cornered and was hissing and threat dancing in a nature similar to this. I’m genuinely confused as to WHAT it’s supposed to work on, being an intimidating deterrent.
I have this boy for over 9 years. He looks scared when on my hand. His son is very friendly. His daughter is very territorial, never comes to me. Every cockatiel is different.
I had a male cockatiel once who I guess really wanted to sit on some eggs. We got him a different bird food and they added dry black-eyed peas to it. We wondered why he stayed on the bottom of his cage for the last couple days and checked. He collected the little beans from his food bowl and carried them to the bottom of the cage and sat on them like eggs. We honestly felt a little bad having to take the beans away from him. After that, we had to manually sort his food to remove all those beans so he would stop collecting them.
My grandma had one and he hissed any time you got near his cage. He would bite your hands for changing his papers or food. But he would also get sad if you were to walk away. He was always a jerk his whole life strangely. My grandma called him "little bastard". 🤷
I love how they try to be intimidating with the swaying from side to side, but it comes across as so cute. My tiel did that when she laid eggs once, but she stopped being protective of them when they didn't hatch for a while (they were unfertilized)
These birds can seriously hurt you. I've been stabbed by that beak right in the meat of my hand between thumb/index finger. Bled all over and have a scar from it. The worst part is the bird was just being playful, wasn't even trying to be mean. Couldn't be angry about it, was my aunt's bird and I knew it didn't mean any harm.
I'm so used to seeing birds like this as pets that I forget they started as a wild species. It's actually weird to think of these guys (or any parrot/parakeet) as a wild bird with strong instincts now that I've seen them exclusively in petshops.
They still are a wild species with all of their instincts and natural quirks. We haven't domesticated any parrot except for perhaps the English Budgerigar. They're merely tamed typically, none of them are domesticated.
Just an FYI: cockatiels can break skin with their bites. Yes they're very cute, but don't underestimate those beaks. I've seen them making people bleed. Source: I've raised several tiels
The standard cockatiel swagger and hiss. The precursor to a many nips to the uninformed. Mine loved to do it... but never bit me. If you watched him attack me it looked like he was shredding me but it was just for show.... anyone else... got the real deal. Cockatiels are awesome birds!
lol I had no clue that these birds actually existed. I've only ever seen them in like animation style. I love how they always look like they're blushing.
Everyone here exclaiming how cute this cockatiel is. I'll tell ya... he will mess you up. I've been bit by a pissed off Cockatiel and they take chunks. This one protecting his eggs.....no thank you!
I have a pet cockatiel and it bites all the time and I don't feel a thing. They just do tiny pecks and it's not possible for them to penetrate. When she attacks aggressively I don't feel anything. It's really cute
When I was a kid, my grandmother's bird used to hiss at me every time I came near the cage and would nip at the bars if my hand came too close. But I did it on purpose just because I knew it didn't like me and would taunt it. 😂
😂 I do to that with my tiel kids...lol..."Oooh, oh soooo scary...Frightening little wee ones...Must protect the future generation!" Then on other days, "Fly minions, fly! Go get em'...Conquer the human race....MwaHaHa....!!!"
Cool...lol...Knud's a good name...I have Sebastion and Delwyn (aka Wynnie)...Sebastion does the same thing. Reminds me of an angry marshmallow peep...Darling minions...😂

...lol...😆😂
When I tell my amazon he's too cute he just gets angrier while not realizing that him being mad is what makes him cute😂😂
I wonder why they sway when angy anyway?
@@unmellowthegamer8946i think its because they try to be "scary/intimidating" but they just look way cuter lol

They only bite when they breed. Other time they just fake bite to show their anger.
Come on, Daddy, don't just grunt, sit on the eggs too and then grunting will look more reasonable!
I swear that bird has become a video game NPC 💀
He saw the scrambled eggs. He knew you were dangerous

never have I ever seen or heard of a cockatiel hiss or it's just me twingkin 😅
still cute tho❤
Remember, the distant ancestors of this little bird were dinosaurs.
