@5WAP female cockatiels’ faces are super gray and the red cheeks arent very bright., and on the inside of its tail feathers females have rings. males have bright faces and no tail feather rings. hope i helped.
the bird is not happy climbing the endless ladder lol
@5WAP its a little more tricky to know the gender of a lovebird.
but with cockatiels…..some females have a duller plumage color than the male.
@5WAP
Sometimes by the sound of its voice, or if within a year or two it lays eggs.
How do you know the sex of a cockatiel and a lovebird? besides DNA?
@BABIIFISHBONE oh bravo retard bravo
i gave my cockatiel to my grandma. we weren’t very good to it. besides, my grandma’s super loonely and she loves it now. now i have parakeets, and i am pretty sure i take good care of them because they are happy, and they like me, so yeah. that’s a cute cockatiel in rthe vidfeo. lol.
I would recommend one. They cost about 70-90 bucks they do not usually hurt when they bite, so if you have children not a big deal if they get bit. Also they live about 15 years.
the bird’s like, “Stop… ok… I just wanna sit already!” lol!
@skyress21 yes, cockatials can be paired with most birds smaller then thems
your cockatiel wants a scratch behind the head.. thats why he nibble and squawker .. mine does that all the time, i got mine from a pet shop and he is inseparable from humans, if a blood feather breaks u might wanna take him to a vet asap.. they can die from that.
@leggoon619
No. I owned one for 11 years. he/she should be fine as long as it meets all the other requirements clear eyes no discharge, etc. They puff up for sleep or if there pissed.
Dont worry about it I owned one, they will always nip/bite just ignore it they dont hurt
and eventually they will get tired and stop biting.
wat in mine r puffy r they going to die plz reply
@Weirdo03369111 you suck fucknig dick bag cockatiels are SUPER CUTE!! you are not your the one who fucks
disay
It all depends on the bird usually, I have cockatiels that talk their little heads off and I have some that I have spent countless hours trying to get them to speak and no result, from what I understand the females are least likely to speak and lo and behold all my females don’t talk, but they will chirp your ears off.
Parakeets have the largest capability of having vocabulary, in fact a budgie holds the record for the most diversified vocabulary of a bird.
Yes. They can be together, although I have never seen them associate with one another inside the aviary; they seem to keep to themselves, but I have never seen one go after the other. Keep a large enough feeding area for however many birds you have, I can see problems arising over food. All of my birds eat at the same time it seems, once one gets hungry, the rest of them decide that they are hungry as well.
the’yre not that loud really comparison to other birds they are really quiet
can cockatials be together with parakeets?
COCKA SUCK YEAH balls
it can depend.
they can be 50-200 canadian dollars for the bird alone.
when i got mine, he came from a breeder and he was super tame. adn he was only 50$!
Well that’s true, but you can always teach lovebirds to control their chirping.
I think it’s a baby, from the sound of it, so maybe he’s training it?
They’re just so loud, though.
