step one leave it for a couple of days.
ok he has been in my house for 1 year
step to put your hand in the cage for 10min – 20min each day.
ok, he screams at my hand and starts flying around the cage and tries to
bite me.
step three give it a millet.
scared of it slowly gets close and only bites it and does not eat it.
step four hand feed
:O O.o …… bites of a bit of flesh from my finger……
step five step up .
yea right i am going to do that xD *gets jet pack and flys*
I have a female bird 2 years (never tamed when I got her), & she doesn’t
like to be looked at when you are close enough to touch her. Should I do
all the steps in your video but without looking directly at her or should I
try to make her feel comfortable with my apparently ghastly face?
This was really helpful thanks! i’ll be getting a pet bird soon so i’m
trying to find out all the information I can about them to prepare. One
thing i’m scared about is letting it out the cage once it’s tamed… will
it know to fly back? sorry if that’s silly to ask, I’m just wanting to make
sure in case i have to train it to get back into its cage haha.
very good video 🙂 i need to teach smoky my cockatiel to not bite me, (he
bites the folds in my skin on my fingers) i have said no to him lots but he
wont stop.
okay so i have sucess in feeding him with my hands nd he also let me pet
his head and loves to cudle my fingers but now i m facing problem is that
he always want me to pet him even when i m trying to make him step up… he
is not stepping up on my finger bt instead of stepping on my finger he is
cuddling my finger 🙁 nd sometimes be scared of my finger.. pls help me :/
i love your video. been trying to hand feed my Gouldian Finches
Crimson(male) and Karma(female) since quite a few days now and Karma seems
to be comfortable to perch on my palm and eat whereas Crimson doesn’t seem
to trust yet! Funny thing is i tried to just place my palm inside with tiny
few seeds and started reading aloud! after a while Karma flies down,
perches on my palm and goes off to sleep! i start giggling it looked so
funny and she wakes up! all i wanted her was to start getting used to my
hand inside the cage! hope i make more progress the coming weeks :D…would
love to have them tame as your bird some day soon :)
Great video. Just wondering if anyone can tell me where I can buy a cage
just like this one. I’m from Sydney Australia and so far I don’t really
like any of the cages I’ve seen. I’d like one with a catcher like this,
because my cockatiel is so messy, but I also would like one that is not so
big and bulky because I keep him inside. If anyone can help me, that would
be great, thanks :)
i have the exact same bird …. and i can tell you one thing …. he will
NEVER get on any finger … he is always angry … always afraid … and
always blows snots out of his nose … 🙁 … even if i wanted to carry his
dang cage he would jump and flap his wings like a maniac
I have a new little bird like yours and he seems to be scared, the normal
owner said she worked with him a lot but, he seems very new and scared. Do
you know why he wont even let me put my hand in his cage without being
super scared?
I have two ‘tiels, both between 1 and two years old. They are the same when
biting – they don’t actually bite my finger, they just tap it with their
beak. It’s so cute!
Can’t wait for my two to be as tame as yours. I’ve had mine for 2 weeks now
and they’re gaining confidence everytime I leave the cage door open they
wonder a little further before deciding to go back in.
Please reply!! I have got 2 cockateils recently. They are brother and
sister. It has been 3 months. They wont let me do anything. If my hand is
even near thier cage they both try to attack me. I can barely put food in
their dishes. Before i got them they were beaten and abused. WHAT DO I
DO??????
and i just wanted advice for the canaries for my friend i dont have bird
pets..i think that its wrong to have a bird locked up in a cage for ever
and just doing nothing only sleep, feeding..they need to fly in the skies
and live normally…anyway the birds are not born to be locked in cages for
humans to look at!
To everyone who keeps saying that just SPENDING TIME with your bird will
not gain you its trust. The two days is a precaution, to avoid stressing
out the bird. Although a bird may seem calm, trusting, and tame in a few
hours, some will take longer!
Yeah, it actually prefered to eat from my hand before eating from the
millet. but it likes eating millet today. And has no problem eating
anything. It was just because he had’nt seen a millet before and didnt know
what it was. My cockatiel is afraid of everything he doesnt know of, until
he touches it with his beak.
Well keep handfeeding him. It will sooner or later realize that it isnt
dangerous. I got my new cockatiel 1 month ago from the petstore too and he
was really scared when they chased him around with the net. But just when i
got him at home, i started talking to him, a little bit, till the next day.
Then i started closing my hand up on to him so slow he didnt realize it.
And then he just stepped up. But wasnt used to it. But hes used to it now.
hmm, actually what I did to make him less afraid and more willing to eat it
was just, let it hang there and he explored it and finally ate from it. But
still he doesnt seem to like it. It’s very weird because all cockatiels or
most cockatiels really love them.
I don’t recomend pushing you bird at all instead ask it by placing your
finger in front of it and maybe lure it with the millet until it steps up
on its on free will.

Keep the window closed and then wait. He’ll return the the cage eventually
because that’s where the food is 😉

Rude, your other comment was so rude
SabrinasTVTube
How old is your bird here? How long did this take? And what do they eat if
you get them when they are a few months old?
MuerteLa
what if your bird fly away when you take him out?

I don’t recomend pushing you bird at all instead ask it by placing your
