First of all, you talk too fast and it’s hard to understand what you are
saying half the time. You saw a video and that makes you an expert on
Cockatiels? I have had Cockatiels for many years. They all have their own
personalities. If you have a biter there is nothing you can do. Some love
to be held and cuddle and some just like to sit with you and let you pet
their heads but quick motions will make them bite. My one bites hard
enough to draw blood but he will let you pet his head. Its their
temperament………you cannot stop them from biting once they learn they
can control the situation with biting. There are no signs he’s going to
bite before he bites. He is a rescue and I think the first owners may have
mistreated him.
lol why would i do that? i have a budgie and we spar all the time, shes
careful not to bite too hard and usually flies to me whenever she sees me
begging to play.
@lamya1961 That what you have posted is exacly the same in my case my
cockatiel is never in his cage out from 8 in the morning till 6 at night
sits on my knee flys round the house lets me kiss him on his head and rub
his head with my face but not hands dont get it have you made any progress
@zeffyismylove i did that when i first got Joy and it seemed to
work,another thing i did was get an old cloth (clean) and wrap him in that
so his head was popping out and just hold him while i was sitting down and
this worked a bit aswell.
@TheSick80 sorry for posting a response twice i dodnt realise it was the
same person…sometimes joy ( my tame bird in the video) nibbles my hands
and sometimes if im trying to get him in to his travelling cage or hes mad
(like when we went away for holiday he ignored me for a bit becasue he was
angry that i had lets him for a bit…) they may bite..with patience your
bird will definatly get used to you…besides they live for a long time so
you have a while 🙂 x
@multigirl3450 Me too!!! That’s what happens to me!!! My budgie likes my
Mom more…….. but I do all the work like feeding, bathing….. stuff
like that!!!!
I have had my bird for 3 years and he still bites, he always flies to me,
he also doesn’t like to be patted, he hates my mum, we don’t know why he
hates my mum when she cleans his cage feeds him and gives him water most of
the time
for TheCockatielChannel, not to hurt your feeling or anything, but I think
your bird needs pellet and fruit diet. The flaky beak means that he or
she’s barely get vitamin A.
@TheCockatielChannel Thing is we got Kiku (male) cockatiel from someone
else at my parents shop they said the owners couldnt look after him so we
took him in. His sort of wild type bird and i dont spend alot of time next
to his cage but i do talk to him in a nice ways and he tweets and chirps
back at me as a reply. Also his wings arnt clipped so how exactly do i put
him into an old /worn out cloth? also while his on my shirt he tries to
bite/peck at my shirt.
For my bird, Its hair that he’s attracted to, what ive done so far and ive
only had my bird for 3 days; I pick him up even if he gets spooked and he
bites me, i let him rest on my finger(s) and let me look me in the face for
a few and ill let him sit on my shoulder, ill slowly bring up some treats
and he’ll eat from your hand, soon he reconized me nor my hand was an
enemy, so no i have an awesome bird who flys to my
hands/arms/shoulders/head and follows me, Hope this helps (5 Months late)
@leos4life21 A good thing to do would be to hang your finger above the
birds head, just out of reach. Move your finger lower and lower until the
bird forgets about your finger. Give him millet or something similar when
he doesnt bite. I taught my cockatiel not to bite the same way and it
worked well. If he bites tap him hard enough on the beak to show him you
dont like it. Good luck!
my bird pikachu bites when i try to pick him up and i do speak to him in a
gentle voice and do you know how to teach them to talk and he dosnt like
apples is it normal
A lot of imes i talk to my bird for a while and then when i walk away he
starts chirping for me to come back,i actually just did it now for like 20
minutes.
My bird has been imprinted to me for the past few years now and i’ve had
him for 3 years. He stays out of his cage all day, 8pm is his bedtime. He
won’t allow me to touch him hand on, he will only let me touch him with my
face (nose, mouth, cheek) I speak to him and I spend all my time with him.
His name is Dooley, nickname Birdy bird. As i am typing this, im baby
talking to him and he is talking back to me lol How do i earn his trust
enough to let me touch him with my hands?
with gloves, I take 1 of them under tap water , and I give him a good
shower for 5 minutes (the water is not hot nor cold, 50/50), then I dry him
little-bit & I put him on my hand with glove& then with 1 or 2 fingers of
my other hand without glove I give a very soft massage on the head & face &
neck (about 20 minute massage),I make him feel safe&use to my hand , I
repeat this for both 5 or 6 times for2days1st&2ed&3ed time they were still
bitting but less then less until they used to my hand !
Hi i uhm… urgh… okay where to start my cockatiels know we dont hurt
them well our male knows. He is more comfortable with me but when i want to
pat him right i have to grab him first (corner him in the cage) i dont grab
him to hard but firmly so he wont flap/run away then i place him on my
shirt and pat and say nice things to him. Is this okay to help him trust me
more? or is this making the biting situation worse? he does bite but its
not painful or hard. Go to my channel to see my birds

This isn’t helpful at all. It’s word for word exactly as someone else had
written on a website

Well its harder for birds who have the company of other birds to want to
interact with humans

the cockatiel i own will be perfectly fine and amazing when he is outside
of hs cage…but when he is inside…he will still bite but let me hold him
??
TheCockatielChannel
@leos4life21 well if you hit him he is going to resent you and want to bite
you more
childsweethearts
My cockatiel is gentle, but likes to chew on my finger nails and finger
tips. Any advice? A gentle no will eventually stop her from doing this?
