I have both. They are buddies. My cockatiel was a rescue. He didnt even know how to clean his feathers. Then I brought in the budgie. She taught him how to be a bird. 🙏❤ Now they are both happy!

I’m getting two free cockatiels from my sis friend who breeds them! I’m exited I’ve been researching for like 5 months

heck yeah I'm getting a cockatiel.

I had a cockatiel live until it was 21 Years old and that certainly can be a consideration in choosing a pet. Also, I would make sure to have an avian vet in your area that you can bring your bird.

I remember I used to watch your videos a few years back, and I decided to search it up again and I was surprised to see how much your channel grew! Great work!

I adopted 2 older cockatiels from a shelter almost 1 year ago. They don't let me handle them, but they do interact with me everyday. I named them Luther and Teddy because they sing. Their calls are different, one high and the other low and they love music.

Looking to get a cockatiel. We had one when I was a kid, and he would whistle Bridge on the River Kwai and the theme song to the Andy Griffith Show and a few other things my mom taught him. And we had cats and he would meow like the cats. Boy was he loud!! But yeah, I’d love another one.

I have a budgie named Pluto and I bought him from a pet store non hand raised and he is very tame

Exactly true. Jeremy my hand raised cockatiel loves to be around humans and not at all afraid of us. But CLARITY ,my seven months old store bought cockatiel likes to be by herself. And I feel after Jeremy and Clarity started being friends, Jeremy avoids human company. He is not afraid of us . But prefers the other cockatiels company. It's normal though for a bird to prefer the company of another bird. But I must see how they will both grow up in the long run.

Hello there! Your video about bathing a Cockatiel taught me very well🤩 great info here!

I just adopted a brand new cockatiel named piper I adopted her and she's so sweet and this video is great

Love your videos, you are so sweet and informative! Thank you!!

I have both a Cockatiel and a Budgie, both bought from Pet Shops. My Cockatiel is scared of everything, has never liked hands, and although he talks it's not really clear, but he loves company and sings the Adams Family really well. In fact, he'll sing a bit of it then wait for me to sing the next bit and then when I stop he'll carry on, he knows the tune so well! My Budgie on the other hand, is very, very tame, climbs all over me, loves to snuggle, share food etc and knows an incredible amount of words and phrases that are very clearly said. I love both my birds so much I don't go on holiday. Holidays will have to wait!

I have a lovebird but I want to get another bird particularly a cockatiel but I heard that they’re pretty dusty and im asthmatic as hell 😂

I have 3 cockatiels 2 of the 3 have been hand raised but cozmo is one i found and a complete jerk even after 10 yrs but i still love him ❤

Very informative video! Thank you!

nice video. team budgie here (but adore them all!)💕

I loved this video, thanks so much for making my day, you are amazing!! Stay safe in this crazy world.

I live in Holland, hand raising birds is illegal here. Yet i do really want a cuddle buddy. I hope that my future bird will be alle to get there with enough time and love

qwq I forgot to by a hand raised budgie,but my blue budgie can stand on my hand

Love from India for this channel😘

I got a Semi Tamed bird from a bird store, which means he wasn't afraid of humans that much. He loves to sit on my shoulder, though he is not familiar with the commands such as up, sit, and such. So I am beginning to train him slowly.

I’m getting a cockatiel❤❤❤

I have 2 cockatiels. One came into my life by accident. Super affectionate and friendly ... but definitely needed a companion while I was at work. The second cockatiel I bought as a hand-raised. About 4 months old. A bit shyer than Bertie, and unfortunately had his wings clipped, so can't keep up with Bertie's flying. Both are super affectionate and calm. Although, Bertie is very excitable and demands attention. They keep each other company and don't really make much noise. Both love sitting on my shoulder and getting cuddles and head scratches. The only downside is when Bertie lands on my head it's a bit prickly. To be honest the mess isn't too much, as long as you keep on top of it. Never though of myself as a bird person. But these two have stolen my heart and give so much love I wouldn't trade them for the world. Personal opinion: don't trim their wings. I feel so bad for Reggie when he tries to fly. Bertie can navigate around the apartment, but it's usually to look for me, not to escape. Oh and make sure they bathe ... cockatiels have a lot of bird dust!

I love you guys you guys are amazing

I love your channel but I need some love I had 5 birds 2 cocktails and 1 canary and 2 budgie one of my cocktails died 😢 😭

I noticed some comments about the long lifespan. The longer lifespan is one of the reasons I'm considering getting pet bird(s). My dog is turning 15 soon and I would love to have a social companion animal that could hang around a bit longer.. I live in a house now so we have some extra rooms and the option to build an aviary in our yard. I've had all kinds of smaller pets but I've never had a bird. I think living with an intelligent screaming poop machine would be fun.

I got my cockatiel Pikachu 3 days ago. He bonded with me in only five hours and he was finger tamed from a breeder at parrot connection . He also loves cuddles and always wants my attention.

I’m getting a cockatiel and your videos are so helpful!! I have a question...Can I have a single one or do I need to buy a pair of cockatiels for them to be more comfortable?

This is really the best bird channel 👍😊

They are so super cute when they are outside their cage. I've had Pirate now 3 mos. Im the third owner. Hesitant to let him right now...

I’d love advice on where to find a hand raised cockatiel.

I've been thinking about getting a cockatiel or a lovebird. I've never owned a bird before but I've always wanted one and have been doing extensive research to make sure I know what I'm getting into. However, I'm worried about having a cockatiel because I have serious pet allergies and I think their dander is more than likely to trigger it. On the other hand I hear that lovebirds are not good starter birds and are loud and nippy. I'd really like a bird with a similar temperament to the cockatiel, but without all that feather dander. I'm really bummed about having allergies because the cockatiel sounds perfect for my lifestyle.

Love budgie green 💚💚💚

When I got my first bird, I bought a Cockatiel. I had a neighbor who worked for a veterinarian and she recommended a reputable breeder of Cockatiels. They were hand raised. Spike was a very sweet bird. She was a normal colored Cockatiel. After the first molt I knew for sure she was female because her tail feathers retained the barred markings on the underside. Had the tail feathers come back plain with no barred markings on the underside Spike would have been a male. I know that other color mutations of Cockatiels make it harder to know if your bird is male or female.

I have 6 birds, 3 cockatiels (all males) & 3 budgies (2 male & 1 male). All but 2 of the birds are bought from pet shops,1 cockatiel is from a breeder & the female budgie was given to me as it hadn't had a good start to life & had some health issues & is now okay!

I'm considering between a cockatiel or budgie. I've had 2 cockatiels in the past, one was not hand tamed (had them when I was very young) and the other loved to sit in my lap and just get cuddles and kisses, her name was Chewie. Unfortunately my family sold her when I was out of town and I didn't know until I returned. Either way, I'd like a bird that is affectionate but I'm not sure if I should keep to a familiar species (cockatiel) or adopt a budgie. How different do you think they would be?

I have both lol my budges arnet tamed they are a mating pair sitting on 5 eggs. My cockatiel is hand raised tho and I love him.

im get a budgie for my birthday and i want it to be affectionate but i can only get it from my local pet store because my parents dont wanna drive an hour for a bird and im really sad because of it but im still grateful for still getting a bird

I Love it

Hi. I think that you bought your birds a little bit overprised at least at my county's standars. For example here I bought my albino hand tamed cockatiel(rare bird) for 70€ wich is not even 80 dollars.

Do have any experience with the product "Flight Suit" to manage the bird droppings? Your birds have leg bands: the reason? Who put the bands on the birds?

Hi I’m thinking about getting a cockatiel for my budgie. Can you tell me if Pillow and Pearl get along.

I love your channel I have 3 birds I have 3 yellow sided green cheek conures

Im getting 2 cockatiels and im wondering if i should get 1 male and 1 female or both male because im getting for sure 1 male so which one would you recommend??

I trying to get my first bird and cant decide maybe ill get both LOL

I had budgies when I was a kid but they stayed in their cages (in my country no one had tamed budgies, and no internet 20+ years ago). But now I have my cockatiel and I can't imagine a better bird. He's so cuddly. He wasn't hand raised but the breeder had constant contact with the babies, so he came home (at 3-4 months old) very tame. The only problem we have is that he has his moods and when we don't let him do something he wants to do (like attack my dog for example) he bites us lol

I just rescued a Lovebird I've had her for about a week. She is very scared 😔 She is 7 months old, was hand fed by the store she was purchased from and her wings are clipped. I like that her wings are clipped right now until she gets used to me. The previous owners had her for a month and never did anything with her accept feed her and give her water. I don't think she received veggies either she was on a rainbow food diet. I went to a mom and pop bird shop that has been around for 21 years and I put her in the house blend and a little bit of fruit mix. I also give her chooped up veggies daily. Got her a cuddle bone, appropriate sized toys, a couple more perches, a ladder, 2 food bowls as they fed her on a plate. I let her out of her cage a couple times a day and she is getting adventures. 😊 Do you have any recommendations?

Hello! this AWESOME! I’m hopping to get a female cockatiel (because there less loud) I have been saving up for a year, do you have any tips about cockatiels? I hear that there dusty and love to sing, but I would like some tips of food and other things, if you can make a video or replay that will be help full! ❤️👌😁 thanks any way!

Hello!!! I love your channel so so much!!! I have a question though...I don't know if I should get a budgie or cockatiel... I don't go to school (remote learning) but I do play lots of sports....what would be better for my lifestyle??? I would have about 5 hours a day to spend with the birb. I REALLY LOVE COCKATIELS I just don't know if 5 hours a day will be enough time...what do you recommend??

thx for this vid, i’m trying to do some more research abt cockatiels :D!

Pearl is a good bird and pillow too

Right now I have a cockatoo, budgie, mynah, and zebra finches. I started with cockatiels and I used to breed them and English budgies. I love budgies they are clowns and such high energy birds. Puck the one I have now is hand raised. I have found that every hand raised budgie I have had are loving but not Velcro birds like cockatiels and their cousins the Cockatoos. I after being heavily involved in bird rescue I encourage not to buy budgies from pet stores. They are no different than puppy mills. These bird mills raise them in small metal cages with no toys. Or in big aviaries. They don't care if there is in breeding. I have been called out to help with situations like this and it's horrible. You can find hobby breeders who don't hand raise and get a budgie for about 25. The one thing anyone should consider before getting a cockatiel is their feather dust. They are up there as one of the worst birds for causing allergies. If you have any compromised lung issues like asthma they are a bad choice. Budgies are much better.

I’m probably gonna go for a budgie

I think you should get a bugie becuse its more easier to take care of a little bird btw its me again lol

I don’t know what type of bird I want but I kind of want to cockatiels because I hear that they’re a little more like attached but but you can do that too so I’m not really sure

Hey! I have a budgie. He is one and a half year old, and I wonder if its too late to get a cockatiel for him? Do your birds get along? Do cockatiels and budgies normally go along? How is it to tame an aduldt cocatiel from a pet store? Edit: Some more questions, 😂 How can you tell if a cockatiel is boy or girl? Can a boy budgie be friends with a boy cockatiel? Thanks for really great content!?😃

Where I live my building manager only allows me to have 2 birds 🐦 at a time I have 2 keets chipper and Chico and I’m blessed with love from them both

I have both.. 4 budgies got from a pet store.. it's been like 2 months they have been with us.. they r really scared of hands still.. and i have a pied cockatiel.. i got him / her when he was like 14 days old.. i had handfed him since then.. and he's really the sweetest bird i had ever had.. he's pretty loud and a bit destructive to cables.. N my worst experience was with an Indian ringneck.. which was the 1st bird i got...🙂💔

cockatiel need taller cage or wider cage?

I have dust mite allegy, is it okay to have cockatiel

My cockatiel loves to lookout a window do yours look out windows

I bought 2 budgies in a pet store. I have had them a year and I still can't finger tame them. I'm still hoping some day they will get on my finger❤

Can you do a vid of how to train your bird to fly

Butifuls

JUST TELL ME WHICH ONE AND ILL GET ONE OF THEM plsssss So you mean hand raise budgie likes human and let human touch them? I mean, being too cuddly, it's good for me because I'm a teen lol

Hello!I’m thinking of getting a cockatiel,I have 2 budgies now.I was just wondering if you think the cockatiel would fight or harm the budgies?Love this video btw!!🥺

I will also buy one cockatiel and one budgie like you have I can not give proper time to them so I want to ask can they live together?

how old was pearl when you got her

If I get a budgie with mostly and and blue splashes everywhere I'm a name at Berry. If I get a full yellow. red checks cockatiel I am going to name it lemon.

I've had both and from my experience I enjoyed the small budgies most. The cockatiel was great but the budgie had way more personality. Budgies are -- mischievous, for lack of better word. The budgie would harass the cockatiel way more. If they were out together that budgie would, relentlessly tease the cockatiel. And no matter where the cockatiel flew to get away the budgie would follow. I would have to separate them to give the cockatiel a break. Once I separated them the budgie's attention would turn to me or any other human in the room. They will dance, chatter and kiss you like crazy. It was so funny to watch. Our budgie was so attached to all of us, that she would get so excited she would actually spit up food to try and feed us just as she would have done for a baby bird. If you leave baby with their mother, the mother will continue to feed the baby years after the baby is born. So, our budgie considered us her babies and she would try to feed us. She was especially attached to my husband, then boyfriend. Every time he came over she would harass him the way she harassed the cockatiel. She would dance and chatter and travel all over him. If he tried to eat she would try to get on his plate or on his shoulder to peck at the fork of food as he tried to eat. And God forbid if he shooed her away. That got her even more excited. It was insane. My mother wore glasses and if the budgie was out with my mother, she would sit on the arm of the eye glasses while my mother was wearing them; then chatter and sing to my mother. I had an Aunt that did not like birds and I swear the budgie knew it. When that Aunt would come over, the budgie would sit up on the curtain rod and get so quiet we would forget she was up there. Then once my mother and Aunt got deep into conversation the budgie would dive down from the curtain and skim over my Aunt's head in a fly by pass, making my Aunt scream, arms flaying. The budgie would get back up on the curtain rod and just squawk and chatter, bobbing her head like she was laughing. And she only did that to that Aunt. It was crazy. This budgie also loved to bathe to the point that if you sat with a glass of water she would dive down on you and into the glass spalshing water everywhere. If my mother was washing dishes (no dishwasher back then) and the budgie was on her eye glasses, as usual, she would either dive into the dishwater or into the empty side of the sink and get under the water spigot. Budgies are extremely hyper and they love playing with toys. They will carry small toys all over the house as they play and the will get very radical with the toys. Mine liked those little balls that look like cages -- you can see through them -- with a small bell inside. She would pick up one of those and literally throw it then chase after it and throw it again chattering and dancing the whole time. Needless to say, the budgie was quite entertaining and demanded your attention. I am sure not all of them are this way, but I hit on a good one. She was store bought, but never showed fear of us from day one, she bonded extremely quickly with us and so charismatic. The Cockatiel lived for about 20 years and the budgie lived for about 8 years -- which is a pretty good average. I kept other budgies over the years and each one had a different personality and each was so entertaining. I don't keep birds now, because I am old and do not have the time to care for them.

I have two cockatiels (both from pet store) i hand tamed them but presently i am having some trouble with there poop. They usually sit on my shoulders(while i am on my bed) and they poop. How can i handle this. What should i do

Can I keep two male budgies in the same cage? Answer needed fast plz!

i got a budgie a few hours ago :)

I have both budgies and a cockatiel

And I have a hand raised budgie he loves your videos and hearing pillow

If we ever get a bird, it would be when we move into a house since dad wants the bird to have an outside cage to be in on the summer- so no bird for me yet TwT

With my lil guys, I find my budgie Cookie bites harder than my cockatiel Gilbee. XD I've also had a female budgie named Jaki & she bit me so hard, she broke the skin. XD The most I've ever gotten from Gilbee is a peck & that felt more like he banged hsi beak on my fingers than a bite. XD And he only does that when he's got pin feathers around his head & wants skritches, but they hurt sometimes, no matter how gentle I am, cuz pin feathers. XD I actually got them both from the same pet store. It's a place that specializes in birds (that's all they have) & both were supposed to be hand tamed. Gilbee took to me right away & LOVES to sit on my shoulder. Cookie, however is afraid of hands & I wonder if that's cuz he was in a large glass sided bin with a ton of other budgies. XD He's got a flight cage with plenty of toys & doesn't come out as he tended to freak out whenever he had "escaped" while cleaning his cage & I think he's safer in there. Poor baby hit the wall last time he got out & went for a fly around the house. XD He was okay, in fact he wasn't stunned; he just fell in a place that made it easy to catch him. :D Both of my birds are in the den & they can see & hear each other & they love nature shows! :D tldr version: Gilbee', my 'tiel, is my cuddle bug who comes out & sits with me, while Cookie, my budgie, is happy in his cage. Also saw a comment about asthma & allergies & birds; just wanted to say I have bad asthma & an allergy to birds, yet I never had any issues with them. That said, check with your allergist & think about getting a bird like finches or a canary that while a companion animal, it stays in its cage. And with all the masks around wear one to clean out the cage. :D

I have a cockatiel and my family has had her for over 10 years now and she won’t let anyone touch or pet her because she has suffered with trauma in her past so she is afraid of hands and fingers, I don’t know what to do and I just want to get closer to her and to pet her for once😢😢💔

Yes remember vet bills can get expensive

Hello, I really need your help,my cocktail poked his eye with his nails,his nails were very long and his eye is bleeding alot and I don't know what to do I tried to clean the blood from his eye with a Q tip but it didn't work,and now he can't open his eye at all He is only 4/5 months old and I feel bad for him 😫

Hello i have 2 budgie and 3 cockatiels,my cockatiels hate being touched because their previous owner mistreated or treated them badly they have clipped wings and only one of them grew back again they only let themselves be helped when they fall out of the cage, they have been with me for 6 months and I have seen a bit of change in them they no longer itch as before they itched me and they did not let me go until I bled, I took them because I saw them so mistreated and with great fear,can someone please could give me advice to be able to gain their trust and let them be touch .🙏

if you want to know pearls gender look under his/her wings and tail after the first moult and the tail will have stripes and the wings will have dots if pearls a girl and the males will just be plain

You're not worried that it will go to the bathroom in your hair??!?!?! (This isn't my account)

Can you do a budgie or parrotlet

i got two blue and white budgies several weeks ago please comment if you have name ideas thank you!

I have six budgies but I want a cockatiel since my budgies don’t stay near me then like to fly around

In my area Cockatiels cost $450 and a Budgie is $39-$50

Make some more videos do the one where it says lovebirds versus cockatiels which one and I'll give you more likes

My parakeets are still scared and I had them for about 1 month

Early in getting both I did a lot of research I also know how u xan teach your birds tricks Yall already know the step up trick My command is swag but its known as eagle wings When your birds wings go up say your command say wings keep saying your command until they understand u and put uo there wings This trick is called flip Put your bird on a perch and use millet to get them used to being upside down soon u will be able to make them flip Now getting your bird to fly to your hand Just like the step up trick use millet to let them on your hand keep going farther and farther away from your bird then say come if he or she goes to your finger u have taught your bird the trick if not keep trying

I got a blue quaker parrot as my first bird. She’s a rescue and because of that she has some weird fears but she’s a friendly bird and she gave me the challenge I was looking for in a companion. I’m hoping to foster other parrots as a way to 1) get more experience with different birds and 2) help to maybe change the life of a bird for the better
