I am after a companion bird. I already own an indian ringneck, they will be kept completely seperate. I cant make my mind up wether I want a budgie or a cockatiel, all I know is that i need one that will be easy to tame, and i can spend a lot of time with. thankyou.
I came home this morning and he has cut both of his wings somehow. He is bleeding a decent amount but I don't think he is in immediate danger. The problem is he is a brand new bird, within a week, and I don't know what I can do to clean him up and get a closer look. Should I overly stress him...

YES, I know this is a sign of illness, he was taken promptly to the vet and given antibiotics which I'm administering twice daily and his large cage is being kept in absolutely pristine condition.
For the last two days, my cockatiel's droppings have been sticking to his vent feathers. He's very...
My cockatiel is normally very sweet and well behaved. However, we recently moved, and we were so busy that he didn't get as much attention as he was used to. One day, he figured out that if he screamed very loudly, we would rush over to try and quiet him. I know that this wasn't the right thing...
The other night when I got home from school, I noticed that my cockatiel's left ear was exposed. It looked like the orange feathers were just situated in a way that is was uncovered, so I tried to move them back to cover the ear. However, it will not go back. The ear is NOT red or irritated...
Hi. I have lots of cockatiels and there is one couple who have laid two eggs. One of the eggs is broken for some reason but there was one intact one. I have been watching the box where the eggs are and a budgie has taken over their box! And the poor egg was just sitting in the corner of the box...
My cockatiel likes me but bites me sometimes and bites other people a lot, to the extent that nobody in my family really likes him except me. How to I get him to be a bit friendlier?
I put some food up to my cockatiels (1-2 months old) beak and it started to tap my fingers and sqeak. what does this mean? his crest was not up so he wasnt afraid.
I've had a cockatiel called Stewie now for about 6 months and hes the sweetest bird you could imagine, hes always been really good, he was first stood on my finger within three days of getting him and he was a parent-reared baby, so this shows clearly that he can adapt well. Though desite these...
...return? We were taking fireworks outside to put in his car, and his stepdad was bringing more out when she slipped out the door. It was very windy and she tried to turn around to land somewhere near the house, but the wind just blew her farther away and I could see she was a long ways away...
I'm saving up to buy a bird, and I already have twice as much as I need to buy a parakeet starter kit, but if I can, I really want to buy a cockatiel. Could someone tell me what to expect for prices on these birds? I'll buy a parakeet if I can't afford one, but my hopes are becoming increasingly...
A cockatiel crashed into my window and then it flew up to a pole in my garden. I really think it is a pet cockatiel! What do i dO! it is freezing outside! i left some seed and water by my window seal where it crashed so i hope it will go back there and eat and get a drink but so far it hasn't...
