Hi everyone, I am almost 13, and have 10 birds! I have, 2 rosey Bourkes, 2 parakeets, and the rest cockatiels.

I am currently trying to tame a 2 year old boy cockatiel. He's very nippy, and needs something to chew on at all times! I have a feeling he was neglected by his other owner.. they only fed him seed. He was stuck in a little cage for his life, too.

They thought he was mean, but they didn't know that. And guess what? when they showed up to give him to us, he was in a cardboard BOX! They just didn't take the time to work with him. My stepdad (Hes nice,) was bitten 2 times VERY hard because he is too rough with him. this birdie hates him, and shakes like a earthquake when he gets near him. he only likes me! yahoo

I am very gentle with him, and I let him sit on my shoulder alot, too. He opens his wings and starts getting anxious and looks like, "I am going to bite you, and not hold back!!" to anyone that comes 7 feet away. He opens his mouth and hisses at them, too. But not with me! I let him preen my hair, run up and down my arm, I let him preen his feathers on my shoulder, everything. He likes rubbing his head on my face, too. He's very ansey of my hand...

Today, I was holding him, and I was deciding what to name him. I was planning to name him Nova, because he was trying to say it when I spoke to him. (He talks to me on my shoulder, and whistles to me.. But just not anyone else Razz) But, I found out that my stepdad already named him Falcore.... what type of name is that?? Nova hates him! Why does he wanna name him? We are breeding cockatiels, and are getting like, 4 more pairs of bourkes or cockatiels. He could just name one of those! Razz

Anyways, nice to meet you all!

Welcome to Paradise Skippy! It's fun being loved by a bird who doesn't love anyone else, isn't it? It sounds like you're doing a good thing with Nova. Just be patient with him; after all, two years of being unhappy may take a while to get over.

There are lots of people here who own cockatiels and a few who breed them. They may have some good advice for you!

We're happy to have you!

Welcome Skippy!

How wonderful that you're being so patient to tame a 2 year old tiel - those bites can HURT!

Falcor is the dragon from the movie, "The Neverending Story" - the name might be slightly appropriate in your step dad's mind Very Happy

I'm so incredibly jealous! You have no idea! Australian keets are my favorite.

I can't wait to see pictures and hear updates.
