How can you tame your cockatiel?

Answer 1

The process of taming an adult parrot involves many, many things that can't all be put on this website. One would also need to have many, many more details from you on your particular bird as well as yourself in order to provide this information. I would recommend you research the many, many websites on the web, read bird-related magazines, etc., and/or find someone close to you (such as a breeder or other knowledgeable bird owner) to help you with this. The answer to your question isn't as simple as a short paragraph!

Answer 2

Wear thick leather gloves when handling him to show that his biting has no affect. Handle him often ( wings clipped ). Do not back off when he shows aggression ( the gloves will help with this, if you cannot be hurt by his biting then he does not get what he wants which is to be left alone ) After time and repeated daily handlings he will learn who is boss.

Cockatiels for sale by responsible breeders are hand fed which teaches them to accept and even crave human contact, yours was obviously aviary and parent bred so he actually is afraid of human contact.

You can train him but you will have to be pretty intense with it for a while, Hold him long enough for him to calm down and feed him his favorite treat while he is perched on your hand. Soon all you need to do is open the door and stick out your finger and he will climb on.

They love gold jewelry, "Cruiser" my male will sit forever playing with my wifes gold necklace, it is a great bonding activity and it calms them when they are upset. He will then climb on to her shoulder and go where ever she goes. ( you should not try the shoulder thing for a whole as you might get your ear bitten )

Answer 3

To tame a cockatiel, first keep it in a room where you spend a lot of time, so it will get used to you. Spend time talking to it and always move slowly when around the bird. Get as close to it as you can without frightening it, and continue to get closer until you can reach your hand in the cage without scaring the bird. Eventually it will learn it is safe to perch on your finger.

When feeding a bird you must always talking or whistle the same tone its own.

Gradually, you will see that your wild bird is getting to know you.

Just by holding the bird a lot and letting it go on your shoulders, but make sure you clip it's wings otherwise it'll probably fly away.
