What’s a good step up from a parakeet?

Question by Brett: What’s a good step up from a parakeet?
Well, I am not planning on getting rid of my parakeet I just got him not to long ago and he already lets me pet him and stuff. Except, he only goes on my finger if I really push at him and I hate thinking I’m hurting the poor guy. Anyway, I was wondering what is a good step up from a parakeet? I know, I just got my little guy and I tend to do a lot more with him. But, I have no “latest gadget” I need this Christmas, and I have never asked for an animal for Christmas. And yes, I know Christmas is far away, but I like to beg my parents early . Last, last Christmas I asked my parents for Squakers Macaw witch is a really stupid toy parrot. But I want a real bird. I hear that parakeets are a good starter bird, and honestly they really are. Then, what would be next is my main question here I need to get talking about. What is a good step up from a small parakeet? I was thinking a Cockatiel, you know the birds with the mo-hawk. They cost 50$ a lot more than a parakeet, so that would be a good Christmas price (including cage, treats, toys etc.) But, I would need a healthy one. I have found out the hard way, most pet store parakeets are not very healthy. I got lucky with my third one have now. Well, at least I hope I’m lucky and this guy dies the right way, old age.

Okay, well I am sick of typing and I bet your sick of reading so let me finish this up, and I hope you’ll answer accurately, nicely, and I hope you answer it with personal experience if you can. That would be best.

I was thinking of some type of Conure also those are very pretty and there are all different types of them I am aware of. My mom had a Sun Conure but I can’t remember what kind.

So Cockatiel and Sun Conure, compare them in noise, messiness, kindness, tameness, and price. Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (Ps. If Conure, what kind of Conure like sun? etc. I will research the types of Conures or, I might go with Cockatiel.

Thank you.
Oh lol, I mean my mom had some type of Conure, and I don’t know what kind.

I did not mean “My mom has a Sun Conure and I don’t know what kind” Haha.
***Edit 2*** “Compare Sun Conure and Cockatiel.” I mean compare any Conure type or Conures in general. Sorry I was thinking of Sun Conures when I typed that…

I own 2 cockatiels, and they are wonderful. One I tamed after getting him third hand from abusive owners, and that took a lot of work, but he’s tamed now. The other I bought hand-fed and he is happy, cuddly, and sweet. Cockatiels in general are very socialble yet self-entertaining, and they make wonderful pets. They love to be played with and held. Most males love to sing, and they’ll make up their own tunes as well as imitate others they hear. Females are quieter. Very rarely one will learn speech. I highly recoment cockatiels.

how do I get my cockatiels to try new fruits and vegetables, and also to step up on my finger?

Question by tiel: how do I get my cockatiels to try new fruits and vegetables, and also to step up on my finger?
I just bought 2 new cockatiels, so I’m a new “mum” to them. I believe they have been seed fed, as I am not having any trouble getting them to eat the cockatiel seed mix. I am in the process of mixing seed with pellets to try to change them over to pellets as their main staple for food. I understand that the pellets are nutritionally complete, but it has been recommended to me that they should also eat greens, veggies and fruits. They don’t seem to want to eat their veggies and fruits at all. They’re being quite stubborn about this. Yet they love the honey seed bars. I wondered if it would be alright to try them on baby food fruit and veggies to see if they like the consistency better than the cut up pieces. I would use a food with no added salt, sugar or preservatives of course. I also do not know where to begin with handling them. I think they are still a little nervous about their new surroundings. Anyone have any tips or advice for this new “mum”? Thanks!

Yeah, it can take a really long time for my birds to change from one diet to another. The longest conversion attempt I’ve heard of was something like 6 years. Suddenly one day the bird decided that pellets weren’t that bad and not its the only thing he’ll eat ^.^ . Luckily for most birds it takes a bit less – about a month – to switch from seeds to pellets. You may want to try nutriberries and avicakes which blend pellets and seeds together. The birds gets used to the feel and look of a different food yet has the benefit of pellets.

Another extreme measure someone uses is dumping the seed into baby food. The bird may not eat the baby food itself as it gets to the seeds but the baby food is goop enough that even a little gets into the bird. The bird’s owner says that some goop and lots of waste is better than nothing ^.^

Expect a lot of waste. You’ll go through weeks of ignored veggies. Some folks have had success leaving pellets in the cage all day then putting in their bird’s regular food in the eve. The bird may be hungry during the day and it may get hungry enough to nibble the pellets.

Whatever happens, good luck!

Training a Cockatiel “Step Up”

this is how you train a cockatiel to step up. This also works for lovebirds, and other birds as well. Many people have asked why doesn’t their canary/finch step up Respond: Finches, canaries are not suppose to step up. Although for odd reasons finches are near the price of parakeets, and canaries are expensive. They don’t step up. They just make you bored out of your mind except if really enjoy watching your bird fly around.

My cockatiel bites at me when I ask it to step up or I touch it , how can I curb this behavior?

When I just got him he was pretty docile. He’d step up and be around me. But not really ever let me pet him or anything. I’ve been feeding him treats taking care of him. Giving stuff he likes. He takes millet from me but won’t step up on my hand for it. My cockatiel also hates being petted. Is there anything I can really do?
