Cockatiels

My Ciri being a goof

This is Sunny. Unfortunately she flew away about a year ago. Last spotted hanging out with a flock of galahs. But absolutely refused to return when called. Silly derp. 😢 Much sadness was had. But remembered as a cheeky little chicken.

Like I said in the last photo, he's a clever boy. We've been playing all the youtube tielfluencer videos to him and he can imitate a few of them. Here's him singing the cookie song.

My cockatiel took a fall from the top of the fridge and isn't adjusting his wing in place properly. This is relatively common for him given he is somewhat clumsy so I wasn't too worried at first, but it's been a couple of hours and by now he would have notmally sorted it out already. I'm having second thoughts and thinking that maybe I should go to the vet, but all the ones that treat birds are closed. Am I overthinking things?

Here is a video:

Edit update: Birb's okay. He is a dingus and it was just sprain. ty all for the help :)

He's a very clever boy.

How Marty lost his tail:

About a month ago, we were evacuated from our home because of wildfires. I wasn’t home when the evacuation order was given. I wasn’t allowed to go home to get my birds. Police officers kicked my door in around 1:30am that night and retrieved my birds! In the scuffle, Marty’s tail was ripped out.

Here’s my previous post about their rescue, if you’re curious.

I'm thinking about adopting a cockatiel As of right now I'm taking care of a little sparrow unable to fly from a friend of mine It awakened some bird love inside of me, and I did find cockatiels really cute and easy to get

So any advice about them, on a daily basis, what should I know before hand, what not to do, what should I prepare for, etc Would be very appreciated, thanks!

Ciri was found on a neighbor's balcony one morning, after a night of fireworks, The neighbor called me, knowing I had birds. I picked her up and set her up in a backup cage, and began posting ads online and sending info to the local vets. After years of looking, I never found her owners. She has been bonded to me since the moment I picked her up, and won't leave my side, always whistling and wondering what I'm up to. She's the princess of the house now, and I wish her old family could know that she's being loved. ❤️

They ate out of my hand for the first time today.
