Peary & Peaches
My cockatiel pair, Peary and Peaches. I've heard good and bad about cockatiels but so far the experience has been very rewarding. They were afraid of me at first but now they're warming up and have learned to take food from me, step up and ride on my shoulder. They have such big personalities in small parrot bodies. I couldn't be happier
My sweet boy Peary
and darling little Peaches ("Peachy")
They've practically taken over the place since they hate being in their cage. They're out all the time.

Beautiful Birds, love the pictures.
Peaches, is absolutely gorgeous.
It sounds like you've been really working with them, and it shows

They can definitely be a hassle especially if they're not hand tame to begin with. Tell me about your experience with them?

Re: Peary & Peaches
Well mine wasn't tame at all and when I got him home he wouldn't eat for two days nor drink and eveytime I opened to door he would hiss at me even when I would sit with him and talk quietly he would just open his mouth and keep hissing after few days he was still the same and only eaten a tiny bit so I tried feeding him in my hand and he tried to bite me haha so I thought I'll give him about another week and see if he's changed, anyway he didn't so I ended up returning

Re: Peary & Peaches
I have had good and bad experiences with cockatiels.
They do much better and are better mannered with a companion in my experience.
Yours are beautiful and look very well cared for, just one thing to watch is that they will chew anything when they get nesty, and mine gnawed four chunks out of my plaster walls one morning, each hole big enough to put their head into. All day free ranging had to stop that day.

Re: Peary & Peaches
They always want to be included at every meal and here they each claim a sandwich
Fraza
Yeah, it's a whole different story with an untamed one, especially if it's an adult already. Peaches came to me completely untamed, but since she was only 2 months old, she settled in within a week and now eats from my hand and steps up on my finger. I find they learn a lot by example. Peaches sees that Peary is okay with me and takes food from me so she's also warmed up to me.
Sheather
I've noticed they've definitely love chewing. So far the only casualty at my place is my one house plant. I have a lot of toys for them around the room, ropes, wood and cardboard so they seem satisfied.

Re: Peary & Peaches
Sheather Oh goodness! That is just nasty! Almost like my lab... Chewed a hole in the drywall that she could fit everything up to her shoulders in... That hole started as a cat door that she could barely fit her head through.
I currently own:
An Australian shepherd
Many chickens
4 goats
A cat
And a bunny
