Curiousity

[Diana88]

Well... I think that everybody is curious when something is happening. But not like this! Every time when I'm doing something she must see everything. She stares from her cage and chirps twice like a car alarm. It makes me laugh everytime. And I told her that someday she will fall down if she will stare like that. Here are some photos of my tiel staring when I have some work to do. And I want to know if your tiels are doing the same?

Oh yes!! I know that look all to well Tiels can be quite nosy and Squeeky is on the top of that list lol.

LOL I don't have a cockatiel but those are so cute of your nosy tiel!

 

[Janie]

Those are hysterical. Laser beam stares

 

[Patricia]

She is lovely

 

[atvchick95]

She is just a typical Tiel' nosy lil' boogers

but that is what makes them one of the easier birds to get to try new foods, Eat in front of them - the curiosity kills them and they come down to steal your food LOL

this also helps with taming - got 2 of ours to like being handled by letting them "sneak" my food off my plate

they really thought they were being sneaky too , they'd fly over and land on the back of the couch , then slowly walk down my arm, if i moved they either stopped or ran back up on the back of the couch LOL then they'd venture down take a piece of food and hop over to the arm of the couch and eat it LOL

i love the first shot - she is so intent on what she is watching!!

 

[Diana88]

She is doing this all the time. And everytime when I'm going in the room or I have something in my hand she chirps twice. Like I told you, like a car alarm I don't know why is she doing like that, especially when I coming with an object, then she chirps. I think that it's like when you get an email and the computer announces you

Yup, my two do it too, Sam more than Jack though. If Sam is at the bottom of the cage eating (we don't do food bowls) and see's me walk by she runs over as fast as she can to see what I'm doing. Such goofs. Your pictures are perfect.

hehe, cute pictures! My cockatiels do the same thing, haha!

 

[Skyler]

What great pics that perfectly capture the adorable curiousity of tiels. Dusty for all his fear and shyness has to watch almost everything near him and especially in his cage. The only one more "nosy" is my budgie Skyler--he is always clinging to the sides if the cage to watch everyone and everybirdie. He also keeps track of whose turn it is for cage out time!!

 

[Annie]

Hmm I haven't noticed Casper being that nosy yet.. but perhaps he is when I'm not looking. Jasper on the other hand, lovie, is always in my face!!!

 

[Babybreau]

Kessie isn't that nosy but when she wants something she paces back and forth in front of the door to the cage...lol

 

[Anne & Gang]

she sure is pretty!

 

[Iris]

Yep mine do the same things. I think its there way of getting my attention. That is a gorgeous cockatiel.

My Munchkin has that stare several times a day, he takes in everything, Liberty does too but she has more of a laid back stare, so you don't know whe is doing it, they are smart birdies..
