I saw someone else post an intro to their cockatiels and thought it was a good idea!

This is captain! He is 7 months old as of last week and he’s a pearl pied. I haven’t done a dna test but his pearls are starting to come out and he’s very chatty(he kisses me and laughs every so often) He loooooooves head rubs buts sometimes gets very moody and rapidfire bites my finger! He loves dried corn and peas, and will die for dried chili peppers. The breeder clipped his wings when he was born without asking when he was little but they’re growing back fast!

I just thought it’s interesting to see others birds, so I did the same!

Hi Captain, so nice to meet you!

Thanks for sharing his story. What a handsome guy. I’m sure you’re looking forward to the day that he can fly. I hope his feathers molt soon.

Captain looks great... I get the rapid fire bites too sometimes. It's their ways of saying that you are doing something wrong (necking rubbing the wrong way or something) don't take it as a negative thing since it is more of a birdie feedback.

You might be right about that statement. My female does the rapid pecks when she wants the neck rub, where as the male just plops his head in front of my hand.
