I have a 2 year old white faced cockatiel who is very sweet. I figured out that his favorite place to be petted is right on the back of his neck! i love him and he loves the family. He is very nice to kids, and if i could pick another bird it would be another white faced cockatiel! Sam (toucan sam) my little white faced cockatiel is the best!!!!

I have had my grey, Puck, for almost 13 years now. She was my very first bird, and I had to learn the art of taming her, as she was nasty when I first got her. Within two weeks of taming, she was bonding to me nicely.

I must agree that she has been the best pet I have ever had. The love and affection she shows is unsurpassed. I love to come home and hear her happily chirping for my arrival. She tends to get clingy, as I call it, when I am sitting on the sofa, working on the laptop, she will climb down her cage and stroll over to be picked up.

I know the day will come when I lose her, but, I cannot picture life without her. She is an awesome bird, and I love her to death!

I have a Normal Grey Cockatiel. He is so adorable and he talks and whistles! He says 'prettybird' 'Baby?' "Peek-a-boo!' and he actually plays it sometimes! Says 'helloo' He says a lot of things and he also does the 'wolf whistle.' Don't buy a bird if you just want it to talk. Research! I would recommend a Cockatiel as a first time bird!

I own a grey tiel named Foster. I think hes a boy; he talks and whistles alot. He is about 6 years old, and a very good companion. Ive taught him to say prettty bird and whistle the charge song in baseball. These birds are intelligent and a great pet.

I have a cockatiel and he is just adorable. he gets in his own cage when he is hungry. He will kiss your lips because he loves you. he loves kids. He will make cute sounds too when his cage is open and he is still in there, he will wait until we come and get him. He will also sleep on us. When he gets left out because we go somewhere, as soon as we come home he will just start making sounds to great you.

My grandmother has kept various birds over the years: finches, lovebirds, parakeets, and grey cockatiels just to name a few. By far the tiels were my absolute favorites. She has two, Misty Rain and Tammie Lynn, and they are just about the sweetest things you have ever seen! Misty especially. She is an older bird (almost 20) with a very sweet and tame disposition. Tammie is younger (about 8) and she is by far the more rambunctious. However, "Tamtam" as she is lovingly called, lays EGGS constantly!! My grandmother assumed that when she bought Tammie that she, like Misty, would not be an egglayer, but she lays eggs faithfully. They are very intelligent birds though and probably the cleanest of the many birds my grandmother has cared for. I am actually thinking of getting a tiel myself. It is between one of the baby tiels that my cousin is going to breed or a pretty little purple parakeet. I just cannot decide. I am leaning toward the tiels however; cleaner.

I have had my bird for only 5 months. Though he is 13 years old and fully trained, he became hard to handle after a dog attacked him and now he has become nice. He hangs out with my 2 parakeets Scotty and Reggie.

I have a Lutino cockatiel. his name is Sunshine and he will be 22 years old in 2 months. I believe he is a male because of his tremendous whistling ability (he does the Beatles Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da and the Pink Panther theme). He does not talk, but he can do a varity of tricks and can mimic sounds and verbal expressions as if talking, so he tries. He is a true joy. Cheri
