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

I bought Whiskey at a pet shop and she would not go in the cage but sat on my shoulder for the drive home. She loves me to take her out in the car and especially to visit the old peoples home to see my Father. I now have a second one, grey this time, and he is talking and whistling tunes.
