Cockatiel question?

Congrats, you have a masturbating cockatiel! Its perfectly normal, and in fact healthy. Unless he becomes obsessed with it that is. My lovebird does about 2 times a week or so.

i admire all forms of cockatiels. I very own the conventional gray ones, albino ones and pied one and a few pied yellow chop up ones. they are all stunning of their very own way. I very own 12 cockatiels and characteristic remarkable now 10 eggs and 3 little ones.

He/she is masturbating. I am serious...I've had birds for 30 plus years and they all exhibit this behavior from time to time. I have a had cockatiels that use their bells and toys and now, I have a linnie who uses various food items.

Your cockatiel is very normal. Since he has no mate he is doing his thing on the perch.

LOL!! CUTE!! First, if he whistles a tune, it's a boy, if it kinda cherps, it's a girl. Sounds like you have a little case of birdy heat on your hands. He/She is, is ah,,,well,, you might need battiers in that pearch!! You might say that pearch is their date!! LOL! He's fine just working out the kinks, LOL!!

all the other answers are correct, but as soon as posible it's important that you provide him of a couple and you take him to a veterinary to verify all is well

My Rainbow Lory does this, I have been told he is trying to mate.

hes wanting to mate nothng wrong with him mine does that all the time

I would have the bird checked for parasites. Could be he has lice or something.

He's masterbating.
