I moved my cockatiel while decorating the other day and he went crazy making the same soundas yours so i put him back where hes always been and after about an hour he settled, but at the time i was so frightened i thought he was sceaming in pain , i looked it up and found they dont like to be moved and he was panicing, but he was all over the cage like yours and making the same sound i also read they dont like anything moved in there cage either lol worse than pups i think

A balders update! I think I might call him Beaker instead. If those of you that have a tiel have seen them head on when they're chattering it's a spitting image moment>>>>>>>

Yes I have no life ...as promised a vid of Balders/Beacker at mid noise level!

YouTube - 001

You might notice little 'hello' noises in there, I don't normally say that to him but seeing as it sounded like hello I've been encouraging him. As for the barking/donald duck noises who knows lol The brrrrrr noise I hope is from me. I started doing that to him the day I got him.





And this vid -me messing about-- is why I think he was a dog in a former life!! (The whistlings me dad in the background) to round it off my little girl saying 'He's not a dog he's a bird!'

Ok, it's me YET again.

Balders is still doing a rather good dog impression!

He's started going "Grrrr ruff, grrrr ruff" lol and his little barking thing in the other vid I had. He's sounds like he's whining like a dog too. I don't have a dog, the one next door is basically silent and the only other one that barks is across the road and you only hear it on rare occasions. He's only about 7 months old, I'm just curious to know if anyone else has a bird that makes these noises?

I realise they all have there own personalities, I don't really watch anything regularly on TV with dogs on and I don't listen to the radio. It's really puzzling me!

He sounds just fabulous.
I have a baby cockatiel that I am hand rearing because her parents rejected her. She is just over 4 weeks old now and starting to find her voice, you get the occasional tweet every now and then, plus her personality is really starting to shine through. I can't wait for her to be old enough to come and sit with us in the lounge during the day.

Lol I thought I'd been left alone in this thread!

Believe me, make the most of the occasional tweet. Balders is a right noisy so and so when he gets going!

His aim in life is to be out of the cage and to be with me 24/7; don't get me wrong it's sweet, but it's a nightmare when your trying to get things done. If I put him down and move so much as 2 feet away he flies over onto my back or head!

He's still not singing yet but he's got the head bobbing and "hoo hoo hoo" to go along with it to a 'T'.

Then again I keep saying 'HE' but if or when he lays an egg, that's the label little Balders is stuck with.

Have you got any pictures of your Birdy yet? How old is it?
Make sure you post them!

I've put some pics in my profile. My OH whistles to Peanut when he is feeding her and she definitely responds to that by tweeting. I try but I can't whistle so she just looks at me in a very bemused fashion. In about a week or so, she should be okay to take out of her brooder and be put in a cage during the day and I am really looking forward to spending time with her.
