Look what I can do!!

Mistress sure takes a long time to post something! To her credit, though, she does have a lot to do.

Have you ever wondered just what a cocketiel can do? Well, we can do a tremendous amount!

Oh the joys of whistling! Teach us the right song, not too long, and eventually we'd learn it. Careful, though, one at the time, else we'll get confused!

'Tiels are pretty good at copying sounds. Click your tongue, and we'll mimic. (yick, even kissing sounds) Whistle, and we'll do it too! Sounds of all kinds are fun for us, especially the interesting ones. All you have to do is teach us.

I confess, I don't really like this one, but it makes Mistress happy. What she does is stick her finger right in front of my feet (a little higher) then whistles a high note. She's telling me to step up on her finger. (Usually that means she's going to put me back in my cage.)


I like this one! Mistress knocks on a table, and I follow by knocking my beak on whatever I'm standing on!


I'm potty trained.


Yes, we do get tired. When I get tired, I automatically go back home. (To my cage)


Some of these examples vary. Some 'tiels may preform these tricks, others may not. It all depends on the way we were taught, and the talents we were given.
