Bird Chatter!

also like i said that i might be getting a cockatiel. if i get one from a breeder a young one (3 ish months) how long will it take for the bird to like me? i mean like being tame and wanting to cuddle and learn new things. because ofcourse it's cage will be right next to my laptop which i spend more than 9 hours per day and also studying and stuff. and i would also talk to it for hours probably.

i think it depends on the bird and how they are raised. some birds are lovey right when you meet then, others may take some time. my two were very friendly when i got them. Connor was from a pet store and would lean his back up against the cage for petting. Skittles is from a breeder and she too was very loveable. but there are a lot of birds from pet stores and such that are very shy and they can take a lot of work.

hand raised birds are generally much friendlier than parent raised. parent raised tend to be shy and not very trusting right off but hand raised birds are used to the interaction at an early age. make sure the bird you are getting has been hand raised and tell the breeder that you would like a friendly bird. they should work with you =)

I don't know much about taming birds. DJ was really sweet already when I got her but I'm still trying to get Elvis more used to me. Luna lets you hold and pet her but she's still kind of aggressive. But like MaineiacJay said I think it mostly depends on how they're raised and treated.

Your favorite type of bird~
Not sure -- I like all kinds of birds. But I think lovebirds are really cute. :3

Birds you have/want~
I have a pair of budgies -- one sky-blue dilute female named Ariadne, and a normal male named Apollo. I'd love to get a lovebird some day, or maybe a conure.

How long have you owned birds~
I got Ariadne in June, so only about five months.

Here are some (blurry) pictures of my budgies. (:
