Description Dingo, my cockatiel is singing his song
and makes the mirror clear that he is the man of the house



we have our new cockatiel Dingo now for almost 3 month
he's 4 years old and grew up in an other home with other people
now he's trying to get used to our daily life
finding out every spot in the room
and especially if it's bite-able
for now he will not come close to us
in a way he is tame, but he does'nt want to do anything with our hands, not even sit on our shoulders
it's hard for a bird who gave it's trust to someone else first and that suddenly he has other people around him who takes care of him now....

In the morning we let him out of his cage
he'll go back to his cage himself, cos that's where his food and water is
that always happens in the afternoon
then we shut his cage door
and he can make himself ready for the night

My birds used to do that a lot. They used to position their wings and start singing their strange song when they're really happy. They also become extremely friendly while doing this, and they would let anyone pet them. Also, if you notice, their wings are shaped like hearts. What a coincidence!


Oh yeah, and

No problem! The reason why I say "used to" is because one of them died last December shortly after he turned 16 years old. His name was Softer, and he was a yellowface.

I had them since 1997, but he was about a year old already. The other one, Coco, is a whiteface, and he's still hanging in there. He'll be 17 this December.

sorry about your tiel, to bad, i know all about losing a tiel, happened to me to, i still miss mine so badly, she's irreplaceable, she was always with me what ever i did, the whole day, and always wanting huggies she got the age of 6,5, some female tiels have an overproduction laying eggs, and that worn her out even the vet couldnt do anything about that
Still, we have this male tiel now, he's cute and also a pain in the butt, but he has a good life with us

Oh, je hebt een nieuwe Cockatiel he! Ziet er een lieverd uit hoor! Ik ben blij dat je een nieuwe vogel hebt. Ik heb mijn papegaai op moeten geven nadat ik in het ziekenhuis lag. Was best jammer, maar hij is best gelukkig met zijn nieuwe familie!

Snowflaky In reply to Elchanan [2012-05-24 18:51:03 +0000 UTC]

ja het is een lief manneke, maar hij wil nog niet graag bij ons zitten
dat komt met de tijd wel denk ik
ik hoop dat het beter met je gaat?
gelukkig dat je papagaai een goed onderkomen heeft gekregen

Ja, duurd altijd wel een beetje voor een vogel gewoon aan je wordt. Maar dat komt inderdaad wel met de tijd...

So this is an alpha-male kind of thing to do? I know my 'tiel does it all the time, but I figured that he'd know I was the one in charge of the roost...
