Cockatiel singing with a styrofoam plate on its head - General

[QUOTE=ironman17;45834167]Ok, where was this filmed, the gates of Hell? The sounds there are that of freakin' hellspawn, man.[/QUOTE] It's actually a compilation of videos found in this thread. [url]http://facepunch.com/showthread.php?t=1240155[/url]

My parents are avid avian enthusiasts. They own over 150 birds, including finches, lovebirds, budgies, cockatiels, sun conures, african greys, you name it. It's always a little insane visiting them and walking into a fucking zoo right in the front door. One of the african greys, Maynard, they adopted lived with an older gay couple for over 30 years. My dad says that sometimes when he stays up late, Maynard will wake up and start moaning and grunting for hours on end.

My cockatiel just stares at me across the room all day and plans my demise. He gets really sad and depressed when I'm gone or so I'm told so maybe its just an act.

I'm fucking dying..hahaha. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a1fA9Wf0elg[/media]

This is what turian parents have to put up with, I imagine.

Seriously get a cockatiel it's the best pet/companion i've ever had. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jc10PzMBhOI&list=UUbABj8p1FUc1NPih-in3NEA[/media] He doesn't master the song yet, but he's getting there.

Not really a cockatiel but it's still a cock :v: [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A43JOxLa5MM[/media]

[QUOTE=Devodiere;45833019]I wish my Cockatiel was as cute as this. Mine only knows two tricks, chirping like a car alarm to wake me up early, and plucking feathers when it doesn't get enough attention.[/QUOTE] Get him trained like your house alarm and you're set for easy home security. :v:

[QUOTE=LoneWolf_Recon;45836765]Get him trained like your house alarm and you're set for easy home security. :v:[/QUOTE] Shit, my old one practically was. He'd always screech at people when they come to the door, and he could somehow tell before they even knocked

I have two lovebirds and I'm actually really tempted to get a cockatiel. It's a shame lovebirds are so territorial, I'm afraid they may clash too often.

might as well post all my favorite bird videos [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jH2Uy974TYU[/media] [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dvRzAUNlXt0[/media] [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D25iWCmoct0[/media] [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uYgC1bN02MI[/media] [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AaI6SWfDnTc[/media] [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mALNyHFqw14[/media] [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5UqoN9wnwyw[/media] i have a huge fascination for tropical birds

[QUOTE=Funion;45832220]that bird on the left is vibrating out of control[/QUOTE] There's a reason they are called "Quakers".

One of my favorites [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cpDwlt_zAM8[/media]

this is why birds are best pets meanwhile i have cats and the only trick they will ever know is how to devour massive amounts of food in no time and sleep

[QUOTE=Ownederd;45830508][media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vwO-EZkIcFk[/media] Real footage of a living audio sampler.[/QUOTE] It took me 30 seconds to realize that the bird was doing that and not the guy holding the camera.

All these fucking birds. Shame I can't get one cause my cats will just rip it apart.

mod pls change title to bird megathread users pls post more birds

We should really have a bird owner thread on facepunch or at least a pet owner one.

I used to have a Cockatiel. We taught her all kinds of tunes. Unfortunately she caught a cold and died.

My grandma had a parrot that had perfected imitating the door chime, door slowly but creakingly opening and the telephone ring. You can imagine the confusion that this bird could sow among us :v:

we had two indian ringneck parakeets and they didn't do any of this shit one of them is just a royal dick and will attempt to bite you no matter how far away from you she is. i've seen her stuff her face through the cage in desperate attempts to bite fingers off, and she'll start shaking her face violently along the length of the cage as if trying to break through they're DICKS and they SCREECH and have no redeeming qualities 0/10 birds

This thread reminds me of the time I teached my neighboor's grey parrot to wistle the Lost Woods theme from Ocarina of Time. At least the first few notes :v:

I need a bird. I NEEEEED A BIIIRRRRDDD

This reminds me of my cockatiel that I had for like 2 months before it died. It was my first bird, I'd never owned one before. Seemed to be eating fine and all that, found it dead on the bottom of its cage in the morning. I've heard that sicknesses are hard to detect in birds, but I still have no idea what happened.
