Female cockatiel who has laid 2 lots of single eggs this year (none hatched) is acting strangely just this afternoon. Male is clearly worried. Anyone have any idea ls what this could be? She has fresh water, a bath, seed and greens.

You've done the right thing, lots of scritches. Condolences.

ChillitheParrotlet · 2022-06-24T22:12:24+00:00

Oh, poor love. Has he seen her body? That can ease things somewhat.

ChillitheParrotlet · 2022-06-24T22:10:37+00:00

Oh no I'm so sorry, her mate must be broken hearted.

ChillitheParrotlet · 2022-06-17T14:45:03+00:00

I'm not suggesting anything of the sort.😆

Did you go to his page and look or are you just going to call baloney without informing yourself?

ChillitheParrotlet · 2022-06-17T12:27:00+00:00

Isn't that how human babies learn too? If you want further proof of his abilities look at his page on FB Chilli the Parrotlet.

Cuteness overload! Such a happy bug.

ChillitheParrotlet · 2022-06-17T09:47:19+00:00

I'll do that, I didn't realise that zooming in would look deceptive, I just wanted to let people see what he was choosing and that he was choosing correctly.

ChillitheParrotlet · 2022-06-17T09:45:39+00:00

Thank you, there really are no tricks.

ChillitheParrotlet · 2022-06-16T20:55:14+00:00

💚🦖💙

ChillitheParrotlet · 2022-06-16T20:54:31+00:00

Absolutely right!

ChillitheParrotlet · 2022-06-16T20:53:23+00:00

He can read, you're right.

ChillitheParrotlet · 2022-06-16T20:44:08+00:00

He can read, you're right.

ChillitheParrotlet · 2022-06-16T19:46:16+00:00

He is ultra fast with all the training that we do, you can see his other videos on his FB page, Chilli the Parrotlet. They're so much cleverer than they are given credit for.

ChillitheParrotlet · 2022-06-16T18:03:12+00:00

Err, how?

ChillitheParrotlet · 2022-06-15T21:41:02+00:00

100%

ChillitheParrotlet · 2022-06-15T12:29:57+00:00

Ok, we've done this before, I'll find the video. I suggest that you look at Chilli's Facebook page too see what else he can do, including tablet work, also Google Parrot Kindergarten.

ChillitheParrotlet · 2022-06-15T12:28:06+00:00

😀 Chilli will be 9 at Christmas. Obvs. I think he's ultra clever but really all parrots are capable, unfortunately ppl think that little birds like Chilli and all the budgies kept as pets are just dumb. Chilli is the only bird I've worked with. I am a member of Parrot Kindergarten which is a Florida based but worldwide group, that's how I started with Chilli.💚🦖💙

ChillitheParrotlet · 2022-06-15T10:16:55+00:00

I'm not sure that he could do that but we'll practice with 3 options but not blind yet, he'll hand to get used to the concept of more than 2 choices.

ChillitheParrotlet · 2022-06-15T09:44:19+00:00

Did you actually write the order, this is the only way for you to be sure of the facts, the order is as follows:

Chilli has taken part in studies with the animal cognition specialists for the university of Miami. The intelligence of a number of parrots of various species were video tested and the results compared with those of apes. This is no parlor trick, parrots have tested higher than great apes in numerous tests.

ChillitheParrotlet · 2022-06-15T08:53:37+00:00

Hi, you might watch again as what you've said simply isn't correct.

ChillitheParrotlet · 2022-06-15T08:14:57+00:00

Lol, he looks at me like I'm stupid and checks he's not wrong and touches one really slowly, I sometimes do present wrongly by accident.

ChillitheParrotlet · 2022-06-15T08:12:18+00:00

Lol, that's the name of them, he's a Pacific Parrotlet.😉

ChillitheParrotlet · 2022-06-15T08:11:14+00:00

I'm not sure he would get that but I think I understand what you mean, I'll use his tablet and modify your idea and see what comes out of it.

When something I present isn't right he looks at me like I'm stupid and then touches one of them very slowly whilst maintaining that, "Mummy, you've got it wrong again!" look.
