Why is My Cockatiel So Noisy and How to Stop It?

If your cockatiel is being excessively noisy, it could be due to reasons such as being in heat or feeling lonely. It's recommended that owners consider finding a mate for their cockatiel or spending more quality time with it to curb the excessive vocalizations.

What To Do When Your Cockatiel Is Too Loud

Cockatiels are generally considered to be relatively quiet birds. If your cockatiel has recently become very noisy, the first thing to consider is whether it’s entering its breeding season. A male cockatiel in heat will make a calling sound to attract females. Female cockatiels in heat will also vocalize but with shorter calls. During this time, cockatiels may also be more irritable. If you intend to breed your cockatiel, it would be best to find it a suitable mate and prepare a breeding box for them.

Sometimes, cockatiels will vocalize frequently when they're happy. They also call out when they feel lonely. In these cases, it’s recommended that owners spend more time playing with their cockatiels and interacting with them. Additionally, if you are worried that your cockatiel's morning calls are disturbing your neighbors, you can cover its cage with a dark-colored cloth, which will help it rest more quietly. This will help in managing your cockatiel’s noise issues.

Do Baby Cockatiels Make Noise?

Yes, baby cockatiels do make noise. They produce a hissing or sucking sound when they’re hungry, letting you know that they want food. This is because their vocal organs are not yet fully developed, which is why they make that distinct sound. Usually, this feeding sound stops when they are almost two months old. Young cockatiels need careful care. A one-month-old cockatiel can be fed semi-liquid food, like formula or millet soaked in water, with added bone powder and crushed nutritional pellets. Food should be around 38-40°C. Remember, understanding your cockatiel’s behavior is key to managing their noise levels and ensure their well-being. By addressing potential triggers like loneliness or breeding season, you can improve your relationship with your feathered friend and keep the noise to a minimum. Consistent interaction and a comfortable environment are key in ensuring a happy and healthy cockatiel.Don’t miss out on this:Pet Breeding
