In their native Australia, cockatiels live in flocks, where contact calls are crucial to alerting others in the flock if a predator is too close for comfort. No doubt, there are many other vocalizations going on in a wild cockatiel flock \u2014 from happy foraging sounds to \u201cYes, you can perch here,\u201d and \u201cDid you hear that?\u201d chirps and squawks.<\/p>\n<p>Parrots typically are most vocal at sunrise and sunset, including cockatiels. However, that doesn\u2019t mean a pet cockatiel will not vocalize intermittently throughout the day. In fact, a happy, playful cockatiel will not check the clock to see if it is chirp or whistle time. Male cockatiels, in particular, are inclined to burst into a whistle song when the mood hits them, especially if they spy their reflection in a mirror or other reflective object like a lacquered vase; but that doesn\u2019t mean they won\u2019t whistle a song to just themselves or to you. Below\u00a0are some common cockatiel sounds and a brief explanation of what cockatiel noises mean.<\/p>\n<h2>The Cockatiel Contact Call: \u201cWhere\u2019d you go?!\u201d<\/h2>\n<figure id=\"attachment_30043\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-30043\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-30043\" src=\"https:\/\/lafeber.com\/pet-birds\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/cockatiels-px-3342853-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"three cockatiels on branch\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lafeber.com\/pet-birds\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/cockatiels-px-3342853-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/lafeber.com\/pet-birds\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/cockatiels-px-3342853-700x700.jpg 700w, https:\/\/lafeber.com\/pet-birds\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/cockatiels-px-3342853-100x100.jpg 100w, https:\/\/lafeber.com\/pet-birds\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/cockatiels-px-3342853-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/lafeber.com\/pet-birds\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/cockatiels-px-3342853.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-30043\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo by <em><a href=\"https:\/\/pixabay.com\/photos\/bird-animal-world-animal-wing-3342853\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">RoyBuri\/Pixabay<\/a><\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>A pet cockatiel will most likely attempt to keep household members\u2019 movements in check with contact calls. When you leave the room, your cockatiel responds with a chirp or sequence of chirps, as if to say, \u201cWhere are you going, and when will you be back?\u201d A cockatiel\u2019s contact calling isn\u2019t strictly reserved for people the bird is affectionately bonded to. Even a \u201chands-off\u201d cockatiel is inclined to send out a contact call from its perch spot in the cage when you leave the room. You can help put your cockatiel at ease by answering its contact call with a quick whistle back when you turn a corner out of its sight.<\/p>\n<h2>The Cockatiel Alarm Call: \u201cAttention! Attention!\u201d<\/h2>\n<p>A pet cockatiel might sound an alarm call if something startles it. This call is a louder, more intense chirp that continues until the bird calms down. Just about any sudden sound or movement, such as a truck rumbling down the street, a crow flying past the window, or a dog being walked on the sidewalk outside, can result in an alarm call. Inside the home, there are even more sights and sounds your cockatiel might feel the need to vocally comment on, such as when you move a chair across the room, sweep the floor, drop a dish, or the phone rings.<\/p>\n<h2>A Happy And\u00a0Content Cockatiel<\/h2>\n<p>The sound of beak grinding is a telltale sign that a cockatiel is happy and relaxed. This is often accompanied by facial feathers that are fanned out over its beak and relaxed, fluffed body feathers. A sleepy cockatiel might grind its beak shortly before falling asleep.<\/p>\n<h2>The Cockatiel &#8220;Leave Me Alone!&#8221; Noise<\/h2>\n<p>An uptight cockatiel will have an uptight look \u2014 the feathers will be held tightly in \u2014\u00a0and it might also let out a quick hiss to show its disdain. One sound you don\u2019t want to hear from your cockatiel is \u201chissing.\u201d A cockatiel that feels threatened might retreat to a corner of its cage or travel carrier and hiss like a snake. This is sometimes the case with cockatiels that are not used to interacting with people, such as an unsocialized cockatiel being brought from the pet store into a new home. It is especially important to not force interaction if the cockatiel is frightened. Instead, allow the cockatiel time to adjust to its new environment.<\/p>\n<h2>Cockatiel &#8220;Ready For Bed&#8221; Signal<\/h2>\n<p>A cockatiel might send out a bedtime call, such as some attention-grabbing chirps, when it is ready for some shuteye. It is your cockatiel\u2019s way of reminding you to go to bed, too.<\/p>\n<h2>Cockatiel Inquisitive Chirp<\/h2>\n<p>A cockatiel that is unsure of something might emit a single \u201dWhat was that?\u201d chirp, as if it is not quite sure what to make of the situation. This might be your cockatiel\u2019s way of asking, \u201cWhat do you think of that sound?\u201d<\/p>\n<h2>Talking \u2019Tiels<\/h2>\n<p>Like most parrots, cockatiels are also capable of talking. A cockatiel\u2019s vocabulary is generally not as extensive as other parrots, such as <a href=\"https:\/\/lafeber.com\/pet-birds\/species\/african-grey-parrot\/\">African greys<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/lafeber.com\/pet-birds\/species\/amazon-parrot\/\">Amazon parrots<\/a>, but some can be taught to say a few words or phrases, such as \u201cHello,\u201d \u201cPretty bird,\u201d \u201cI\u2019m a good bird,\u201d etc. Male cockatiels are more inclined to speak than females. The key to getting a cockatiel to talk is to repeat a specific word or phrase and then moving on to another word\/phrase once it masters it.<\/p>\n<p>Your cockatiel vocalizes to communicate with you. Just as you would check to see why the dog is barking, you should also check to see why your cockatiel is squawking, especially if it sounds urgent. Is there a cat outside the window? Did something fall near its cage? And if your cockatiel is by itself in another room, its chirps might be its way of reminding you, &#8220;Hey, I&#8217;m over here &#8230; talk to me!&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Chirps, warbles, whistles, squawks, cheeps, and more are noises and sounds pet cockatiels make.

Her interest in pet birds started at the age of 9, when she saved up her penny collection to buy Elvis, her cockatiel companion of 22 years. Little did she know then that her love of birds would some day lead to a career in which being chased by a cockatoo during a photo-shoot, having a 5-minute phone conversation with a reader\u2019s African grey parrot, hand-wrestling a caique to get her pilfered ring back and having her work desk \u201cre-decorated\u201d by a visiting Amazon parrot were all just another day at the office. She has a degree in English from the University of California, Davis.","sameAs":["https:\/\/lafeber.com\/pet-birds\/author\/laura\/"],"url":"https:\/\/lafeber.com\/pet-birds\/author\/laura\/"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/lafeber.com\/pet-birds\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5079","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/lafeber.com\/pet-birds\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/lafeber.com\/pet-birds\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lafeber.com\/pet-birds\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lafeber.com\/pet-birds\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5079"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/lafeber.com\/pet-birds\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5079\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":43940,"href":"https:\/\/lafeber.com\/pet-birds\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5079\/revisions\/43940"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lafeber.com\/pet-birds\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/43939"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/lafeber.com\/pet-birds\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5079"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lafeber.com\/pet-birds\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5079"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lafeber.com\/pet-birds\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5079"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
