Oh, he's all play. Both of them are big fakers. Rarely do I actually get bitten and bleed.

Don't love you anymore? Did something happen, Erik? I thought Coco really liked you, considering the video you posted the other day.

Well he did like me. But, I've tried getting them out of the cage lately and wont step up. Just now, i tried getting Coco out of the cage, but he made little noises and bit me. Not the cute little pretend bites, but harmful ones. I tried taking Pip out too and started yelling at me and telling me im fat. No but really, he just ran away and didn't let me get him out. :cry:

You know, cockatiels can be prone to night frights, and that may alter their behavior the next morning, after it occurred. Since they share a cage, it's possible that one had a night fright, which was enough to scare the other one. A good way to fix this is to cover them up at night with a sheet, so they're not able to see what might be scaring them.

Birds are also not the best adjusters to sudden change, so if something in the house changed, or something about your daily schedule changed, it could affect them more than you think. Best talk to Carolyn about it though. She might know better as to what could've happened.

It is most likely because of the dog. Dogs are natural predators, and cockatiels are prey birds, so they are naturally able to tell what is a predator.

I had this same problem. I have a small dog who likes to stare at my birds, and I'm watching someone else's dog, who... While harmless, is still intimidating by his size. Progress with trying to work with my Lucy became much slower because of having dogs near her cage. That's why I took her to my bedroom, without the dogs being there. The one-on-one time made it much easier for her to bond with me. Doing the same would probably help things with you and your bird. Give some one on one time with each of them (just not at the same time), in a room where only you, and one of the two birds are in. Spend a few minutes in that room with them each day, and you will notice improvement.

You can still make a thread about it, if you feel the need for more suggestions.

It's probably because of the dog. The birds don't want to come out of the cage because they're afraid, and they think you're crazy for asking them to come out of the cage with a dog in the room lol. You'll probably have different results if you try again when there's nothing for them to be afraid of.

The only problem is, that my parents have banned me from taking pets into the house. Thats why now they make me have them outside with the dog. It's very uncomfortable when your parents wont let you do something you kow you have to do. And even though I explain them every time, they just wont listen to me. They're afraid i might get asthma or some other sort of condition, as if they were to be saying that cockatiels are street rats or something.

What should i do?
