Description
Occasionally, Jake would thrust his wings out and spread his tail feathers out as if to fly. I don't think this was a territorial response because he wasn't defending his position aggressively. Rather I think he was just making his presence known and signaling that that this was in fact his property.YOU MAY USE THIS AS A REFERENCE ONLY, THIS IS NOT FREE STOCK!

Congratulations! Your work is featured here in group's October/November bird spotlight!
Oct. - Nov. Flock-Together Feature: 'TIEL TIME!Cuddly, convivial & comical are just 3 reasons why the cockatiel is one of the top-ranked companion birds.
Cockatiels are also masterly whistlers, male cockatiels in particular are known for their musical serenades, which can be directed at their favored person, their favorite object or their mirror reflection. When not whistling or keeping themselves busy foraging for food and fun around their enclosures, 'tiels often enjoy spending their time snuggling on their favored personβs shoulder.

I was incredibly lucky to catch this. The only thing that would have made it better was if I had gotten his wing tips in the picture as well. Still I'm real proud I was able to catch it.

I have a cockatiel who looks mostly the same, they do exercise either to their wings or because they are having a good time c:

aww thanks. It's not so bad, he died many years ago. But seeing this picture makes me remember. Though my new bird is much more affectionate.

Uh, that's a female as far as I know, not a male.

what makes you say that?

The coloration is not that of a usual male, although I could be wrong.

we got him from a friend and they said he was a boy. It is hard to tell with their markings sometimes. No way to tell now. My new bird Ellroy [link] I'm not 100% positive, but I'm pretty sure he's a male by the way he acts.

Beautiful Cockatiel.
My Budgie never did anything like that!
π: 0 β©: 1
Budgie? Like a parakeet? I had couple of parakeets growing up. They never did anything like that. In fact out of all the birds I ever had, he's the only one that did
π: 0 β©: 1
Oops forgot they call them parakeets in America
π: 0 β©: 1
no they still call them budgies here too, but I think parakeet is more common
π: 0 β©: 1
Ahh... in the UK they are called Budgies but there is still a few that call them Budgerigars
π: 0 β©: 1
yep, people don't really call them that

What a cutie ^^
I love it when they spread out there pretty little wings.
π: 0 β©: 1
yeah I know, I wish my bird Ellroy would do that. He never really flies or does anything with his wings. Though sometimes he'll hold them out a little when he sings to himself in the mirror.
π: 0 β©: 1
The spreading of wings like your bird in the picture is actually a possesive behaviour telling you that whatever they are sitting on 'belongs' to them XD. So maybe your new bird just respect your authority.
The slight holding out of the wings that your current bird does is a showing off male behaviour often done to impress the lady birds.
π: 0 β©: 1
yeah, my bird does more than respect my authority, he really loves me and I mean REALLY he would like to love me more but I won't let him. Cause it's gross. He's bonded to me in an unhealthy way, I think.
π: 0 β©: 1
Ah, I see XD. You getting dirty bird lovin'?
At least he's tame and friendly, and bird who hates you would be no fun.
