  1. I don't know what you mean by not very much, but I think it would somewhat depend upon the age of your cockatiel (I would imagine growing cockatiels eat more), and when you acquired him/her (i.e. if you just got it yesterday, no, it won't eat for a couple days). Make sure your tiel is not loading up on seeds and millet spray, or it won't eat anything nutritious you give it. Convert it to a pelleted diet vs. seeds, so that what it does consume will be enough nutrition for it. Give it lots of veggies also (leafy greens, carrots, spinach), so you can be assured it has a well-balanced diet. And if your tiel has recently decided it doesn't want to eat much all of a sudden compared to normal, by all means, get it a checkup at the vet's.  


  2. You drink a cocktail.

    You feed a cockatiel... and no, they don't eat too much.

  3. Does your bird appear listless or sick?  Take it to the vet.

    Or you're just making a problem where there isn't one, and I'd just tell you to relax.  Watch the bird for signs of illness.

  4. yes, they don't eat very much.

  5. Cockatiels dont eat an insane amount to begin with. However make sure she always has food in her tray to avoid hunger. Also make sure that what she is eating is nutritious. Dont give her only seeds and millet. Give her pellets. My cockatiels really enjoy the fruit flavored ones and had no problems with a direct switch over.

    Its possible that she just doesnt like the type of food your giving her. So switch brands or flavors. Add vitamin drops to her water to make sure she is getting nutrients. and the mineral blocks are good too.

    Make sure she had fresh vegies/fruit too. She may prefer that and only want to eat that, it all the depends on the bird.

    If its a really big problem and has been consisten, i would go to the vet because it may be a sign that your bird is very sick. How are her fecies? are they discolored and different? You can usually tell how a bird is feeling internally by analyzing her droppings.

    Good luck.
