Why do my cockatiel's eyes always close when he is chilling out?

Question

I just got my cockatiel today. He closes his eyes and kinda rocks back and forth. Is this normal?

Answer 1

Lol its normal I used to have two cockatiels and they did the same thing even one of them started whistling and the other started grinding his beak. Don't worry about it it's just their way of showing that they're comfortable, relaxed, and maybe just a lil tired. =)

Answer 2

Very normal! He is relaxing and most likely getting used to his new home. If he's anything like my past cockatiels, in a few days you'll be wishing he was as chilled out as right now! They're lazy sometimes, they love to doze off. Enjoy your pet!

Answer 3

Haha, I thinks it's funny when my cockatiel does that :D

It's perfectly normal.
