Best Answer

You can pick up a cockatiel whether it is hand tame or not. This does influence how you pick it up, though. If your cockatiel is hand tame, you just put it on your finger, your arm, your shoulder, etc. and it just sits there happily. When it is not hand tame, you have to pick the cockatiel up by its back with your index finger and middle finger around its head. On the internet, look up ways to hold an untame cockatiel and find a diagram so that you pick your cockatiel up correctly if it is untame.

Yes you can pick up your pet turtle! But you should wash your hands very well afterwards because turtles may carry some diseases such as salmonella. I hope that answers your question!

Why is your cockatiel not very tame?

Cockatiels are wild birds so if they were never tamed when they were young, they will still be untame. It is easier to tame a young cockatiel, however with the right attitude, you can tame an adult cockatiel. You have to start with trust. Taming a cockatiel take a while and one wrong move could ruin all your work. Start with standing next to the cage and talking to your bird. Do this for about a week so your cockatiel gets to know your voice and is calmer around you. Then you could try putting a fresh vegetable (in your hand) next to the cockatiel and hold it there. Don't force the cockatiel to get closer to your hand - this will scare him/her. You need to earn trust. Eventually, your cockatiel will be comfortable with you having your hand near him/her. If you cockatiel is comfortable to actually eat from your hand, you can try picking it up. Do not grab our cockatiel on its back, try to persuade him/her to sit on your finger. Do not force your cockatiel to get onto your hand. This will ruin the trust. Eventually your cockatiel will be ready to sit on your finger and eventually your shoulder! It's all about trust and if you're cockatiel trusts you, it would love to sit on your shoulder!


What is the proper way to hold a cockatiel?

Well, there aren't really correct and incorrect ways. Of course, you don't want to pick up your tiel by the neck. Most cockatiels will stand on your finger, or your shoulder. You don't really hold a cockatiel. It's more like they are walking or standing on you. Most of the time-they will step up on your finger, and sometimes they will use your arm as a bridge to make their way up to your shoulder. If they nip you sometimes, they are not intentionally biting you. They are simply using their beak as a third hand, to grab onto you to help get themselves up.
