Like I said in the last photo, he's a clever boy. We've been playing all the youtube tielfluencer videos to him and he can imitate a few of them. Here's him singing the cookie song.

Oh that's too precious!

I love that cockatiels have their own 'memes' like Alex' honk (he's sorely missed) and Merle's dippidoos, but my favourite has to be the cookie song! Also, I love his avian accent.

Tux can do yum yum's dippidoos too. Will upload a video at some point if I catch him doing it. :-)

I tried to teach my cockatiel the “bu bu brrrrup bu bu” part of the cookie song, and he didn’t pick it up whatsoever, but my African Grey did!

Not gonna lie.. it took everyone in the house singing it for weeks on end! 😄

We’ll done Tux! I was playing The Kiffness cookie song every morning just because it’s awesome. One day our tiel just started screaming cookie cookie out of nowhere. He can’t get the beat right though!
