Two of the greatest things that you can train your pet to do in cockatiel training are shoulder riding and speech. A cockatiels' speech may be incomparable to the parrots and the mynahs but they are comprehensible. When training your cockatiel, start with short words or expressions such as "baba", "hello" or "hi" or anything similar. Before teaching your bird another word, ensure that he has already mastered the first word you taught it. Training your cockatiel in speech will take a lot of patience and determination, but it will be attained.
One other cockatiel training mentioned is the shoulder training. This can be very helpful for a lot of owners as when achieved, you will be able to do things using your hand and your bird can just stay on your shoulder while you do your tasks. Some birds that have been successfully trained to do this would usually climb to your finger, your arm then sit on your shoulder. Doing this will make your pet and your lives easier as you can do things while they're on your shoulder, and your pet, can enjoy going around the house without any problems.
If you want your bird to be given this kind of cockatiel training, always remember that when your cockatiel shoulder rides, all of your accessories and jewelry should be watched over or removed so as your pet will not cause any damage. These are the type of things that cockatiels like to break and play with while on your shoulder and it can also be harmful to them for some things and reasons that we are not knowledgeable of.
One other thing that you should consider in cockatiel training most especially in shoulder riding is that cockatiels can be very light and you might forget that your pet is on your shoulder and can be hazardous to your bird. Always check your shoulder from time to time to be safe - do this especially when you are in the kitchen and you are doing some cooking or anything that involves a hot burner. This can be very dangerous for your pet. Not only are cockatiels light, they have a tendency of being very quiet to and it is not far from impossible to forget that your pet is actually sitting on your shoulder.
