Cockatiel randy bird syndrome is very common in cockatiels that don't have a compatible partner of the opposite sex and same species, especially during the breeding season. There are many different manifestations of cockatiel randy bird syndrome. Cockatiel Randy Bird Syndrome in male cockatiels often results in significantly different patterns of behavior than seen in female cockatiels. In the accompanying video on Cockatiel Randy Bird Syndrome we see a delightful cockatiel get excited about a foot massager and then having a wonderful time "going to town" on it. The video of Cody is courtesy of Cheryl Willobird with my thanks, and yours too, after you've enjoyed watching it!

Although this video about Cockatiel Randy Bird Syndrome is both funny and amusing, at another level this sort of behaviour is not likely to be seen in nature. Cockatiel Randy Bird Syndrome has lots to do with how cockatiels adapt to situations in which their natural needs from a young age of having a choice of partners of the opposite sex before reaching sexual maturity have not been met. In my book "Caring for Birds with Love and Gratitude" I advise pairing birds after they have been initially hand tamed, with compatible partners of same species and opposite sex, before either has reach ed sexual maturity, if and when possible.

Http://www.CockatielsHealth.com brings you another video clip of cockatiels Shadow and Cricket courtesy of Greg. This time Shadow dances All Shook Up Cockatiel Style.
Be sure to enjoy their other dances which on one hand are very amusing and on the other belie compensation behaviour for unmet needs. So let's laugh some more while pondering the concept that many of the emotions and needs of birds might parallel our own.
Details of other videos of Shadow and Cricket dancing are :

http://www.CockatielsHealth.com brings you Hot To Trot Randy Bird Dance featuring Shadow egged on by Cricket who is along for the ride, and courtesy Greg McCarthy.
Avian Vet Specialist Dr Ross Perry notes that this video is highly amusing and close to x-rated but not quite. It shows another aspect of Randy Bird Syndrome behaviour. Cricket and Shadow are friends but are both males and neither have compatible partners of the opposite sex and same species yet. During peak breeding season they're feeling more than their oats and find a rolling dowel perch is not so easy!

http://www.CockatielsHealth.com with Australia's leading bird vet specialist Dr Ross Perry brings you a very interesting video clip Hot To Trot Randy Bird Dance featuring Shadow egged on by Cricket who is along for the ride, courtesy of Greg McCarthy. This video of two hot to trot randy birds dancing is highly amusing and close to x-rated but not quite. Shadow, the pivotal dancer and Cricket are both male cockatiels without female partners and both are feeling their oats (being randy birds) in peak breeding season. Shadow is very keen to find some way of relieving his needs using the doweling perch but he finds a rolling dowel perch is not so easy! . This behaviour demonstrates another aspect of Randy Bird Syndrome.
Learn lots more about Randy Bird Syndrome in Dr Ross Perry's book "Caring for Birds with Love" available from http://www.DrRossPerry.com.au
I recommend whenever possible compatible birds be kept in pairs of same species and opposite sex and be given the opportunity to breed 1-2 x every 1-2 years by provision of appropriate nesting boxes, logs or nesting material and dietary changes to support breeding. This is my preferred way of addressing Randy Bird Syndrome.

DrRossPerry.com.au with Sydney’s Bird Vet Specialist Dr Ross Perry show you scenes of Narrabeen Beach and Lagoon on Sydney’s Northern Beaches while informing you of some of many the needs of single caged birds. Dr Ross Perry advises that Dis—Ease and unfulfilled needs, be they physical space to exercise, protection from predators and poisons and various bird hazards, dietary imbalances, irregular photoperiod and lack of direct sunlight, and emotional and sexual dis—ease all contribute to disease e.g.Randy Bird Syndrome.
Dr Ross Perry has written extensively on Randy Bird Syndrome and emphasises that it involves much more than your cockatiel having or wanting surrogate sex when deprived of the opportunity of living with and celebrating life with a compatible companion of the same species and opposite sex and same species.
You can now order his book “Caring for Birds with Love and Gratitude” one of Dr Ross Perry’s website www.DrRossPerry.com.au.
“Caring For Birds with Love and Gratitude” by Dr Ross Perry also contains a wealth of helpful information on the principles and steps involved in match-making birds so as to minimise the risks of disease transfer and fighting. You can also access lots of other interesting videos with Dr Ross Perry.

Hi!
I intend CockatielHealth.com to be the best site about Cockatiels Health and Diseases.
As an introduction, I, Dr Ross Perry graduated as a vet BVSc(Hons) from University of Sydney in 1972 and was registered as Australia’s first Bird Specialist by examination in Caged and Aviary Bird Health in 1993 with FACVSc(Avian Health). I have written many articles and book chapters, as well as “Vade Mecum 2 Diseases of Birds” and “Caring for Birds with Love and Gratitude”. I served as Dial-A-Vet for 3.5 years on Sydney radio 2GB, and was featured many times on Animal Hospital, a television production by Channel 10.
Some of my childhood pets were cockatiels and I bred Cockatiels and other birds for a time, so became interested in Cockatiels Health and Diseases at an early age. Cockatiels Health and Diseases issues are some of the most common that I treat and give advice about.
I consult in Cromer, Sydney, Australia about Cockatiels Health by appointment. Cromer is on Sydney’s Northern Beaches near suburbs such as Brookvale, Dee Why, Collaroy, Beacon Hill, Frenchs Forest, Allambie Heights, Belrose, Davidson, Terrey Hills, Warriewood, Manly and Mona Vale. Cromer is also within easy traveling distance by car from Sydney’s North Shore suburbs such as Crows Nest, Chatswood, Roseville, Lindfield, Gordon, St Ives and Pymble. I can be contacted via http://www.DrRossPerry.com.au or directly when you register your name and e-mail address via this CockatielsHealth.com website.
I am writing and illustrating a major textbook on Cockatiels Health and Diseases for vets and others around the world wanting to learn about caring for and treating cockatiels. This book wil includes lots of important advice about choosing and buying pet cockatiels, cockatiel diets, cockatiel cages, quarantine, cockatiel toys, cockatiel health hazards, poisonous plants and perches, moulting, wing clipping, taming cockatiels, calming cockatiels, handling cockatiels, holding cockatiels, restraining cockatiels, cockatiel behaviour, determining the sex of cockatiels, teaching cockatiels to talk, introductions and match making, breeding cockatiels, hand-raising cockatiels, sick cockatiels, diarrhoea, respiratory diseases, infectious diseases, PBFD Psittacine Beak Feather Disease, Cockatiel Polyomavirus, Psittacosis and Avian Chlamydophilosis (Chlamydia), bacterial infections in cockatiels such as coliform infections, Cockatiel fungal infections including Megabacteria Associated Disease, yeast infections and thrush, protozoal infections such as Canker and Trichomoniasis, Coccidiosis, Worms including Roundworms, Capillaria & Tapeworms, Mites including Scaly Face, and Lice. “Cockatiel Health” also details other diseases such as Cancer, Heavy Metal Poisoning, leg paralysis, sore eyes, feather plucking and feather loss as well as injuries such as broken wings and broken legs. It will show you how to treat cockatiels, and how to crop feed them, how to give medicines by mouth and injection, dose rates for medicines, drugs, and dietary supplements and other ways to support health and well-being and much more. Aspects of the above will be included in this website and there will be links to help you access much more detailed information.
I am very interested in an integrated or holistic approach to health and wellness as it applies to cockatiels health and diseases, other birds and animals, and their custodians.
This website is under development so please be patient and keep revisiting it. Please register your name and email address as soon as possible and log in so you will soon be able to gain access to much more information and help about caring for cockatiels than you can access just by browsing this website. So register soon and help share what you learn with other cockatiel owners and bird keepers so that together we improve the quality of life of caged cockatiels around the world.
Please also explore a major website of mine http://www.drrossperry.com.au by clicking on this link. Remember, this is how you can contact me and access Harrisons Bird Foods and many other products to support health and well-being in your cockatiels.
