In a delightful video that captured the hearts of many online, Kiki, a talented cockatiel, decided her owner needed a wake-up call unlike any other. The feathery friend chose an iconic tune for the occasion, “September” by Earth, Wind & Fire.
The owner, taken aback and amused by this early morning serenade, managed to capture a snippet of Kiki’s performance. Sharing it online, she jokingly pleaded for assistance, asking, “Send help plz where’s the off button on parrot.”
Cockatiels, like Kiki, are known for their vibrant personalities and their love for music. It’s fascinating to learn that in the wild, only grey cockatiels are found. The myriad of colors we see among pet cockatiels comes from selective breeding.
Cockatiels, originally from the Australian outback, were first discovered in 1770. They are the smallest members of the cockatoo family. Their sociable nature and their bond with humans make them beloved. Their crests, an expressive feature, help convey their mood. Whether curious, excited, or content, their crest’s position offers a glimpse into their feelings at any moment.
Cockatiels can live for 16 to 25 years. Training a cockatiel to mimic tunes or sing along with us involves patience, love, and regular interaction.
Kiki’s story is just one example of how the beautiful creatures God has created can bring joy, laughter, and music into our lives.
