Cockatiel Tricks
You will get results when you are training your cockatiel if you teach them to obey your command to get one of their favorites: food or affection gestures such as preening or scratching its neck. You have to teach them lovingly and consistently. Never do the training in a hurry, dispose at least of half an hour. Cockatiels have a short attention span; so then your lesson should not be more than 20 to 30 minutes. Affection as a reward works sometimes better than food treats. A tame pet that really loves you has a motivation to please you. Remember to praise your Cockatiel when it performs what you are teaching!
Cockatiels learn fairly complicated tricks, for example, putting a penny in a piggy bank.
Cockatiels may not learn how to talk but they learn how to whistle very easily.

You could teach it to play dead, and then when you have company that would really freak em out. If he just got stiff and fell off his perch and lay on the bottom of his cage, that would be so funny!! LMAO and then when they all are gasping that the little feather duster went toes up, he could sit up and say, "GOTCHA". GL with that. let me know how it goes.

Teach it to crack open a bottle of beer. That would be cool.
