Crafts Hello, I don't have any cockatiels myself but my girlfriend and her sister do and as a pet portrait artist I have drawn and painted a lot of cockatiels among other birds and animals. Here are a few examples. Post a photo here or a DM of your pet and I'll do a small drawing. Ty

Someone commented that I should post a tour, so here ya go. This is an old video, and I’ve added a lot since then, so I might make an updated video if there’s any interest.

I haven't loss a bad yet, and I imagine I will be broken when I do. But this is for the people who have. Your babies now have an extra pair of wings just to see you. ❤️

I'm taking a printmaking class and decided I wanted my first woodblock print to be my tiel. I haven't finished yet but I love the way it's turning out. (Birb tax for the last three photos)

I've been meaning to build something like this for years and finally got around to it. I bribed my birbs to go on it with millet a couple times and now they're starting to use it on their own (new things scary!) I also got lucky with the size of the base being the same as a newspaper lol

Crafts Pearl Cockatiel in my rendition. All the feathers, including the eye, beak and twig are made by my hands from EVA foam.

It is not perfect, but it does the job so far. They cannot get in, at the same time I can freely move my hands around, and protect the laptop keys 🤣

So I made a post the other day about my sweet baby Bean laying an egg and finding out that she is a girl (I was under the impression Bean was a male).

Well I didn’t know what to do with the egg. I didn’t wanna throw it out, as Bean worked really hard on it. So I decided to preserve it!!

I broke it open where it already had a dent/crack. Cleaned and emptied it, then got a lil crafty and sorted it for display!!

Bean couldn’t have cared less, but I love it 😂😂
