Yawning 5 times in a row is quite normal in cockatiels. I would worry if she did the yawning over and over and very often. If that is the case you should take her to an avian veterinarian. Yawning in cockatiels is adjusting their crops which is ok, if it is done several times a day, but not ok if the bird is bothered by something in the crop so that he adjusts all the time.

Yawning is a normal behavior for birds as it it for other animals. Excessive yawning, however, may indicate an irritation in or around the throat. Have her examined by your avian veterinarian if it continues.
