Is my baby cockatiel singing at 3 months old normal behavior?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Bird | Cockatiel | Male | unneutered | 2 months and 26 days old | 0.2 lbs

I have a baby cockatiel and lately hes been warbling a bit. It sounds like the beginnings of a song,but i think they dont start vocalizing until theyre 8 months of age. (ozzie is only about 3 months). Is there anything i should be worried about?

Males can beginning singing or try to sing as early as 11 weeks of age. If Ozzie is behaving normally, eating normally and gaining weight regularly then there is likely no cause for concern. You may have a tiny feathered prodigy on your hands!
