Because this is their natural breeding season.

Since i cant get him a mate right now, It would take a while for him to get used to her, could i get him a fake bird to sit on the perch? would that help the noise at all?

It is very hard to breed Tiels. And chances are he will not breed with just any female tiel. Do you know for sure that he is a male? Have you got him DNA tested to find out? Because that is the only real way to tell. I had a male and a female Tiel and they lived together 10 years, and never once bred. the reason he is being loud, could be cause of several different reasons.. He is bored, lonely, hungry, thursty, singing, playing, wanting out, needs his cage cleaned, needs a mist bath.. Out of all my years of owning birds, they usually get noisy just because they feel like it. And cockatiels are notorious for that!

I'm sure hes a male, i didnt never get a DNA test but Im positive on it, He can not get anymore yellow on his face. And if he was female he wouldnt be as nosiey as he is now. He is just this nosey during the spring after moulting.

Hey racinggurl07,

Two years isn't too old. Is he singing or screaming??? My cockatiel sings all the time because he's happy, but he never just screams.

My cockatiels Peaches & Sunny had 2 babies in January this year. They are already grown now, but they are so sweet.

You can get a cockatiel from a pet shop or from a breeder.

I really don't know why he's screaming--it can be for many reasons like tikeyasmom said.

Let us know if you need more help.

I thought he was screaming because we moved last night, we drove 2 hours in the car, but hes been in the car alot from moving alot. But even before we moved he was loud in our other apartment. He was loud all day today but this afternoon he calmed down a bit, i misted him, he didnt like it but im sure it felt good. And i also bought him more Millet, so hopefully hes not stressed.

Females can also have yellow faces......... my Maui has a yelow face and crest......but she´s a Pied Tiel.......

You can try searchinh online for a breeder, I wish I could help more but I have no clue where you live, Í am also member on a bird forum where Tiel owners have clutches or young birds for sale....... you may wanna look there....PM me if you like

can you post Spike pics??

Surely he's smart enough to have noticed you packing boxes, ect and know what that meant from moving before. Surely he's smart enough to know he's in a new house/apartment?
