My cockatiel does recall, go to perch, target, wave, wings, turn around, fetch, go through ring, basketball, ring toss and birdie bowling. I think cockatiels are just as good at tricks as the larger parrots! The only thing they don't do is hang upside down, lay on their backs, play dead, etc. They just aren't comfortable going upside down. But they're super intelligent!

I personally love teaching tricks to mine. Recall is definitely important to teach any bird, just in case they do manage to get outdoors.
