COCKATIEL

Description

These attractive little parrots are considered part of the cockatoo family (Cacatuidae). As a member of this family, they display their cute little erectile crests, as well as have their male/female colorings and their nesting behaviors.
Young cockatiels are more slender than the adult, have incomplete feathering on the head, extensive barring on their breasts, and pinkish to light gray bills.
The adult cockatiel weighs 3 to 4 ounces and is 12 inches from beak to the tip of the tail. The adult generally has darker feathers and beaks. Male cockatiels generally have brighter yellow heads and check patches, as well as prominent crests. Most cockatiels live 12 to 14 years, though they can live as long as 20 to 25 years.
In the wild the cockatiel is predominantly gray, this is a normal Grey Cockatiel. The basic pigments in the cockatiel are yellow, red, and black. There have been a variety of color variations, or cockatiel mutations, first occurring in the wild and then resulting in domestic breeding.

Cockatiel behavior can’t be beat if you are looking for a sweet beginner bird. Cockatiels are very docile and friendly to people as well as other birds. In the wild they live in groups of about twelve birds, though they will flock in the hundreds after breeding season and where food is plentiful. Consequently they can be housed very well with other small birds of the non-parrot family. They like attention and handling. Both males and females make equally good pets!
Cockatiel behavior problems are easily averted if you provide your pet with a stimulating environment and companionship.
Do you live in an apartment or condominium?  Are there children about?  Are you on the go a lot or gone for extended periods of time?  Do you have a limited pet budget?  Do you like to be greeted and admired? If so, then the cockatiel could very well be just the pet for you and your family!
