description Cockatiel Overview

Cockatiels are known for their distinctive crests and gentle personalities, making them appealing to many first-time bird owners. They are intelligent and can learn to whistle tunes and mimic sounds. Cockatiels require a good-sized cage to accommodate their wingspan and enjoy opportunities for supervised out-of-cage time. They are prone to producing dust, which can be a consideration for those with allergies.

A balanced diet of pellets, seeds, and fresh produce is essential. Expect a lifespan of 15-25 years, requiring a long-term commitment.
