Cockatiel Care Guide

Cockatiels (Nymphicus hollandicus) are charming and sociable birds that belong to the parrot family. Native to Australia, these small parrots have gained immense popularity as pets worldwide due to their friendly nature, captivating appearance, and relatively low maintenance requirements. Cockatiels are known for their distinctive crest of feathers on top of their heads, which they can raise and lower to express their emotions. Cockatiels are medium-sized birds, typically measuring around 12 to 14 inches (30 to 36 cm) in length, including their long tails. They exhibit significant color variations, with wild-type birds sporting a gray body, a yellow face and crest, and orange cheek patches. Through selective breeding, a wide range of color mutations has been developed, including lutino (yellow), pied, pearl, and cinnamon variations.

Cockatiels are naturally curious and enjoy exploring their environment. Providing toys and items for them to chew, swing on, and manipulate can help keep them mentally stimulated and entertained. Male cockatiels, in particular, have a tendency to whistle and mimic sounds they hear. This makes them capable of learning simple tunes and even mimicking common household noises. Cockatiels are generally gentle birds, making them suitable for families and individuals alike. With proper socialization and training, they can be comfortable with being handled and touched. They are diurnal, which means they are most active during the day and sleep at night. This makes them a great companion for individuals who are also active during daylight hours.
