Cockatiels

Make excellent companion parrots when hand reared, second only to the Budgerigar. They are native to and found all over Australia. The Cockatiel's lifespan in captivity is between 15–20 years. They come in many different colours. Males are definitely the best talkers and whistlers but females tame down just as well and make excellent pets. My cockatiels are fed a good quality seed mix, pellets, fresh fruit and veg daily.
