Pet Cockatiels For Sale...

The Cockatiel is one of the best known and most loved of all the pet birds.

They are cheerful, friendly, and easy to train; making them one of the most popular pet birds. Males can often learn to talk and whistle. They are more than a pet they are a companion.

The Cockatiel is perhaps best loved for its wonderful disposition, intelligence and bright personality. They are much smaller than a lot of the other parrots, approximately 8 inches long from crest to end of tail, making them much easier to care for and a great apartment pet.

Another wonderful thing about Cockatiels is they are relatively quiet. While speaking is not guaranteed most males have been known to whistle songs and say a few phrases while females tend to be more quiet with an occasional chirp chirp sound.

The Cockatiel does not require much care. With a good balanced diet ( Fresh dark leafy greens, fresh orange, green & yellow veggies, a high-quality seed mix and fresh water) your cockatiel should do very well. A Cockatiel's lifespan is directly affected by the quality of its diet. The average lifespan is between 10 and 16 years, but when fed a healthy, varied diet a Cockatiel can live 20 to 25 years!

Cockatiels do very well in cages with many toys to keep them from becoming bored. These birds require social interaction in order to maintain their emotional well being; place the cage in the area of the house where family members spend most of their time, such as a family room or den.
