🐦 Cockatiel

Cockatiels are charming, affectionate, and intelligent birds that make wonderful companion pets, especially for first-time bird owners. Native to Australia, these small parrots are loved for their playful personalities, cute head crests, and ability to whistle tunes or mimic sounds.

They thrive on interaction and enjoy perching on their owner's shoulder, being petted, and exploring their surroundings. Cockatiels are social, gentle, and rarely aggressive, making them great for families and even children—with supervision.

They need a spacious cage, toys for mental stimulation, and daily social time outside the cage. With proper care, a cockatiel can live 15–20 years, forming a deep bond with their owner and bringing joy every day with their whistles and quirky behavior.
