Explanation:
Most of the qualities you’d really like in a parrot are found in the gentle, amenable cockatiel. This is truly a bird that can perch on your shoulder safely and meet friends without biting. A cockatiel stays nice into maturity and is a really good size for your abode, even if that’s a studio apartment. Your bird can get plenty of exercise in your home and his cage will fit, too.
Cockatiels often genuinely like to be touched. They will beg you to rub the feathers behind their crest, against the grain of the feathers. They might like their cheeks rubbed, especially on their bright red cheek patch. They like you to scratch and help them unfurl pin feathers on their heads when those come in. While loving and affectionate, cockatiels appreciate ambient attention, too. They are happy when they’re out of their cage while you pursue a quiet activity like reading, watching TV or studying.
there are many ways you can take care of your cockatiel and keep it healthy, happy and safe. firstly, Purchase a cage. The cage should be at least 2 feet (0.6 m) tall with a 20-inch width and 18-inch depth, but a larger cage is recommended. The cage should have bars no more than 3/4 of an inch apart. Stainless steel cages are recommended. Because zinc and lead are poisonous to birds, the cage should also be guaranteed to not contain these materials. Additionally, because Cockatiels love to climb around their cage, the cage should have at least a few horizontal bars.
next, Purchase the other supplies you'll need. Cockatiels, like any pet bird, require things to keep them entertained in their cages. You will need to purchase:Two food bowls and a water bowl. You will need separate bowls for the dry and wet bird food (wet food will be items like fruit, cooked beans, etc.)A skirt for the cage to catch thrown seed.Lots of perches for the cage. Cockatiels like to climb and play so lots of perches will make your cockatiel very happy. You will notice that your cockatiel will choose one perch as his home base (the perch where he will sleep.)A bunch of toys for your Cockatiel to play with. Buy several toys and rotate them every week so that your bird isn't bored. Cockatiels love to chew, so toys like twig balls and palm strips are best.
