Caring for Cockatiels

Cockatiels need room for their crest and long tail as well as full wing extension. Offer gentle social interaction and daily enrichment, not constant handling. Some birds experience night frights; discuss safe sleeping arrangements with an avian veterinarian. A balanced diet and observation of breathing, weight and behaviour are important parts of routine care.

This is general educational guidance, not individual veterinary or legal advice. Ask a qualified veterinarian about your animal's needs. Availability, legal eligibility and delivery arrangements must be verified separately.
