Cockatiels Birds in Brighton and Hove

Cockatiels are very social birds and can become lonely if left alone for long periods. While a single cockatiel can bond well with its owner, having two birds often provides companionship for each other, reducing stress and boredom, especially if you are frequently out. However, a bonded pair may interact less with humans, so if you can spend a lot of time with one bird, a single cockatiel may suffice.

Cockatiels have an average lifespan of 20 to 25 years with proper care. This long lifespan requires a serious commitment from their owners to provide consistent attention, diet, and health care throughout their lives.

Yes, cockatiels are widely regarded as excellent pets for beginners due to their gentle nature, manageable size, and straightforward care requirements. However, potential owners should be aware of their social needs, commitment to long-term care, and importance of regular interaction to keep them happy and healthy.
