New Cockatiels Birds for sale in Shefford, Central Bedfordshire

9 New Cockatiels Birds for sale in Shefford, Central Bedfordshire

The Cockatiel, also known affectionately as the Tiel or by some Australian nicknames such as Weiro and Quarrion, originates from the arid interior of Australia. These small parrots measure about 12-13 inches long, including their distinctive long tail and expressive crest which they raise or lower to communicate their mood. Wild males typically sport a yellow face with orange cheek patches, while females have a more subdued grey face and barred tail feathers. Cockatiels are known for their gentle and social temperament, forming close bonds with their owners and delighting in affectionate interactions like perching on shoulders. They are playful, intelligent, and moderately vocal, capable of mimicking whistles and sounds, making them suitable pets for families and apartment dwellers in the UK. Due to the UK's cooler, damper climate, care requirements include providing a spacious, draft-free cage indoors with stable temperatures between 18-24°C, a balanced diet of high-quality pellets and fresh produce, and daily social engagement. Their moderate noise level and friendly nature make cockatiels a popular choice among bird enthusiasts looking for a loving, lifelong companion.

FAQs

How much does a cockatiel cost?

Cockatiels typically cost between £30 and £200 in the UK, with prices varying depending on the bird's color mutation and breeder. Common mutations generally fall within the £90 to £180 range. Buyers should also consider additional costs such as a suitable cage, toys, perches, food, and initial veterinary care, which can add significantly to the total initial investment.

Is it better to have one or two cockatiels?

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.

What is the lifespan of a cockatiel?

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.

Are cockatiels suitable for beginners?

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.
