6 Male Cockatiels Birds for sale in Coalville, Leicestershire
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.
