Another popular bird, currently one of the top household birds is the cockatiel! Cockatiels look cute, small, and timid, but they are mighty parrots that love attention and enjoy indulging their curiosities. The cockatiel is curious yet gentle, independent yet affectionate. They do not mind keeping themselves busy for hours on end by talking in a mirror and playing with toys. However, they also enjoy being held and petted regularly by their human family members. The cockatiel is a lively, fun bird to interact and live with. They are easy to care for, and they can adapt to many different types of environments if they get the attention, interaction, and affection that they crave.
Can these birds TALK?
Some can! Most can only make sounds like whistles, (there’s lots of videos of birds whistling “If You’re Happy and You Know It”, it’s very cute) while others can do mimicry! Usually the words they mimic aren’t very clear however, so if talking birds is what you’re looking for this might not be the best match 🙁
