Did you know?
The cockatiel is a medium-sized parrot native to Australia, renowned for its distinctive erectile crest and melodious calls. Unlike many parrots, cockatiels are quieter, gentler companions with expressive personalities and strong bonds to their owners. These sociable birds can live 15–20 years in captivity and are known for their ability to whistle complex tunes and mimic household sounds. Their soft gray and yellow plumage, often accented by white and orange cheek patches, has made them one of the most popular pet parrot species worldwide.
